Top 25 Songs of 2009

For this list, I'm being a little lazy. No explanations, no descriptions, just a list with links. Oh, and when I do a top songs list, I only have artists represented once. Did I think "Summertime Clothes" from Animal Collective was a better song than, say, #21 or #24 on my list? Yeah, but if I did repeats, it'd be all The xx, Animal Collective and Fuck Buttons and that would be boring. So, now that you know the rules...
