So we have a long list of DJ Favorites of 2009, but what is the best music overall? The answer is only a short grading scale and Excel worksheet away! (Full disclosure: I’m kind of a computer nerd, which should explain why I write for a blog and make Excel spreadsheets for fun) Based on a simple method of aggregation of all of the DJs’ choices, I’ve generated the list of the best music of 2009 below! And remember, you can still have your say on what the top 95.5 tracks of ‘09 are, and you’ll be able to hear the complete list starting on January 1st, 2010!
