End Of Year Poll 2009 Results

BEST ALBUM OF 2009
1. Joe Bonamassa - The Ballad Of John Henry
In a year of great albums this one really did stand out. From the opening refrain of the opening track to the final languid outro, John Henry is Joe Bonamassa's crowning glory. Its melting pot of contemporary blues, soul, and rock combined to such stunning effect that it is one of those rare records that you could happily, and without irony, describe as timeless. 17% of you voted this your favourite album of the year.

2. Lynyrd Skynyrd - God & Guns
3. Chickenfoot - Chickenfoot
4. Heaven & Hell - The Devil You Know
5. Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures

BACK WITH A BANG IN 2009
1. Lynyrd Skynyrd
Skynyrd haven't ventured this way in recent years, so when they played a sold out handful of dates and THEN had the audacity to release a fantastic new album we were a little shocked to say the least. The band have successfully reinvented themselves as a truly great modern rock band without needing to rest on their laurels. A third of you agreed that Skynyrd deserved the Comeback Of The Year award.

2. ZZ Top
3. KISS
4. Mott The Hoople
5. Europe

I personally other than 'Pronounced' only own 1 other album on that list Rainbow at number 29..still least we know what really is number one!!!

I keep having this recurring dream...every night.....night after night,after night...

Lynyrd Skynyrd appearing at "Download" in England.

Lynyrd Skynyrd are an incredibly important Rock band to me,and many Rock fans in the U.K.Just wish one day my dream will come true to see all the guys there.

Otherwise it's only a dream....but a bloody good one at that....but without dreams we have no hope...and I hope one day it will happen.

The whole album God & Guns is absolutely beyond words...superb doesn't even begin to do it justice!!!

But..."Gifted Hands"is an amazing tribute to Billy Powell an incredibly powerful song ...exquisite in fact.Very moving indeed[tears a plenty over this side of the pond...a powerhouse of emotion],think Billy would be immensely proud of the whole record and especially you guys & your tribute to him.

Well done to all concerned..You guys Rock forever!!!

Brilliant album.
