Cory G's Top 40 Songs of 2009

There's a part of me that thinks these year end lists are a little silly. Everybody does one and in general you end up seeing the same handful of songs on everybody's lists --only in a slightly different order. The massive increase in traffic, however, shows that people really do love these lists. But come on, in the end though you don't really care if I rank Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks" 4 slots higher than St. Vincent's "Marrow" or 8 slots below it. So here they are, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER, the top 40 songs that I liked the most this year.
