First off, no, I didn’t pick Bon Iver’s “Bon Iver.” Let’s get that out of the way right off the bat. And you’ll probably disagree with my list. To quote the great Jimmy Fallon, “IRREGAHDLESS!” 2011 was an awesome year for music, and whether you agree with the list or not, tons of great stuff was released. So enjoy.
