Top 10 2009: More charts from the Walkers

2009 soon to be gone. And forgetten? Seems not, since other two Walkers has shown off their top listenings from this rich and chaotic year.  Which are the primary colours of the listenings of our reviewers? Here they come!  Seems like goths had their revenge at last rising the level of quality and pop humor on their music becoming even more kin on shoegaze and club anthems while folk and experimentation has possibly become the most recognisable mark of most of the top listenings that pretend to be labelled as fine and classy. Posh, possibly? Maybe. But singe a couple of year has passed I supposed that no one will easily laugh on The Horrors and Akron Family anymore.
