If I have to name just one, then it's definitely Boredoms... easy!
I was so excited to finally see them and yet they were even better than I had imagined.
After that it's more difficult, but both NNCK gigs I saw this year were great too for different reasons. Also saw Circle twice this year. I've yet to see them being less than awesome. Sonic Youth doing Daydream Nation 3 times in London was very good as well; especially the final show, but they were all great. Jazkamer in the full Metal Machine lineup was probably the most spectacular thing I saw this year. AMT & The Melting Paraiso UFO - finally got to see them. Shellac; always worth mentioning, because they only play this part of the world like once ever 3-5 years... so roll on 2010. Boris probably in the top 10 too.
Also Trad Gras och Stenar, Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet, Konono No1, The Ex playing a live soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange theater performance... lots of good stuff.
