Top Albums of 2009

It's always hard to go back and try to find the albums that stand out to you. Like any other top album list, this is just from my perspective, and would love to hear what albums you enjoyed this year. As far as my lists are concerned, I have just used albums that have come out this year. I have tried to split it up to give you a broader range of what I've been listening too (Maybe too much?). First ten cover all genres, and the second ten are my post rock instrumental picks.
