Discussing :: Vote for the Best Albums of 2011

Today is December 1st, which for most people marks the first day of Summer – for me it means getting my end of year music lists together. Over the next month, all music magazines and websites will put forth their ‘Best Albums of 2011’ list. It comes every year, yet it never gets any easier. Choosing the top records of the year requires all sorts of revisiting, reshuffling and general anxiety.  This year for the first time in Get Frank’s history, I am opening it up to our readers to have a say. One man’s opinion is meaningless, but with your votes I can feel far more confident in crowning the champion. Just to jog your memory,... read full article

...There's some good ones in there especially James Blake and Bon Iver...but also liked off the top of my head Foo Fighters Wasting Light, Big K.R.I.T Return of 4eva,
Artic Monkeys and a number of Kiwi bands...but a good array of albums this year...so spoilt for choice really....

Adele 21 would have to first, considering how many Cds Adele sold and air play. Bon Iver would be second as far as new group with great music and Foster People most interesting music newcomer.

I love Lykke Li and think Wounded Rhymes is a great. She is a freak but in all the right ways. Raw and stunning stuff.

I don't have a top 10 favorite album but 'Kanye West and Jay-Z - Watch the Throne' is one of my favourite picks.

weak, just like last year you have chosen the standard pitchfork / rolling stone darlings which every other hipster douchebag reviewer is currently gushing over. Hundreds of fantastic and obscure independent EPs and albums are released every week, how about some titles we HAVENT heard everywhere else?


Johnny

Hey John,
mate if everyone on the net is stoked about the same records that's gotta mean something right? The truth is there aren't that many great albums released every year...
But I would be interested in seeing what your top ten albums of 2011 are?
Because honestly the ones listed above pretty much represent all of the great releases of the year...


Al

pitchfork and rolling stone mark the height of music criticism. Don't be a cynic. Don't hate. I personally think there should have be a bit of metal represented on the top ten list - Primordial and Hammers of Misfortune put out some great albums this year.
But I reckon Bon Iver is a clear champion...
