Best Music 2009 lists coming in

This is the time of the year when all the 'best music of the year' lists start appearing. Sometimes I've actually heard what's listed, but oftentimes it's all new to me. That's why I love how great these lists have become - streams, videos, links and pics. Everything you need to know about the faces behind the songs. Best of the Year. Best of the Decade. Best of YOUR LIFE.

Tonight, I've found the following high points of music lists:

- Popmatters starts the week off with its list of 50 best indie pop SINGLES for the year. Animal Collective's 'My Girls' takes Popmatters #1 slot. Great vocals. Discuss other attributes amongst yourselves.

Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion LP also takes top honors for best LP of the year at Clash Music.

- Here's a link for the "Best Underrated Post Punk albums of the Decade". Daring.

- Pitchfork will probably get it its best music list together this week or next, but you can probably get a feel for thieir eventual winners from their new LPs reviews right here. For right now, you get its best(?) news of the year.

- And again, as he has done every year for as long as I can recall, Largehearted Boy aggregates (and updates!) all the end-year Best music lists into a handy post with links.

Know of any others? Leave 'em in the comments.
