Top Ten Albums of 2009

1. The Decemberists, The Hazards of Love
2. DOOM, Born Like This
3. Grizzly Bear, Veckatimest
π Dinosaur Jr, Farm
4. Neko Case, Middle Cyclone
5. Dark Was The Night
6. Tom Waits, Glitter & Doom
6. Antony & The Johnsons, The Crying Light

8. Andrew Bird, Noble Beast
8.5. The Dead Weather, Horehound
9. Sunset Rubdown, Dragonslayer
10. St Vincent, Actor
And also: They Might Be Giants, Here Comes Science!

These are my thirteen picks for the Top Ten Best Albums of 2009. Eagle eyed readers may note that there are, in fact, fourteen albums here, but though Dark Was the Night is a double album, Glitter & Doom only counts as one.

Oh, and also really awesome is Art Brut vs Satan. But seriously, that's enough.
