Good list. Only Gorillaz and Wheatus are truly awful. Pretty strong year overall?

I'd be happy to listen to all of these, I think! I'd prefer a greater mix of artists but Missy, DC and things ending in 'xx' really did seem to dominate this year.

I've just been listening to The xx, so perhaps it's making its retro comeback in 2009?
