As you may have noticed, I did not make a post at the end of the last year sharing the names of my favourite songs and albums of 2009.
I did purchase several CDs last year, but I got a lot of disappointments. There were a lot of albums that didn't stick with me and weren't memorable. The biggest disappointment to me was LIGHTS album The Listening. It was filled with auto-tune and filler. I've heard some of her unreleased material, and most of it is a lot better than what's on the album. With this album, she lost a bit of her charm to me. I purchased a ticket to see her on her supporting tour of the album before the album was released. I should've waited.
Some albums I did enjoy were The Fame Monster by Lady GaGa and Picture Imperfect by Shiloh. The Fame Monster made me rediscover my liking for Lady GaGa, especially the song "Speechless." Picture Imperfect contained some songs I could really relate to during the later part of last year, like "It's Not Me" and "Ruin Me".
There are also albums that I wish I had checked out like Fantasies by Metric, instead of albums like Exposed by Kristinia DeBarge.
A lot of awful music appeared last year, like TiK ToK by Ke$ha. Though from the moment I first heard it, I knew it would be a hit. It's kind of sad when you think about it, that the number one song in the country contains bizarre unintelligent lyrics like this one.
Since the radio is mostly filled with autotune these days, I have started to listen to 80's music instead. There's one radio station here that now considers 80's music oldies. This freaks me out because in 30 years "Fireflies" by Owl City is going to be considered oldies. DO NOT WANT NOW, AND DO NOT WANT THEN.
So, I want to know... What are your favourite 80's songs, and who are your least favourite artists/groups on the radio today?
