last.fm 2009 roundup
Friday, January 1, 2010 »
Here are the top songs I was listening to last year, according to last.fm, iTunes, and my own memory, which alternates between being more and less reliable than the previous two sources:
- Ain't No Rest for the Wicked - Cage the Elephant, Cage the Elephant
- 'Cross the Green Mountain - Bob Dylan, Tell Tale Signs
- Dancing the Manta Ray - Pixies, Doolittle Live
- La Femme Chinoise - Yellow Magic Orchestra, Yellow Magic Orchestra
- Heaven and Hell - The Who, Live at Leeds
- Heroin - The Velvet Underground, The Velvet Underground and Nico
- I Can't Explain - The Who, The Ultimate Collection
- I'm a Pilot - Fanfarlo, Reservoir
- My Patch - Jim Noir, Tower of Love
- Sea and Sand - The Who, Quadrophenia
- Sphinx - Tomoyasu Hotei, Guitarhythm II
- U・T - Yellow Magic Orchestra, BGM
I didn't listen to a whole lot of new music last year. I did pick up a lot of Who albums though, and the release of the Guitarhythm box set allowed me to round out my early Hotei library. Consequently, they both dominate my top albums list:
- 13 - Blur
- Chill'em All - Champion
- Guitarhythm II - Tomoyasu Hotei
- Guitarhythm III - Tomoyasu Hotei
- Guitarhythm IV - Tomoyasu Hotei
- Gunstar Heroes Sound Collection - Norio Hanzawa
- King & Queen - Tomoyasu Hotei
- Live at Leeds - The Who
- Oh Mercy - Bob Dylan
- Quadrophenia - The Who
- Reservoir - Fanfarlo
- Mirror's Edge - Solar Fields
- Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol. 8 - Bob Dylan
- The Ultimate Collection - The Who
- The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground
- Yellow Magic Orchestra - Yellow Magic Orchestra
Here's to more new music (and good, old music) in 2010!
