I fully expect Animal Collective to be at the top or near the top of most lists for 2009.
Now here's the part where I make what is likely to be an unpopular comment...
I don't like Animal Collective. I don't like Merriweather Post Pavillion (well, okay I like probably two songs from it), and I don't particularly like their previous work either. I've tried and really do want to like them but just don't "get it." I feel like I'd have to be high in order to actually enjoy it, and I just shouldn't need any assistance in actually enjoying music.
Thumbs up to the lists' inclusion of Neko Case, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, St. Vincent, Grizzly Bear, Bat For Lashes, Dead Weather, Phoenix, Girls, Tegan and Sara, Mos Def, and even Kiss (much better album than I could have expected from them) though.
EDIT: I believe that Under the Radar's Best of 2009 and Best of the Decade lists are supposed to be out on the 18th btw.
