I just wrote a big blog piece on this here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/yesiamaduck/view/new-years-a-year-in-review-music-edition-includes-spotify-links-184922 and because it took me a long time to write and stuff I thought I'd use it as the crutch of a discussion!

So here is my list for those not wanting to wade threw the billions upon billions of words I wrote down, but I would like it if you gave it a cheeky look!

I did a top 30

1) Katy B - On A Mission
2) PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
3) St Vincent - Strange Mercy
4) Connan Mockasin - Forever Dolphin Love
5) Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes
6) Gang Gang Dance
7) ****ed Up - David Comes To Life
8) Destroyer - Kaputt
9) Bon Iver - S/T
10) Thundercat - The Golden Age Of Apocalypse
11) Jamie Woon - Mirrorwriting
12) Patrick Wolf - Lupercalia
13) Little Dragon - Ritual Union
14) Tune-Yards - W H O K I L L
15) John Maus - We Must Become The Pitless......
16) Future Islands - In Evening Air
17) Nicolas Jarr - Space Is Only Noise
18) 13 & God - Own Your Ghost
19) Son Lux - We Are Rising
20) Momus & John Heriksson - The Thunderclown
21) Wild Flag - S/T
22) Man Man - Life Fantastic
23) Toro Y Moi - Underneath The Pine
24) The Horrors - Skying
25) Cass McCombs - WIT'S END
26) Emika - S/T
27) Kate Wax - Dust Collision
28) Oh Land - S/T
29) Braids - Native Speaker
30) Peaking Lights - 936

So there we go, took me ages (a whole year LOL) to come up with that list... here is a spotify (I love spotify) playlist of some of the best songs from all the album (bottom to top (30 - 1), in that order) http://open.spotify.com/user/yesiamaduck/playlist/4IlMuB8PBUKtddrDq1hwWk

But enough! The best thing about the internet and music is to share... post yours! I want to discover more before I end up chest sdeep in 2012 albums :)

    Based upon the rest of your list, I'm surprised that TV on the Radio's Nine Types of Light didn't make the cut. Check out the whole album [and an associated video for each] here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B5GP0AiQMc&ob=av3e

    Other albums that I liked include, in no particular order:
    - So Beautiful Or So What, Paul Simon
    - In the Mountain in the Cloud, Portugal. the Man
    - Gutter Rainbows, Talib Kweli
    - Pint of Blood, Jolie Holland

    There were others, probably. But I don't think of 2011 as a particularly great year for music.

    2011 wasn't that great, this to 30 is weaker then ones I would've made in the past but hey ho! I don't know TV On The Radio don't do it for me anymore which is a shame because Return To Cookie Mountain is a bloody awesome album... it all went a bit wrong at Dear Science.
