2009 recommendations please!

Dear poptimists,
I am going to stay with my folks for a few days, where I will be largely cut off from the outside world i.e. the internet, which is an excellent opportunity to catch up on albums from 2009 that I have not yet caught up with. So far I have heard a few things that people have been shouting quite loudly about e.g. Electrik Red, Blaqkout, Rick Ross for some reason, and Silversun Pickups. Hmm... apparently I have only been listening to Lex and Moggy's advice so far this year. Any suggestions welcome.... and if I was to try and listen to something by this Michael Jackson fellow we've been hearing a lot about, I assume Off the Wall is the place to start? Thank you in advance,
yours with an enquiring mind

I, on the other hand, keep endlessly returning to it! Mind this has as much to do with the CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT as anything else, but it also has some undeniable nagging quality that draws me back time and again. It's such a puzzle of an album, somehow.
