*For those of you who are STILL interested in more Twins wharblgarbling, head over to the Baseball Blog Jesus and keep updated there, that's what I do.
Alright, so we did it; six full days of Twins blogs out of the way. Now what? Is there anything else that matters? Well of course there is. Its nearing the end of both the year and the decade, meaning lists will be galore, and since I'm a sucker for lists, and put a meticulous amount of time and effort into making them, you can bet your ass there will be a few lists here--starting today!
So without further delay, here are the Top 25 Albums of 2009 (Yes I realize 2009 isn't over, but in the remote chance that something epic comes out in the next month and a half I will come back and edit this list). AlsoI have picked some of the highlights off of each of the individual albums, and linked to their respective YouTube videos. If you like the band, please support them and buy their album.
My overall thoughts on 2009's albums are that it was a fairly solid class of albums, unfortunately its not very deep, at least I didn't find it that way. After this list there really isn't many more albums that I enjoyed much. A few notables that didn't make the list: Drake-So Far Gone, Dave Matthews Band - Big Whiskey and the Gru Grux King, The Wave Pictures - If You Leave it Alone, ...Trail of Dead - The Century of Self, Brother Ali - Us and Metric - Fantasies. This isn't to say there aren't any other good albums out there from this year, its just that these are the ones that I've heard and enjoyed. If you have other suggestions, by all means please post them. I hope you find the list at least entertaining, and maybe (possibly) discover or re-discover a couple new great albums.
