I Rock I Roll's FAVORITE Albums of 2011: #1-10!!! WOO HOO.


Just when you thought maybe - just maybe - I would just post a top 25-11 favorite albums and come back to this in February or maybe never - HERE IT IS YOU GUYS.

Also this blog has now been around for close to 9 years. HOW CRAZY IS THAT? How old AM I (ahem not that old)? Thanks to the five people or so who still read this, and to the great bands and awesome publicists who email me even though I don't always (ever) write most of you back. My gmail still reaches maximum capacity every month so it's good that you're kicking ass at your jobs and fighting the good fight for the attention you/your artists deserve.

Some people say music blogs are dead or dying and maybe that's true to some degree, but as long as I'm still listening to and falling in love with music and having fun doing so I'll still be here sharing/rambling in some form or another.. until I get really old and have to turn this into a mommy blog.

Just kidding.

I Rock I Roll's FAVORITE Albums of 2011: #21-25


Seriously, it's weird, but this list was in some ways harder to build for me than any other year.

Was it that there was so much amazing new music this year? I'm going to say.. kind of but not really. You'll see a lot of my top 10 list is going to be made up of personal favorites and everything else was pretty DARN GOOD. Not mind blowing. Not 'meh' inducing. What I'm saying is: it was a year of good music and these are my favorite albums.

Please note I'm not a paid music critic and I have a personal life so I have not actually listened from beginning to end to every album that came out this year. And I bet you haven't either (unless you are a paid music critic and in that case... how is that going for you?). These are the albums that are my favorites and maybe will become your favorites too. Here we go with 21-25!

21. Yuck - Yuck

SONG: The Wall


22. Acrylics - Lives & Treasure

SONG: Nightwatch


23.Kids of 88 - Sugarpills

SONG: Ribbons Of Light


24. Telekinesis - 12 Desperate Straight Lines

SONG: Please Ask For Help


25. Yellow Ostrich - The Mistress

SONG: Whale
