In order to prove to friends and family that rock is in fact alive and well, my uncle curates a yearly mix of the best songs of the year. Inspired by his original tradition, I present to you a very biased, selective, yet all around awesome mix of the best songs of 2009. No repeated albums, no repeated artists, no particular order. Enjoy.

Hi,
I happy to land here. It is a great forum
Because this list was compiled to prove that Rock and Roll is alive and well I left Pretty Lights off even though they had a stellar year on the festival circuit and with the release of their new CD because while they are an amazing musical act I wouldn’t consider them Rock and Roll.
where’s pretty lights at? they were bad ass all year
