For the past 6 or 7 years I’ve been burning a CD with some of my favorite artists/songs that came out that year. Rather than shoot for a certain number, my rule is that all the songs must fit on a single CD. Now that CDs are pretty much obsolete, that rule is a little silly, but I still like the challenge it poses, so I’ve stuck with it.
An interesting side note here - After completing my list I noticed that 10 of the 21 songs were the 2nd song on their respective albums. I don’t know what to make of that but it’s interesting none-the-less.
So… here are the songs on my “Best of 2009″ CD. They are listed in the same order as on the CD which is more of a mix-tape style and not necessarily “best to worst”.
Also - check out my 2008 and 2007 lists.
