My favorite albums for the year 2011 are:
1. Decemberists The King Is Dead
2. Ryan Adams Ashes & Fire
3. Wilco The Whole Love
4. Beastie Boys Hot Sauce Committee Part 2
5. Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues
6. Tom Waits As Bad As Me
7. Radiohead King Of Limbs
8. The Head & The Heart The Head & The Heart
9. Drive By Truckers Go Go Boots
10. The Strokes Angels
I was really disappointed by Bon Iver's new record,which I felt relied too heavily on effects and technology and killed what was distinctive about the band's sound. I missed out on a few albums from artists like Death Cab For Cutie, Old 97s, Nick Lowe, Dolorean, and Jesse Sykes. Did I miss out on any other good albums?
Girls--Father, Son, Holy Ghost
Tune-yards--Whokill
White Denim--D
The Vaccines--What Did You Expect from the Vaccines?
Beirut--The Rip Tide

Beirut is the only band I've heard of and don't know them well. I've got some exploring to do-thanks.
