The Music Ninja’s TOP 101 Songs Blogged in 2009

top 2009 songs the music ninja The Music Ninjas TOP 101 Songs Blogged in 2009


HAPPY NEW YEARS!! We are not going to tease you slowly giving you 10 songs a week until we reach 101. It may be overwhelming but we believe in not holding back and giving you everything at once! The only thing we ask in return is that you share this list with all your friends (on Facebook and twitter) and bookmark it (Ctrl + D or Delicious) for later viewing!

In short, this list represents The Music Ninja in its entirety. It contains most of our favorite songs that we blogged in 2009. PLEASE DO NOT THINK ALL THESE SONGS ARE FROM 2009. The list is not a ‘best of 2009′ type deals but merely a way for us to encapsulate our journey of discovering music into one coherent post. Although a great deal of our posts were about the latest and greatest, the list includes many favorites that date couple of years back. Not everyone had the luxury to listen to Indie Music since 2000, we sure didn’t. Our goal is to discover all the great songs from the past and present, one song at a time.

It is in chronological order starting March and ending in December 2009.
