Top Artists
1. The Beatles - 629 scrobbles
I confess that I am one of the many suckers who shelled out a crapload of money to buy the remasters that came out in September. They certainly sound better than the original '87 CD releases, but unless you have a really good stereo system (which I don't) the difference isn't big enough to be worth all that money. Still, at least I finally completed my collection and now I'm forced to admit that there are some very good songs in their early catalog.

2. Bob Dylan - 486
This is all back-catalog listening. Dylan released two albums this year, neither of which I bought. And based on the reviews, I don't intend to.

3. Opeth - 476
This is mostly back-catalog listening. Opeth released Watershed in '08 and I still had it on heavy rotation for much of this year. I don't think it was their best album to date, but it was very good and I like the direction they're heading in. I'm looking forward to a new album sometime in 2010.

4. Johann Sebastian Bach - 467
What is there to say? Timeless.

5. Bruce Springsteen - 417
In one sense this is all back-catalog listening. The newest Springsteen album I own is The Rising from 2002. But earlier this year I bought The River from 1980. It's a mixed album. There are great songs like the title track and "Hungry Heart" and there are no bad songs. But unlike most Springsteen albums, it felt like a collection of random songs; their sum was no greater than the parts.

5. Mastodon - 413
I discovered Mastodon late last year. I bought Leviathan in December '08 and by the middle of this year I'd bought their complete catalog. Crack The Skye is my absolute favorite album of '09. From what I hear there'll be no new album in 2010 which is fine with me since (a) I'll still be listening to Crack The Skye on heavy rotation for a while and (b) I have no idea how they can possibly top themselves.

7. Marisa Monte - 390
Love her voice. Always have, probably always will. And I absolutely love the lyrics that Arnaldo Antunes writes for many of her songs. Her last album was in 2006; Here's hoping there'll be another one in 2010.

8. Pink Floyd - 358
I have finally come to terms with the fact that I only like 70's Pink Floyd. I gave up trying to like their psychedelic stuff from the 60's and I've always been lukewarm about their glossy cinematic rock from the 80's. I used to own their entire catalog but now I'm selling everything pre-Meddle and postThe Wall to free up some space on my CD shelf. Still, I like the stuff from the 70's so much that I don't expect them to drop out of this top-10 list next year.

9. Metallica - 355
After all these years, still one of my favorites. Death Magnetic was a good comeback album after the underrated but ultimately unsuccessful experiment that was St. Anger. And though it came out in 2008, I listened to it pretty heavily throughout most of this year. Who knows when they'll get around to recording another album! In the meantime there's a lot of good stuff in their back catalog to keep me satisfied. Maybe I'll revisit Ride The Lightning sometime in 2010.

10. Iron Maiden - 351
Like Pink Floyd, I've come to accept the fact that I don't like Iron Maiden as much as I once did. With the exception of Brave New World and a few scattered tracks, I think most of their post-Powerslave output is pretty weak. Also like Pink Floyd, I'll probably start selling some of their CDs to make room on my shelf.
