Top Tracks + Albums of 2011
A bit late but here are my faves of 2011. I actually think 2011 has been a great year for music but, more so now than ever, you just had to get through a hell of a lot of dross to find the good stuff. No surprise Azealia Banks is number 1. She’s got everyone talking and I still love that track every time I hear it. (Not bad when tracks today seem to have a shelf life of 2 weeks.) Feel free to let me know your faves and Happy 2012 to you.
