Top 100 of '09

This was hard. After a lot of whittling down and changing around, these are my top 100 albums of 2009. There are some albums I really enjoyed that didn't make the cut and a couple (New efforts from 30 Seconds to Mars and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones) that I haven't heard yet (They come out the 8th), but these are the 100 albums I personally enjoyed the most this year. Cue the unfounded hate.
