Top 10 Records of 2011

When I first set out to make this list, it was surprising what a disappointing year 2011 was for albums. That being said, there were a few gems that stuck out. Using the magic of science/last.fm, these are the alubms I listed to the most in 2011:

  1. James Blake
  2. Ryan Adams – Ashes & Fire
  3. Bibio – Mind Bokeh
  4. Wilco – The Whole Love
  5. Joe Henry – Reverie
  6. Washed Out – Within and Without
  7. Gillian Welch – The Harrow & Harvest
  8. tUnE-yArDs – w h o k i l l
  9. Tom Waits – Bad as Me
  10. Charles Bradley & Menahan Street Band – No Time for Dreaming
