Top 10 Albums of 2009

After finding so much good stuff in Audible Oddities Top 10 of 2009 list, I decided to put one together myself. I was halfway curious just to see what it was going to look like, and have posted so little here lately that it seems an apt way to get back to it. I’ve decided not to number them, it’s hard enough to limit the list to 10 11 let alone try to assert some hierarchy between releases which for most purposes probably shouldn’t even be listed together. And yes, I’ve HAPPILY paid for all of them, and continue to encourage everyone to own their taste. Support what supports you.
