Top 10 Albums of 2011
What a year 2011 was, in fact, for me personally, some very, very tragic and awful things happened, but at least one very good thing happened, too.
The same with the world of music. Some fairly bad, some slightly sufficient especially in the world of Pop, some pretty good with only a few greats stumbling up the charts. Well, except for Adele. She totally zoomed. Then we have our Rock Leaders & Legends (Wilco, Radiohead, etc.) who set the bar pretty high.
Locally, the music scene in 2011 hummed along in any event, though the media keeps persistently positing the theory that the Seattle music scene is still dead. It isn’t. Sometimes it’s just resting. Let’s hope it kicks into high gear for this new year. Since they made the list, Head & the Heart wins Local Heroes award.
The Jet City Redhead’s Top 10 Albums of 2011 are as follows:
1. 21 by Adele (Columbia)
2. Rise Ye Sunken Ships by We Are Augustines (Turnout/ Oxcart)
3. Build a Rocket Boys! by Elbow (Fiction/ Downtown)
4. Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming by M83 (Mute)
5. Bad As Me by Tom Waits (Anti-)
6. The Black Keys by El Camino (Nonesuch)
7. The Head and the Heart by The Head and the Heart (Sub Pop)
8. The King of Limbs by Radiohead (tbd)
9. My Head Is An Animal by Of Monsters And Men (Record)
10. The Big Roar by The Joy Formidable (Canvasback/ Atlantic)
That’s a wrap for 2011. Now on to bigger & better things. Amen.
