For the past two years, I've compiled lists of my 500 favorite songs released that year. This will be the first year that I'm posting the list online and I hope to post future lists online. If you're interested in the 2008 list, feel free to email me at hinesy24@yahoo.com and I can send it to you.
While I realize that the end of August 2010 isn't really the freshest point in time to post the 500 best songs of 2009, there is a pretty good reason to wait until now. That reason? I didn't finish the damned list until a few weeks ago...
Putting this list together is a pretty complicated task. In 2009, I reviewed 852 albums (Best: Them Crooked Vultures; Worst: Lita Ford) and singled out over 5000 songs for consideration. Since I don't have a magazine staff worth of people pitching in to help, it takes awhile.
Since countdowns are more fun than top to bottom lists, I'll be starting at 500 and counting down to #1. I hope to post an update every day. Each update will have between 10-25 songs, depending on how much time I have for any given post. I'll include song title, artist, album / play list information for every song and comments on some songs.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments or by sending me an email at hinesy24@yahoo.com
