My Favorite Albums of 2009
The annual favorite-albums-of-the-year post is always the most fun to work on. Not only does it lend itself to lots of discussion and arguments, but I always discover albums that I overlooked during the past year. I hate ranking albums, but have attempted to do so below. All of these are great and worth listening to. Special shout-out to Amy who set-up a Google Wave for a bunch of people to discuss their top albums of the year lists. This was the best use of Wave I have seen to this point and it was a lot of fun to see other people’s lists.
My favorite albums of 2009:
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
David Bazan - Curse Your Branches
Wye Oak - The Knot
Husband & Wife - Dark Dark Woods
Built to Spill - There is No Enemy
Manchester Orchestra - Mean Everything To Nothing
M. Ward - Hold Time
Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
So, there you have it. My favorite albums of 2009. Agree with some? Disagree with others? Leave a comment and let me know what albums I missed.
