Hottest 100 of 2009. Your shortlist?

It's such a long year and I always forget about the songs earlier in the year by the time voting comes around. I really should make a playlist on iTunes from January, I always attest to it, but it never happens. So, I'm making sure I take a squizz at all of your shortlists before I cast my votes, to make an INFORMED decision. I've only had my laptop since about June, so I only have songs from then, plus a few albums I uploaded.

My shortlist:

Animal Collective - My Girls
Animal Collective - Summertime Clothes
Animal Collective - Brother Sport
Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars
Bat For Lashes - Daniel
Dappled Cities - The Price
Dappled Cities - The Night Is Young At Heart
The Decemberists - The Rake's Song
Decoder Ring - Let A Thousand Flowers Bloom
Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks
Grizzly Bear - While You Wait For The Others
Howling Bells - Digital Hearts
Josh Pyke - You Don't Scare Me
Kasabian - Fire
Leader Cheetah - Fly, Golden Arrow Pt 1
The Middle East - Blood
Phoenix - Lisztomania
Phoenix - 1901
Red Riders - Ordinary
Royksopp - The Girl & The Robot
Royksopp - Happy Up Here
Sarah Blasko - Sleeper Awake
Tame Impala - Sundown Syndrome
Umpire - Streamers

I just know I'm gonna end up with enough songs to make my own Hottest 100, but I know of some I will cut already but anyway.

I think this too. Most of my favourite albums I really loved all the tracks and there wasn't as many stand alone tracks. Definitly a good thing though.

My votes in alphabetical order:
Daniel Merriweather - Change (Ft. Wale)
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home
Florence & The Machine - Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)
Jamie T - Earth, Wind & Fire
The Maccabees - Love You Better
Metric - Gold Guns & Girls
Passion Pit - Little Secrets
Red Riders - Ordinary
Sarah Blasko - No Turning Back
The Vasco Era - For No One

I had to include some songs I loved at the start of the year, but really hoping Florence has a song in the top 5. I could've used six of my votes just on them. Also wanted to add some Whitley, but no space, and Bertie Blackman's Like A Version song, but wasn't on the list so figured it would be a wasted vote.

Wish JJJ had've given more airplay to the new Editors album this year, as it's not going to do well since no-one's heard it!

Fever Ray - If I Had A Heart,
Fever Ray - When I Grow Up,
Florence + the Machine - Dog Days Are Over,
Florence + the Machine - Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up),
Lisa Mitchell - Romeo & Juliet (Like A Version),
Metric - Help I'm Alive,
Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Man,
Passion Pit - Little Secrets,
Peaches - I Feel Cream,
The XX - Islands
