For me 2011 was a great year for music. I have enjoyed far too many albums this year to put them in any sort of order. These are the ones I have liked the most:

Bon Iver - Bon Iver

Death Cab for Cutie - Codes and Keys

Explosions in the Sky - Take Care, Take Care, Take Care

Jeniferever - Silesia

Johnny Foreigner - Vs Everything

Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow

Mogwai - Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will

Radiohead - The King Of Limbs

Ringo Deathstarr - Colour Trip

Sons and Daughters - Mirror Mirror

Take a Worm for a Walk Week - TAWFAWW

The Get Up Kids - There Are Rules

The Horrors - Skying

The Naked and Famous - Passive Me, Aggressive You

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Belong

Will Haven - Voir Dire

Young Legionnaire - Crisis Works

Yuck - Yuck

Wugazi - 13 Chambers

British Sea Power - Valhalla Dance Hall

The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar

Rival Schools - Pedals

Wild Beasts - Smother

Happy Particles - Under Sleeping Waves

The Antlers - Burst Apart

Los Compesinos - Hello Sadness

Biggest disappointments for me were:

Battles - Gloss Drop. I liked it, but it was lacking something (probably Tyondai Braxton).

M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. I just got bored with it. I love M83 but it was a chore to listen to. I think it could of been a great single album rather than a double.

I dunno, Los Campesinos! disappointed me this year. I mean, the album's decent, but it's no Romance is Boring. I think they peaked with that. Parts of Hello Sadness are so, so droll, probably thanks to the introduction of Kim (Gareth can't really make sexual references at his own sister, I guess).

EDIT: Oh, and I now remember that King Creosote namechecks Aberdeen in Diamond Mine! Famous.

Good point, hadn't thought about that. They still play the likes of 'Straight In At 101' live, though.

Heh, I guess with the adrenaline pumping through them shouting "feels like the build-up takes forever but you never touch my cock" at your sister is easier than it sounds.

That, by the way, is a lyric I miss so bad. :(
