Top 12 Tracks of '09*

*I had all intentions of making this the Top 10 Songs of 2009, but I had hell of a time whittling down this list to 10, so it stays at 12. Kind of.

1. What Would I Want, Sky? – Animal Collective


2. 1901 – Phoenix


3. Brother Sport – Animal Collective/ My Girls – Animal Collective (grouped as one entry because I love them both and wanted them both in the top 10)


4. Feel It All Around – Washed Out


5. Ambling Alp - Yeasayer


6. Dominos – The Big Pink


7. Crystalised – The xx / Islands – The xx (also grouped as one entry because I love them both and wanted them both in the top 10)


8. 11th Dimension - Julian Casablancas


9. Young Hearts Spark Fire – Japandroids


10. Should Have Taken Acid With You - Neon Indian


11. When I Grow Up – Fever Ray


12. Psychic City – YACHT (also check out Classixx's remix right here)

**There are actually 14 tracks on the list. (Yet again, I had a really hard time whittling down).***
***What the hell, I should have just done the top 15. Too late now.
