Another year has come and is almost gone. With that sentiment, here are my top albums, EPs and concerts of the year. This was easily the most difficult end-of-year list I've made because there are still many albums from 2009 that I need to pick up.XX Merge as a whole was obviously the overall concert experience of the year, but it's really hard to compete with a massive concert in a park by a Beatle playing so many classic songs that I've held on high for so many years. So Paul gets the top spot.
Check out my full list below and feel free to criticize or compliment as you see fit.
