This years list has to work without any special order - so I choose the alphabet.
Also this year was focused on songs for me. As a lot of those are not included on the best albums, they need a special list.
The best songs from 2009
Vic Chesnutt - Coward
Swan Lake - Spanish Gold, 2044
must have been tokyo - Streetkids
Bat For Lashes - Glass
Elvis Perkins In Dearland - Shampoo
Ghost Of Tom Joad - Into The Wild
Noisettes - Every Now And Then
Major Lazer - Hold The Line
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Kisses Over Babylon
Frank Turner - The Road
Ja, Panik - Pardon
Bruce Springsteen - Outlaw Pete
And here they are: The best albums from 2009.
Alberta Cross - Broken Side Of Time
Brings back memories of the 80s when I was listening to Green on Red, The Dream Syndicate, Giant Sand and all those Arizona Bands.

Antony and The Johnsons - The Crying Light
The one or two overwhelming songs are missing this time [like there were Cripple and the Starfish or Hope There's Someone on the last albums] but nevertheless these are big emotions.

Crippled Black Phoenix - The Resurrectionists / Night Raider
I would not have thought the second album to be that good. I was a bit afraid of what I might find, because I loved Crippled Black Phoenix - A Love Of Shared Disasters so much…

Do Make Say Think - Other Truths
Post Rock from the easy and sunny side - no drama at all.

Ghost Of Tom Joad - Matterhorn
Got the most listenings this year.

Heavy - The House That Dirt Built
The first half of this album is so great, that the seond half is really struggling.

Ja, Panik - The Angst And The Money
Only german singing band with heavy rotations this year.

Metric - Fantasies
Pop Pop Pop - shut up all you "bäh…I liked them more when they were ni mainstream pop"-shouters. This is great Pop!

Mono - Hymn To The Immortal Wind
Drama, baby. Drama! Majestic music.

Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band - Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band
The ideas on this album could have made up five or more albums. I am curious if they still have some ideas or if they are empty now.

Polly Scattergood - Polly Scattergood
Pop Pop Pop .

Sounds Like Violence - The Devil On Noble Street
To like this album, I had to forget about what they had done in the past. Imagine this is their debut - then you can see the greatness.

Veils - Sun Gangs
Different stiles that fit perfectly together.
