Top 20 Faves of 2009 [so far....]

So today marks the end of the first half of the year. Holy crap. Well so far, 2009 has been chock full of simply amazing tunes. And this is only the first half of it!!!

I actually started this playlist a week ago with the intention of only showcasing my top 10 faves. I made the list on my iTunes. 35 songs later....yea. It was hard. I finally got a chance to really narrow it down to 20. Which I think is a good number. I don't want to leave songs out. I already feel bad for cutting out 15 songs. Anyway...

To tell you the truth, a lot of these songs have been on many lists. Either from my own blog [this one] or other music blogs. But these songs deserve that kind of attention. Or else they wouldn't be on any top lists, right?

Enough blabbering. Here it is:
