Time for another year's favorites thread to complement the running 2010 threads and to combat the maligners of modern music. What were some of your favorites this year?
Here's my top 50 with links to the artist's site, the full streaming album (if available), the label, 3 favorite songs with links in preference of official video/live video/studio version, and the album's EPK/making of/other background video (if available). As always, most of my rankings are rather fluid and I hope to discover a few more contenders.
