Top Songs Of 2011 So Far
Lots of stuff I haven't heard yet. One song per artist. Feels like I'm
forgetting some stuff but this is what I came up with in 5 minutes. |
| 1 | Manchester Orchestra
Simple Math
If this gets beat it's going to be one of the best songs of all time. The music
video is breathtaking. |
| 2 | Hawkboy
Two Bit
Epic. |
| 3 | Wu Lyf
Spitting Blood
The end of Heavy Pop might be the moment of the year though. |
| 4 | Fleet Foxes
Helplessness Blues
Album is alright but this song... |
| 5 | Red
Feed the Machine
Disappointing album minus this song. |
| 6 | Death Cab For Cutie
You Are A Tourist
Riff of the year. |
| 7 | Storyline
Take Me
Not really my typical thing but this song has the potential to be a MASSIVE
radio hit. It's Paramore-y. http://storyline.bandcamp.com/track/take-me |
| 8 | Bon Iver
Calgary
Waiting for the release date to listen to this because I haven't really been in the
mood. But this song makes me optimistic. |
| 9 | Emery
I Never Got To See The West Coast
I freaking loved this song live. They played it acoustic and it was really intimate
and stuff. |
| 10 | Jeff Jacquay
World's Record Trophy
Lo-fi indie folk. http://jeffjacquay.bandcamp.com/track/worlds-record-trophy |
| 11 | Kye Kye
Rooftops
Eisley but better. |
| 12 | Laura Stevenson and the Cans
Master of Art
There isn't really a definitive song in my mind from this yet but it's a very solid
album. |
| 13 | Glassjaw
Vanilla Poltergeist Snake
Not my normal thing but I dig it. |
| 14 | Marksmen
No Sound For You
Unabashedly rips off Manchester Orchestra (I mean the singers look the same,
have the exact same voice, and they both have beards!) but still very good.
