G's Top 9 albums of 2009
I can’t believe the year 2009 is almost over. December marks the time to look back on the high and low lights of the year we are about to finish.
2009 was a pretty lackluster year for music and it seems that each year gets worse, but never fear – I was still able to come up with my favorite 9 albums of 2009. I’ll take them row by row as pictured above. Read my thoughts after the jump.

Elly Jackson of LaRoux
Making their New York debut last night, October 27, 2009, British group LaRoux, played a sold out show at Manhattan’s Highline Ballroom. Musically, they have elements of early Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Human League and lead singer Elly Jackson’s voice is reminiscent of Tracey Thorn from Everything But The Girl.
Elly Jackson was recovering from a virus, so she apologized numerous times for performing such a short set, but she assured the crowd they’d be back in February. Still, when LaRoux played hits such as “Quicksand,” “In For The Kill,” and “Bulletproof,” the crowd sang along to every word. I personally think this band is going to be hugely successful and seeing them in a venue as small as the Highline Ballroom last night will definitely be one for the books.
A fun fact about the group: LaRoux is French for “Redhead”
Elly Jackson: Going in for the kill.
