Well, it's that time again. Time to get opinionated and share my picks for the best albums of the past year. To be honest, I thought overall this year was little dry. I still find myself listening to a lot of stuff from last year with a few exceptions. Then again, maybe I was just more distracted and listening less. Either way, these first 4 albums are hands down GREAT and I've chosen to list them in order of enjoyment. After those I put a few albums that received quite of bit of playtime and were enjoyable in an honorable mention sort of way. Let me know if I missed any stellar works from 2009.
1. NEEDTOBREATHE- THE OUTSIDERS
2. JOHN MARK MCMILLAN - THE MEDICINE
3. PHOENIX - WOLFGANG AMADEUS PHOENIX
4. WILCO - WILCO (THE ALBUM)
