99. 100 Little Curses -- Street Sweeper Social Club

WVBR's Top 93 of 2009

WVBR is a commercial rock station out of Ithaca, NY. By day it is a throwback to AOR radio, with some current active rock and alternative tracks thrown in. By night it goes Indie. As Ithaca is home to Cornell University and Ithaca College, so it is the type of hip small market where you can get away with genre cherry picking and idiosyncric song picks.

XETRA "91x" Top 91 of 2009

2009 was a weird year for rock station year end countdowns. Several stations that have been doing them for years skipped this year -- and maybe are discontinuing forever -- KITS in San Francisco, KNDD in Seattle, KGSR in Austin all discontinued their longrunning countdowns. Even KROQ downsized its countdown to 20 (they did top 20s for each year of the last decade) KNDD also substituted a top 100 of the '00's for its yearly countdown, as did Canadian alt rocker CJZN.

CJLX Top 91 of 2009

CJLX is the radio station of Loyalist College (you don't get college names more Canadian than that) in Belleville Ontario. It serves as the alternative station for that city, so they don't go for that high falutin Animal Collective and Flaming Lips stuff like other college stations. This seems to be a common theme among most of the college stations that do year end countdowns. Unusually for a Canadian countdown, there's relatively little Canadian content. No Canadian artists until no. 33 -- and that one's Nickelback.
