This year I’m not going into why these were my favorite albums of the year. Some, like, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, could easily taken over the number one spot if I hadn’t gotten to them so late in the year. However, on last count I listened to well over 100 albums in 2009, and I know I missed some really great stuff….Never the less, this year was a great year in music and I’m very excited for what’s to come in 2010!
Happy New Year everyone.
