The Best Badass Music of 2009

The year of 2009 is almost over and it’s time for me to list some of my favorite songs that came out this year. I could never list all my favorites because there is just so much great stuff so I chose 25 songs from different genres that I think are just fantabulous. From Silversun Pickups to Metric and from Eels to Neko Case, this mixtape has some of the greatest songs of 2009.
