So here’s a list of some of my favorite songs from 2011 in no particular order.  I also made a more robust playlist on Spotify if that’s more your speed.  However, I also wanted to link to some of my other favorite songs that didn’t make it on either of these streaming services this year, so here goes nothing:

• Icona Pop - Top Rated
• Alabama Shakes - You Ain’t Alone
• Alain Alex - Wait
• Bailiff - Emptied Out
• Fortune Tellers - Make it Easy
• Spirits of the Red City - Fire
• Penny & the Quarters - You and Me
• Bernhoft - C’mon Talk
• Bailiff - Everyday Fire

So yeah, it’s been a good year in music.  Lots of great records, songs and shows.  Looking forward to more in 2012. In the mean time, I’d love to hear your thoughts about the list.  What did I miss?  What were your favorites?  What are you looking forward to next year?

Regardless, I hope that you have a happy holiday and an outstanding new year!
