Best Music of 2009!

Loving music takes energy, but it gives energy back. You have to sort through a lot of crap, and go out of your way to find songs that really resonate with you. But when you find them, they're priceless. Last year I wasn't listening to the kind of songs that make me want to scream them at the top of my lungs and I was super depressed and went through thousands of vacuous pop albums. At the beginning of the summer I started to get really into music again and found a bunch of bands that make me want to dance/sing/run/jump/cry/love life/be ridiculous. These are some of what I listened to in 2009:
