My Top Albums: 2011

Well... It's that time of year again. When we reflect on the past year and look forward to a new one. Of course, my reflection of 2011 derives strictly from the vast amount of great music released this year. So I composed a list of MY FAVORITES (capitalized for emphasis of music that I preferred over the year). In each category it is listed in the order of number of plays it has received by me.

Hope you enjoy and hope I might have put you on to a few artists that you may have overlooked! Have A Happy New Year Everyone!
