Some of my 2009 favorite listens:

Maylene and the Sons of Disaster - III (grows on me with each listen)
Halestorm - Halestorm (guilty indulgence, but some of the songs are well written)
Dream Theater - Black Clouds and Silver Lining (well, really only the first track)
Megadeth - Endgame
God Forbid - Earthsblood
Bury Your Dead - It's Nothing Personal

Biggest disappointments of 2009:
Chevelle - Sci Fi Crimes (been there, done that like a bazillion times)
Killswitch Engage - Killswitch Engage (has it all been downhill since End of Heartache?)
Kelly Clarkson - All I Ever Wanted (man, her first album was great, what happened!?)

Strike Anywhere - Iron Front

I cannot stop listening to that album, I can't stop. It matches their previous album, Dead FM but with a more aggressive and diverse sound, yet remaining 100% true to their signature sound. They didn't compromise.

Killswitch Engage has been downhill since Alive Or Just Breathing, imho.

I thought end of heartache was pretty good, though they'd be hard pressed to come up with something as landmark as AOJB. and they haven't even come close lately

Constellations-ABR Liked this album a lot. not amazing but in the top 10 imo

Chickenfoot-Chickenfoot: GREAT album. really delivers it's like 80s VH mixed with the melody of Satch.

That Phoenix album is pretty great. I am glad to see them getting so popular instead of being "that band that had a song in Lost in Translation"

Mos Def's latest is pretty good.

When you call anything with harsh vocals "screamo", it makes as much sense as calling anything with distorted guitar "heavy metal".

I agree with the two posts above me...Mos Def and Phoenix put out great albums this year. I didn't think I'd be saying this, but after many repeat listens, I really think Japandroids Post Nothing is a contender. Maybe not THE best, but definitely among them.

For sure. I listened to it a lot when it first came out and then set it aside. A few months later, I discovered that I liked it just as much.

The new Mos Def is also pretty good.
