Love 'em or hate 'em, lists are good cannon fodder. I also think a good way to kick off this blog is with a music post to help you get to know my tastes a little bit. So with that, I present to you my 15 favorite albums of 2009. I didn't really have any criteria for creating this list except to rule out EPs (sorry Lady GaGa! "The Fame Monster" was awesome, though.). In general these albums had a huge impact on me in some way and garnered repeated listens. And since I'm not a professional music critic or blogger who gets free stuff, I have not heard every single album that came out in 2009. One final caveat before we get down and dirty: you won't find Animal Collective or Silversun Pickups on this list. I just don't like them. Sorry.
