This has been a great year in music.
Personally, I've had some astonishing music related experiences this year.
Some were amazing, some orgasmic, some unbelievable, some fantastic.
With Chester French, Janelle Monae, Kanye and a slew of other artist releasing albums
next year, I'm sure 2009 will be teeming with talent.
I've compiled a list my favorite albums this year.
They are rank in order based on awesomeness.
The top ten are the best (of course).
