SPIN'S 20 GREATEST ALBUMS OF 2009 ... SO FAR

Below is Spin's top 20 record of '09 (thus far). Its quite the conundrum considering they've left off some obviously good records of '09. Not to mention, we still have five months left to the year. Makes one wonder what Spin's true intentions were for doing this so early. Perhaps they wanted people to see just how irrelevant they truly are. I'm actually surprised Dave Matthews didn't make it on the list personally.
