I don't know if it's a sign of age, but the fact that a decade is soon to end hasn't really entered my consciousness. And even though it's only 4 days away, I still don't really have any thoughts, let alone deep thoughts, on the subject. Anyway, here's my favorite tracks from 2019 with the usual disclaimer that I don't include any artist who appeared on the best of compilations from the previous two years. And since it's the end of a decade, I've re-upped all my previous best of compilations 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018). Download all three discs
