Mick's Top Tracks of 2009

This list is very subjective and in no particular order, feel free to disagree....



Biffy Clyro - Bubbles featuring Josh Homme on guitar, another masterpiece from the Biffy, taken for my album of the year “Only Revolutions”. 


Jay Z featuring Alicia Keys – Empire State Of Mind - In my humble opinion this is best thing Jay Z has done musically since “99 Problems”. This is the “New York, New York” of the 21st century. 


Taio Cruz - Break your Heart. This is the debut number one from renowned producer and songwriter Taio Cruz and it is very catchy and warns of his prowess as a heartbreaker


Sheryl Cole - Fight for this love - This girl’s voice seems to be lost in Girls Aloud and she has a good voice albeit a mid Atlantic drawl. This is my guilty pleasure of 2009, an utterly poptastic moment.


The Cribs - Cheat on me - Lead track from their fourth album.  First to feature ex Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr. It is a killer tune combining the usual energy of the Cribs with some bitter twisted lyrics, fantastic.


Out of the blue - Julian Casablancas - Strokes front man first solo outing and it is brilliant- synth driven guitar pop with more than a touch of the Strokes in it.


Listen Dear – The Coronas - I must admit I am not really a fan, but this is great, a driven pop rock tune with the distinctive vocals of Danny O Reilly. 

Cornerstone - Arctic Monkeys. I love this track, the best thing off their third album. It has a real Scott Walker feel to it and is nearer musically to singer Alex’s side project The Last Shadow Puppets than the Arctic Monkeys.


Working on a Dream - Bruce Springsteen. The only thing that needs to be said here is that the Boss has still got it.


Meet Me on The Equinox – Death Cab for Cutie. Taken from the second Twilight movie, this dark romantic number is a must for any modern song collection


Save the world, get the girl- King Blues. This is a song of real hope with a nice reggae ska beat; it’s exactly what it says on the tin.


Last of the English Roses - Peter Doherty - great single from the much maligned Peter Doherty, ignore the tabloids, listen to the music.


‘59 Sound - The Gaslight Anthem Heartfelt New Jersey punk rock, both a coming of age song and a tribute to the Ray Charles album of the same name.


Whole new way- The Horrors. There had been so much hype about this band who are finally delivering the goods. It’s got a real ‘80s feel to it but is definitely more Sisters of Mercy than a Flock of Seagulls.
