I have been debating on whether or not to post a ‘top’ albums for 2009 list, mostly due to the fact that I might indulge in posting a top albums of the decade which would require a good bit of time.
Over the past decade I have listened to 90% of the music I have ever listened to in my life. My musical pallet has sampled many a sound in that time.
This year I have also sampled a good amount of new music, some from bands I already enjoy and some from new bands that I have come to enjoy. Unfortunately some of the music I have come to love this year, was not necessarily released this year so I might just have to make that Albums of the Decade post after all.
Normally I would throw in some “key” songs for album reviews, but all of these albums are all good all the way through, so if you are going to give them a try, just go all the way. Go big or go home…
My top 5 picks are the albums that I listened to the most when I first heard them. They inspired me and played with my emotions more than the rest.
In no particular order:
