2009 is behind us, which can only mean one thing: endless amounts of end-of-the-year-lists! Around this time of the year every respectable music website or blogger will produce his or her list of best albums, best singles, and whatnot. For example, have a look at the lists of Pitchfork, Paste, and Kindamuzik (Dutch). Having compiled my list for the Vera poll, it's a small effort to also put it here. So here are my two cents for 2009:
