And the 4th and last part: favorite Albums in 2009!
I basically listed the 24 most loved albums (not according to my last.fm though). Most of them came out in 2009, some didn't. The list is in no particular order either, none of these lists are.
Also, note that this isn't necessarily my complete (favorite) artists lists. I often like a certain song of an artist but I don't buy and listen to the whole album.
