The Best of 2009 - our reviewers' choice!

We've been canvassing our reviewers for the past few weeks for their annual "Best Of" selections and the results are in!

STRAY Valhalla is rated the Top Album.

Features Editor Pete Feenstra enthused: "This is hard rock at its best, with Del's searing guitar cutting through the best tracks like ''Free At Last', 'Harry Farr', '1600 Pennsylvania Avenue', go and buy it, it's his best ever!"

Close runners up were CHICKENFOOT and their debut release, and the latest from DREAM THEATER

The top live act was deemed to be CHICKENFOOT and their spectacular London gig in June with SAXON and EUROPE close on their tails.

More information in our dedicated feature and David Randall features a selection of our reviewers' favourites in his end of year show on our dedicated radio channel (Sunday 27 December, 22:00)
