Here are my top 40 albums of 2009 collected into one post rather than spread across three.  For what it’s worth I already have a bad case of list regret.  In retrospect I would have placed the Real Estate album much higher, possibly top 10 even.  I’ve been listening to it a lot lately and it really is gorgeous.  Anyways, what’s done is done.  Enjoy.
