Be aware: some albums contain colorful language. By the way, none of my album comments should be taken in a negative way. If you are interested you can check out my previous lists: Best Albums of 2007, Best Albums of 2008. Discovery of and discussion about art is a worthy exercise. I also hope you will comment on your favorites, offer links to your lists or tell me what you think of mine. I just want to spread my enjoyment of music onto you and so I'll give ranking art my best shot. They are better at different times for different reasons. My least favorite part is trying to say one album is better than another. My favorite part is getting to revisit some albums that get dusty from early in the year. It's always difficult to choose my favorite albums at the end of the year.
