Well here are my top ten albums of the year. If you know me at all you will probably find my top five pretty predictable, but I’m fine with that. In retrospect I would say 2009 was a great year for music. Now it’s time to look ahead to 2010 and hope that it’s just as good, maybe even better. View Entries 10 – 1 after the jump… 10.

Here are my top 40 albums of 2009 collected into one post rather than spread across three. For what it’s worth I already have a bad case of list regret. In retrospect I would have placed the Real Estate album much higher, possibly top 10 even. I’ve been listening to it a lot lately and it really is gorgeous. Anyways, what’s done is done. …read more
