Best of 2009 - ZH version

I'm going with 5 this year. The caveat to any list and this one in particular is that there is no possible way for me to have listened to every album that qualifies. This is one man's opinion based on one man's particular exposures and preferences. Of the music I did listen to, these 5 stand out above the rest. I also agree with Wilbs that lists like these are somewhat trivial, but they're also kind of fun and are certainly intended to be taken with a grain of salt. There are several other albums that deserve mention, including but not limited to those from Cymbals Eat Guitars, The xx, Kyp Malone, Ramona Falls, Japandroids, Harlem Shakes, Flaming Lips, Fiery Furnaces, Devendra Banhart, The Cave Singers, The Dead Weather, Dan Auerbach, White Rabbits, Peter, Bjorn & John, Bonnie Prince Billy, The Avett Brothers, Andrew Bird, Animal Collective, AIR, Yeah Yeah Yeah's, St. Vincent, Radio Moscow, Wilco and even Pearl Jam.

5. The Decemberists - Hazard of Love
4. Sunset Rubdown - Dragonslayer
3. William Elliott Whitmore - Animals in the Dark
2. Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca
1. Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
