I thoroughly enjoyed everything on here, and it took some effort to arrange them all in a specific order. Also, the order doesn't directly reflect my ratings in the other journal, as my opinion on albums change over time.

It's hard to believe that I actually listened to over 100 GOOD albums that were released in 2009. But yeah, I actually really like all of these.
Also, I obviously can't put this many albums in an EXACT order of how I like them. That would pretty much be impossible, but this is more or less how I would rank them. I sometimes add new albums to this list, if I listen to another really good 2009 release.
