It’s hard to believe another year is gone. It’s even harder to look back on the music that caught my attention in 2009 and narrow it down to a top ten. It was much, much harder than I imagined it would be this year. There was a lot of really great music that came out. </p>
After sleeping on the list and changing it, sleeping some more, and changing some more, I finally have a list to present to you in no particular order that I’m somewhat comfortable with. I’d like to add that every year I create a list I wish I could redo and update the almost immediately after posting but I digress. </p>
