It’s that time of year. The time of the Best Of list. In this week’s Top 5 Music Countdown, we’re revealing the best albums of 2009, IHHO (In Heather’s Humble Opinion), NATCH.

5. Miike Snow
“Miike Snow”

Swedish + existential & metaphysical lyrics. Gotta have my synths!

4. Fever Ray
“Fever Ray”

Creepy vocals + dense electronica = just like I like it.

3. The Dead Weather
“Horehound”

Electric rock and funky backbeats. No bias here. This album/collaboration is one of the best from this year.

2. The xx
“xx”

Minimal and sexy. Pretty much how I live, nutshelled.

1. Florence + the Machine
“Lungs”

Gothic vocals + gorgeous instrumentation. Florence (speaking about her music) says: “I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you’re being sucked down into the ocean and you can’t breathe.”

Happy New Year!!!

While you’re sewing your costume together or mixing up some eyeball punch for your monster bash (see what I did there?) rock out to my play list from beyond the grave! Let’s bypass the obvious spooky tunes like “Monster Mash”, “Ghostbusters” and “Thriller”, shall we? We like to be more original on this show. Enjoy!

5.  “Psycho Killer”
-Talking Heads

Psycho killers are most definitely scary. And evil. Qu’est-ce que c’est?

4.  “Devil Inside”
-INXS

Every single one of us has the devil inside. The devil is evil.

3.  “I Put a Spell On You”
-Screaming Jay Hawkins
I’ve always thought that Jay Hawk was possessed. The dirty work of witches. Witches are ugly. And evil.

2.  “Abracadabra”
-Steve MillerMagic is evil.

1.  “Somebody’s Watching Me”
-Rockwell Feat. Michael Jackson
Watching someone without them knowing it is unquestionably evil.
