Far from the best list so far, but at least the Felice Brothers' Yonder is the Clock is on there. What an album. My number 1 and number 2 aren't though. I'm doing preliminary listing now. So my list should be coming some time in early December.

rediculously idiotic dinosaur thing kind of a list! Bruce Springsteen!Bob Dylan! Van Morrison!
what the fuck is the year we're having ?1976? thanks god Jimi Hendrix
and The Doors and Grateful Dead are not having new albums this year!
you british are unbelievable!Princes Of Bad Taste and Quee(r)ns of Stupidity..god fuck your bitch queen!
British grammar is not the easiest thing to get the hang of either.
Hello angry Anonymous man. Don't you mean Queen Bitch? Ah yes, '71 now that was a year, it all went wrong in '76....OK perhaps not, Desire and Station To Station for example, not to mention some punk stuff.
But really, was 2009 a classic year. Apart from resequencing the list a bit to reflect personal taste and adding St Vincent, King Creosote and Malcolm Middleton, it's all here for my liking....so calm yourself and make some positive suggestions we can all enjoy.
god already fucked the queen,junior.that's how you become queen in the first place...
anyway most of the albums on the list are new,so don't get yer panties in a twist.
there'll be plenty of trendy yankee lists to drool over by year's end ,not to worry.
Been let down by Uncut's selections the last few years - not sure if it is a lack of good content being produced or just old tastes getting older. Still can't complain too much about people who go to the hard work of compiling such lists - takes time I certainly wouldn't have. Another interesting list for those interested: http://pitchfork.com/lists/year-in-music/2009/
These anonymous debates always make me smile. Especially when the same person comments more than once. It gets damn confusing.
