My 25 favorite albums of 2011

These albums provided pleasurable listening experiences throughout the year that was 2011, and I’m guessing most of them will probably continue to do so for some time.

And you know what, I put them in order just because I could. And another thing, I added videos. I’m sure SOPA would frown on this but SOPA isn’t around right now.
