A good year for music, so here’s twenty albums I think were great this year.

Each November into December, amodelofcontrol runs down the best music of the year. In addition, amodelofcontrol.com has looked at the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s in our music.
The title of this section comes from a track by Pulp, from their album Separations.

There has been so much good music this year – as well as a few stinkers, frankly, but let’s not dwell on those, at least for now – that for the first time ever in a year roundup I’ve stretched this one out to cover 25 songs, and I’ve still had to miss a couple […]
/Countdown/1990s/Albums /20-01
So after a couple of weeks of work, here are my top twenty albums of the 90s. There is again a Spotify playlist accompaniment to it, which is this time missing four entries, which with it being the top twenty is a little frustrating…
/Countdown/1990s/Albums /40-21
Onto part four of my 90s album run-down. There is again a Spotify playlist accompaniment to it, which is again only missing a couple of entries.
/Countdown/1990s/Albums /60-41
Onto part three of my 90s album run-down. There is again a Spotify playlist accompaniment to it, which is only missing a couple of entries (it's remarkable how much is now on Spotify, actually!).
/Countdown/1990s/Albums /80-61
Following on from Tuesday, here's part two of my 90s albums rundown. This is fun, even if a little time consuming – and it's reminding me of songs I've not heard in a while, in some cases. As per Tuesday, there is a Spotify playlist accompaniment once again, with no omissions this time.

Back in the mists of time (in other words, back in 2009), I did a rundown of – according to me – the best songs and albums of the past decade, and then followed it up with similar treatment of the 90s. Although, I only ever got the best songs done.
/Countdown/2009/Gigs
Today’s Tuesday Ten is slightly different to the norm. Mainly because I’ve not been to that many gigs this year, here are five of them worth mentioning.
/Countdown/2009/Albums
Ok, so time for my roundup of the best albums of the year.
/Countdown/2009/Tracks
So, before I rush headlong into my top ten tracks of 2009 (albums next week, gigs the week after), a quick mention of a few acts that have wowed me, bored me, surprised me or otherwise this year. Some of these may be in the other lists, others won’t be.

The end: the top twenty at last.
/Countdown/1990s/Tracks /40-21
Last but one – those just outside the top twenty.

Part two of the epic run-down, that took me an eternity to write.
/Countdown/1990s/Tracks /200-181
This was really meant to be a top 100, but when my girlfriend and I pulled together an initial “long list” a few weeks ago, that was way beyond 300 songs.
