Amazon.com’s Best Albums Of the Year: Somnabulist Neko Case??
Here is Amazons somewhat early best albums of 2009. I can see this being one persons personal list but I can’t see it being an overview by any stretch of the imagination. No Black Eyed Peas? No Kid Cudi? No Spider Bags? I think all three of those will be in my top ten to start with. Indeed the only albums on their Top Ten that might make mine is Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs and the Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. Most overrated? Animal Collective. Worst favorite? Jay-Z
