Set apart this dream for me...

The year and the decade is over, and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for me to review both in music. 2009 was a great year for music, and there are so many releases that captured my attention, both expected and unexpected. The past decade has been defined by music in my mind, seeing as all of the music, concerts, and artists that I love I discovered in the last ten years. This is gonna be a long one, please be prepared.
