From what I can gather, different people like different things. When it comes to music, taste is entirely subjective. Which is to say it’s a matter of opinion, but I don’t really give a fuck about yours.
Anyway, after months of listening and re-listening I’ve managed to compile what I consider to be my own favourite tracks of 2009. From Dinosaur Jr to Dan Deacon to Jay-Z, we’ve got most palatable genres taken care of.
So without further ado, here is thesilencekid.com’s best music of 2009 in no particular order, and a convenient link to download the tracks.
