Top 41 Songs of 2009

Welcome to my 2009 favorites list!  Every Monday for the next several weeks I will post a new list of favorites from the past year (yes, I know Spring 2010 is already here, just humor me and pretend this is a timely pursuit)  By the end of the next couple months you will know the pop culture touchstones for my life over the final 365 days of the zero nine.

Please remember these important facts when digesting:

- These are my favorites, not technically best ofs.  They are certainly the things I think are "best", but I do not pretend to separate my own life experience and world view from that decision.

- These are not recommendations.  Unless specifically mentioned I am not encouraging you to see or hear the items on these lists.  Use your own discretion on what you think is appropriate for you.

On to this week's list:
