Just making a thread where people list their favorite albums of 2009.  Here is what I think:

1)Veckatimest (Grizzly Bear)
2)Manners (Passion Pit)
3)Merriweather Post Pavilion (Animal Collective)—also their EP “Fall Be Kind” is noteworthy.
4)Wooden Arms (Patrick Watson)
5)Noble Beast (Andrew Bird)

What say you?

In before perfunctory “Deggz you are gay” posts.

Honorable mentions:
