So i wanted to see where my measly top 10 stacked up against a 'super site' like Pitchfork and what i found was that they had compiled an Ubermensch of a list, "Top 100 songs of 2009". I nearly crapped myself. i worked my way through the list and realized that i had actually attempted the impossible because i couldn't even comprehend just how many amazing songs came out this year. Sure, i could have had an honourable mentions list going on for 3 pages but then that would defeat the purpose of a Top Ten. Bands like Phoenix with "1901" and "lystomania", Bon Iver' "Blood Bank", or my biggest blunder Matt & Kim's "daylight" which in my mind is hands down winner for 2009, which i completely forgot to mention in my list! But i think that my list is still pretty spot on, with the exception of Daylight, and maybe some others that have slipped my mind.
I was a little disappointed with their Top Ten actually, it had both Phoenix songs i previously mentioned, and My girls by Animal collective as #1. Phoenix is great, and so is Animal collective, but all i have to say to that is NO, wrong, disagree, incorrect. With that being said, I wont go into further depth as to why i disagree but i will say that my Top Ten is better than yours! nah nah nah. Also Im going to continue sifting through your list, and if i find out Cave Singers is not on your list, i will write an angry letter.
New song, #100 on their list. Darkstar - Aidy's Girl's A Computer
