2009 in Music

2009 was a weird year for music for me. I feel like a lot of the music I discovered this year didn't actually come out this year, so in telling you "the best music of 2009," I'm only giving you a fraction of the music I came to enjoy. In trying to come up with my Top Ten Albums for my school entertainment publication, I had a really tough time, simply because I listened to less than ten albums from 2009.

So, in that regard, I'm skipping writing my top albums here, and am instead presenting two separate Top Five Songs lists. The first is the top five songs of 2009, the second, the top five songs I loved this year that didn't actually come out this year.
