We’ve arrived at the big time, the top 20!
These are some of the best albums I’ve heard all year, obviously, but there’s also sometime special about albums 17-11. I really badly wanted them all to be in the top ten.
A bottleneck like that is an amazing thing.

We’re almost done now. Who will rule the top 20? Find out…next!
Here we go people. We have arrived. It’s the *DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUH* top 5 of 2009 according to A$l3^, as I’ve changed my name to. Continuing as I did yesterday, the embedded videos aren’t my favorite tracks from each album, but, they’re incredibly good in their own right. So, let’s get on with the show, I’ve padded this out long enough. !SDRAWNO
After much delaying and procrastinating, in the name of hearing as many albums from 2009 before the year’s end, I finally have a list of 20 albums that, in my world, are the best from 2009.
First up, some honorable mentions, in no particular order:
Wavves – Wavvves
Even if lead singer Nathan Williams is kind of a douchebag who fights with his own drummer while on Ecstasy and Valium onstage and insults his own crowd, Wavves still makes some fantastic surf rock-inspired lo-fi. For a good month this spring, this album was streaming through my headphones often.
Key Song: “So Bored”
An Ocean of Noise
