Top 10 of 2011

When all was said and done, 2011 turned out to be a good year for new music and I found that the best of the best was strung out from the beginning of the year right into a late discovery for me in December. Also,  I barely had to argue with myself. No trying to squeeze 12 into 10 or somehow coming up with a distant number 9 or 10. I liked these 10 clearly above the rest.
