The Top 20 Albums of 2011

2011 was a very different year in music for me. There were not as many strong contenders for my top 10 CD’s of the year. Not to worry though, there were still a number of great releases. I culled this list of 20 CD’s down from 25, which is down from about 50 last year. For the song category I started with about 60 songs and finally narrowed that down to 12 for my year-end podcast, which will also be posted soon.

 So without further delay, here is my ObviousPop Top 20 CD’s of 2011:

1. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds - Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
2. Kyle Andrews - Robot Learn Love
3. Fountains of Wayne - Sky Full of Holes
4. Tally Hall - Good & Evil
5. Blue October – Any Man In America
6. Longplayer - Longplayer
7. Quiet Company - We Are All Where We Belong
8. M83 - Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming
