What better way to ring in the new year than with the traditional year-end list of the good, bad, best, worst, most, least, wildest, coolest, lamest stuff from the previous year?

I've got a list of my own, too. It's the Top 21 Year-End Lists of 2009. I've been collecting them for a few weeks now, and it's time to dust 'em off and get rid of them before they get all moldy and stale.

So here's one last look at 2009 before we kick its butt out the door. Enjoy … and Happy New Year!
