Oddly enough, three of my most played (and favourite) albums of 2009 were released prior to 2009. They slot into the top 5 as follows:
- The Hold Steady – Separation Sunday
- The Decemberists – The Hazards of Love
- Wilco – Wilco (The Album)
- British Sea Power – Do You Like Rock Music?
- The Hold Steady – Stay Positive
Nothing else from before 2009 got anywhere near the top 20 (American Demo by The Indelicates being the closest by some distance).
