So there were some truly great music released and listened to this year IMHO. I Leik’d these albums… a lot. No true order or preference, just a mere barometer of where my musical tastes were travelling to.
I’m sure the second i post this, i*ll likely go “DOH!” as i forget an album that i was listening to so intently earlier in 2011, but i don’t have access to my full collection so am going from memory here:
