SDM’s Top 40 Albums of 2009: 40-21
I feel confident that a mind blowing album deserving of a spot on this list isn’t going to be released in the next few weeks (I could be wrong and we will deal with that situation when it occurs). So without further ado here is the first half of our top albums of 2009. We will roll out the next couple of segments throughout the remainder of this week. Feel free to mock, bitch, praise or just discuss in the comments section.
