I like this thread. There were some amazing songs by artists that didn't necessarily put out great albums. I'll put something together within the next day or two.

You've provided me a neat way to talk shit to you. Thanks.
I've listened to most of these, but I probably couldn't make a top 15 songs of 2011 list. I'll pick and choose what songs stand out to me, and disagree (most likely) with you.
First up, you have "Lemonade" by the Braids listed near the top of your list. "Glass Deers" is easily the best song on the album, so I'm glad you at least included it near the bottom of your list.

You have three songs listed from Let England Shake, but the best is "Written On The Forehead," not listed here.

"One Sunday Morning" is a rad song, I agree, but the best on Wilco's latest is by far "Art Of Almost."

Maybe I'm just kicking the can around on some of these, but I strongly feel "County Line" by Cass McCombs is shit compared to "A Knock Upon The Door," which would probably make my top ten.

I know Gramma would agree with you about "French Exit" being the best Antlers song. I'm not too keen on "I Don't Want To Love" but "Putting The Dog To Sleep" is awesome. My favorite is still "Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out." I might be alone on that one.

This thread got weird.
And all but two tracks on Burst Apart are tied for best song of 2011.

Lil B, for the same selfish reasons you like "Gon Be Okay," I like "Unchain Me." And yes it's because it's a sample, but it's awesome.

First, I should say I grabbed my headphones when I saw your list, so I thank you for that. I didn't really think I would disagree with you as much as I am so far. I like the first Iron & Wine selection you pointed out, but really don't like the second. My favoritre is still "Walking Far From Home."

I also like "Tree By The River" better than "Godless Brother In Love."
