Scott's Favorite Albums of 2009
I will preface this post with the traditional disclaimer: by no means is this list attempting to be an objective collection of the year's best music; it is simply the albums that I enjoyed the most over the last twelve months. Brandon's list should be coming soon too.
2009 was a great year for music. The top three albums on my list are not original; you can count on seeing them near the top of many lists this month. So I would kindly refer you to the rest of my list, which I hope is an unique contribution to the blogosphere discourse.
