The year 2009 was a Musical Renaissance to yours truly after a bit of a drought in 2008. While the year was full of fantastical debuts (Girls, The xx, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Passion Pit, and much much more), it was the veterans that took away the top honors for my personal top 10 (maybe a bit of a cliche, but for those of you familiar with Yellow House and Rise Above would know that my top 2 definitely had something great in them to nurture and evolve). Lets hope that this Renaissance carries over to 2010. Already there are many highly anticipated album releases in 2010, 2 songs of which from my top 25 are from the Yeasayer and Beach House albums that are expecting release early 2010. Other anticipated releases from Joanna Newsom (from my hometown's conjoined twin of a city, Nevada City), Spoon, Hot Chip, The National, Panda Bear, LCD Soundsystem, and Of Montreal.
Enjoy the list folks:
