Why stop with just our favorite albums when there is still 12 and half hours of 2011 left! Here are some of our favorite songs that made 2011 just fly by.
Bill - Youth Lagoon - "Montana"
A slow burning piano ballad that morphs into one hell of a uplifting singalong. Complete with a whistle-like synth sample that could make Peter Bjorn and John jealous. Bonus points for one the best music videos of the year.
Michelle - DEERPEOPLE - "New Dance"
This song hit me in the chest, ripped out my heart and made me examine it. I found the cracks, bruises, scars and callouses...and the reason I live. I found the song to my life, my existence - at least for right now - and maybe forever
Alina - Black Keys - "Lonely Boy"
Lonely Boy by Black Keys takes my vote for “Best Song of 2011”. Not only does it have an upbeat rhythm that just doesn’t get old, there are quite a few entertaining videos out that are sure to bring a smile to your face. The song’s been out since October so find it on YouTube and give it a listen; if won’t disappoint.
Hunter - Black Keys - "Lonely Boy"
possibly the greatest wiener tease of this generation, with
deep surf organ glory, the nastiest of riffage and a theme we can all
relate to, The Akron boys seemed to have the perfect formula for
godlyhood......darn shame they forgot that recipe on tracks 2 through
the rest of em.....Alina - Black Keys - "Lonely Boy"

Hunter - Black Keys - "Lonely Boy"
Stephen - Timber Timbre - "Bad Ritual"
Murky, swampy blues sung with a graverobber's croon. The song
thumps and bumps through the night with a creeping bassline and lyrics
that blur the line between jealousy and obsession. Timber Timbre will
give you goosebumps.
Sean - Foster the People - "Pump up the Kicks"
2011 was the year you
couldn't escape this song. Yet, for twelve straight months, whenever it
was on the radio, I'd crank it. It's catchy without being obnoxious, and
for my money in a year where bubblegum pop topped the charts, that
alone is a pretty big deal. Doesn't hurt that it's a good song, on top
of it all.
