Jimmy's Favorite Albums of 2009
2009 has produced a lot of awesome music. Much of it was over hyped which coincidental caused their fall from people’s ears has fast as it was bombarded. While everyone is starting to do their year-end-er lists of Best and Worsts I figured, for whatever it’s worth, I would present my favorite albums of 2009. I decided to not order them based on the fact I find it rather meaningless, rather I will add a pretty little ‘%’ next to which albums which I felt changed the way I listened to music.
