The 20 Best Songs of 2011
2011 was a good year for music, particularly my favorite genres of music. Some of my favorite bands put out new material and I came to like a lot of new bands. Very exciting!
This post is a top 20 list of the best songs that I came across this year. All songs on the list were singles released sometime in 2011. In essence, this is my spin on the top songs of 2011.
At the bottom of the post, I provided links to some other best-of-2011 lists I found around the web. Use for a different look.
