Top 50 Songs of 2009 [#10-1]

I haven’t posted much lately, but such is the holiday season.  Here are the final ten songs, and thank goodness I don’t have to do this again.  What a silly way to document our subjective impressions of music!  Is #7 really better than #10 or even #20?  Of course not.  While I appreciate the fun factor, I regret having made a generic top 50 list.  Next year, I’ll instead make multiple (and smaller), targeted lists…like, Favorite 2010 Songs To Tame One’s Rage After Stepping On Cat’s Puddle of Warm Vomit.

So in no particular order here are the ten songs that I listened to most while making the Top 50 list.  (I could have easily substituted at least three of the songs with another from their respective albums.)

Fables, The Dodos (from Time To Die – Buy Here).

Dominos, The Big Pink (from A Brief History of Love – Buy Here).

Set Sail Tomorrow, Montt Mardié (from Clocks/Pretender – Buy Here).

Lisztomania, Phoenix (from Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix – Buy Here).

French Navy, Camera Obscura (from My Maudlin Career – Buy Here).

Two Weeks, Grizzly Bear (from Veckatimest – Buy Here).

No Intention, Dirty Projectors (from Bitte Orca – Buy Here).

So Far Around The Bend, The National (from Dark Was The Night Compilation – Buy Here).

Blood Bank, Bon Iver (from Blood Bank EP – Buy Here).

Laundry Room, The Avett Brothers (from I And Love And You – Buy Here).
