Kill your darlings

So I write reviews for this Dutch music magazine and now I have to come up with a list of my favorite records of this year. Too bad, I can only choose 5... I have managed to limit my list of twenty great albums to only nine, but that is still four to much. :(

Mr. A-Z - Jason Mraz
Almost honest - Josh Kelley
Deadbeat sweetheartbeat - The Juliana Theory
Twentythree - Tristan Prettyman
Back to me - Kathleen Edwards
Nashville - Josh Rouse
Drunkard’s prayer - Over The Rhine
Nothing is sound - Switchfoot
Something to be - Rob Thomas

Who can help me decide?
