Sorry for the delay, but I'm supposed to be on vacation & relaxing. haha. Same as always these should be viewed as in no particular order. Minutes, days, weeks after I post this I realize I've missed something great, but here it goes anyway. I hope you find it to be of interest. This list does not represent what was popular in terms of sales at X-Ray (even though many were), simply what I listened to a lot in 2009. Comments welcome & I'd be happy to see your list if you made one.
