The Loop : Top 25 Songs of 2009

And part two! This is my first time doing a "top songs" list, but there were so many GREAT songs on records that just barely didn't make the cut for my top 10, and it felt a shame not to recognize them. Unlike the huge geek out on my Top 10 albums list, I'm going to simply post videos for the songs because clearly, this music speaks for itself. This is really in no particular order, except of course #1 (serious jam of the year, dudes) Enjoy!

(Sorry about the crazy fonts in the middle. can't figure out why the HTML and I are fighting and I'm too tired to fix it. Just jam out.)
