It is difficult to recap the many songs/records/videos/performers that have made an impact on you in a given year. But, I've given it some thought and compiled a list of my personal - very subjective - top ten albums of 2009. These albums are not ranked. They are ordered alphabetically, which seemed the most democratic way to list them. (Although, in a way, every new Bill Callahan album will be my favorite album of the year.) I limited myself to "new" music released in 2009. So, this list doesn't include such recently released live recordings as James Brown's
Live at the Garden or Leonard Cohen's
Live at the Isle of Wight, 1970. Both of which are incredible, by the way. Feel free to comment or list some of your own favorites!
