I dunno what's been going on during 2009, but the list of great records coming out this year has been nothing but gargantuan compared to previous years. Maybe I've just been listening to more records than usual. Trying to make a list of the best albums of the year turned into a nightmare.
At first I was just gonna do a concise top 10 like I did in 2007 , but that soon proved impossible. A top 25 like last year also proved difficult, as I came up with over a hundred records good enough to include. A hundred! Never happened before.
And I'm sure there are still albums that slipped my mind, for which I apologise in advance. Eventually ....
