Top 40 Albums of All-Time for 2009

Every year, I make a list of the 40 albums I think are the best. Surprisingly, the list changes quite a bit. I like to do the list because I like to see how things change each time. This is my list for 2009.
Next to each entry is a number. If it is a subtraction and a number, that is how many spots the entry has moved down the list. If it is a plus sign and a number, that is how many numbers the entry has moved up the list. If there is no number, the entry has stayed in the same place. If there is a N/A sign, the entry was not on the list last year. The name of the album is first followed by the name of the band. So without further ado...

39. In Utero-Nirvana -1

I was surprised you had Abbey Road on there, but then again, it's a great album.
