Albums of 2011

10 - Red Hot Chili Peppers - I‘m With You

These guys can still rock. They‘ll always be a staple in my music collection.

9 - Foster the People - Torches

Favorite Tracks: Pumped Up Kicks

Another song that was over played on the radio and I bought the album out of curiosity of what the rest sounded like. It‘s an interesting album. I haven‘t listened to it enough to decide how much I like it.

8 - A Day to Remember - What Separates Me From You

Favorite Tracks: All I Want

I was surprised to hear this band played on the radio, they really took the level of rock down a few notches and sang some songs instead of just screaming their heads off. It was a nice surprise.

7 - The Dirty Heads - Any Port in a Storm

This song was played constantly on the radio and I bought this album purely out of curiosity to see what the rest of it sounded like.

6 - Damion Suomi - self titled & Damion Suomi Needs a Little Water

Discovered this band at a $5 show. What an awesome find! They have a unique sound, I‘m a fan.

All of their songs are very energetic. It‘s a fun album to listen to.

4 - Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More

The banjo is rad. One album that I can listen to from beginning to end over and over again and never get tired of it.

I really enjoyed this album and can‘t wait to hear more from them.

Honorable Mentions of 2011

4 - The Black Keys - Brothers

Another album I discovered last year but didn‘t pay much attention to until recently. Apparently these guys have been around for awhile, I‘d like to check out their other albums. I‘ve been happy with what I‘ve heard so far.

3 - Paper Tongues - self titled

First heard them last year but didn‘t really listen to this album much until this year.

Singles of 2011

5 - Dragonforce - Through the Fire and the Flames

There‘s nothing like a little power metal to get you pumped up while on a long road trip.

4 - Keller Williams - Freeker by the Speaker

This one is on my top 10 most listened to songs on my iPod. Apparently, I listen to this one more than I realized, but it‘s an awesome song by a rad musician.

3 - Katy Perry - Peacock

When you‘re sitting at a red light and you catch the person next to you staring, this is a fun song to blast and watch their reactions.
