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

Dan Deacon - Bromst

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.
