Top 10 Albums of 2009

Hi all,
Hope that Christmas and New Year's was as great for you and your families as it was for mine.

Time to take care of a little annual business. Each year, I look ahead to some exciting album possibilities and then in a little bit of fun, I rank what I think will be the best the year has to offer.

During the year, I usually find that several of my top ten don't even make the final cut and a few that I didn't think would be any good usually surprise me.

With that being said, I'll get to today's post on my top ten albums of 2009, but if you haven't read my predictions, this blog post won't make much sense. So take a minute and refresh your memories with the list I created back at the beginning of 2009.

Done with that?

Good, let's get to the results.
