My Top Ten Songs of 2009

A lot of mediocre music got put out this year, but also more than a few cuts that are absolutely sublime. Here's my shortlist:

10. Lady Gaga - Pokerface
9. Drake - Best I Ever Had
8. Taylor Swift - You Belong To Me
7. Delorean - Big Dipper (yes, it's better than Deli)
6. Kurupt & DJ Quick - 9X's out of 10
5. XV - Losing the Signal
4. Phoenix - 1901
3. Dragonette - Pick Up The Phone
2. Jay Electronica & Just Blaze - Exhibit C
1. Phoenix - Lisztomania

Honorable Mention:

Mike Posner's remake of Miami Horror's "Sometimes"
Finale - Issues
Diamond District - First Time
Drake, Ye, Lil' Wayne & Eminem - Forever (remix) [which would have made the top 10 if Weezy had skipped this one or showed up with a real verse]
