Nice to see a little prog get a mention. I saw Porcupine Tree play The Incident last Friday - great album from the genius that is Steven Wilson.

Re: Your top 5 albums 2009...

In no particular order:

By a Thread - Gov't Mule
Ballad of John Henry - Joe Bonamassa
Chickenfoot - Chickenfoot
Blackberry Smoke - Little Piece of Dixie
Lynyrd Skynyrd - God & Guns
Wes Jeans - Live at Music City Texas

I know that's 6 not 5 but was a great year for music and tough enough to get it down to that 6.

When I was a child I spoke as a child, But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
Now growing up it ain't anything but all This indecision with these debts and doubts
And worries hanging over my head. When I was a child I spoke as a child,
I wish I could remember what I said.
