/Countdown/2009/Albums
Ok, so time for my roundup of the best albums of the year.
Category: /Countdown
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.
/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.

Last but one – those just outside the top twenty.

/Countdown/1990s/Tracks /180-161
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.
/Countdown/2000s/Albums /25-01
So today marks the last part of my rundown of the decade’s music. Next week will be the usual rundown of the month’s best tracks, and then I’ll be starting at some point after that with a rundown of the 90s in a similar style – after all, this autumn marks twenty years since I […]
/Countdown/2000s/Albums /50-26
Following on from the rundown of my top 100 tracks of the decade, it’s now time for my top fifty albums of the decade, which starts today and will be concluded next week (I wanted this done by Whitby and the end of the month).
/Countdown/2000s/Tracks /20-01
While for me the past decade hasn’t been the revelation musically that the 90s were, there was still some amazing material. And here are the top twenty songs of the decade, according to me.
/Countdown/2000s/Tracks /40-21
The penultimate part of my 2000s tracks rundown. Next week will be the usual rundown of the month’s best tracks, and then I’ll be starting at some point after that with a rundown of the 90s in a similar style – after all, this autumn marks twenty years since I first got into/was exposed to […]
/Countdown/2000s/Tracks /60-41
Continuing from last week, it’s time to move onto the third stage of my rundown of the last decade. Also, as this autumn marks twenty years of my being “into” alternative music, after this decade’s rundown there will be a similar one to follow for the 90s (for which the “draft” list we pulled together […]
/Countdown/2000s/Tracks /80-61
Further to last week, it’s time to move on to the next stage of my rundown of the last decade.
/Countdown/2000s/Tracks /100-81
I mentioned this last week, and here is where I get started.
/Countdown/2008/Gigs
So, for the last part of my run-down of my 2008 musical highlights, here are my top ten gigs of the year. When compiling the list, I realised I haven’t actually been to anywhere near as many gigs as I thought I had been this year. Still, only two (Ladytron and Ministry, since you ask) […]
