This is not a typical "Best of the decade" list. To be more precise, it's a list about the top 20 albums of each year of the last decade, in my perspective of course. In this way, a lot of good albeit overlooked albums can get some exposure, in addition to covering more ground at the same time.

1. 2009

2. Sybreed - The Pulse Of Awakening

3. Ghost Brigade - Isolation Songs

4. Porcupine Tree - The Incident
