Because mine are different slightly from my favorite albums:
Wild Flag - Future Crimes
Mr. Driver - Black Lips
Don't Move - Phantogram
Youth Knows No Pain - Lykke Li
Why I Love You - Jay-Z and Kanye West
Crystalline - Bjork
Strange Mercy - St. Vincent
Ffunny Ffriends - Unknown Mortal Orchestra
Dawned on Me - Wilco
(I like to call these next few songs the "John Hughes" soundtrack portion of the 2011 mix)
Still Life - The Horrors
Green Aisles - Real Estate
Soothe Me - Yuck
(exit John Hughes movie)
Little by Little - Radiohead
Bizness - TuNe YaRds (I don't have time to look up how it's actually capitalized)
Seven Sisters - Tori Amos (I picked the instrumental version for those who can't deal with her voice - but my favorite record of the year - tied with PJ)
On Battleship Hil - PJ Harvey (My favorite record of the year - tied with Tori)
Baby Missles - War on Drugs
ALL THE BEST - R.E.M. (I will miss you.)

Where's Bjork? She released a typically pretentious, unlistenable album this year, didn't she?

Wow! You bought in to it, didn't you? I weep for your Yoni...your subscription to "Bitch"....and your "Lilith Fair" t-shirt.
Stuart Mackenzie: Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.
Tony Giardino: So who's in this Pentavirate?
Stuart Mackenzie: The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee *beady* eyes, and that smug look on his face. "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"
Charlie Mackenzie: Dad, how can you hate "The Colonel"?
Stuart Mackenzie: Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!

Yup. I happen to like three very talented women songwriters who aren't afraid to write real songs and not total crap. You got me.

I'm calling bullshit on that. You look at the picture and you see "Mean Girls", circa 1992.

tori looks like the party slut who loves keg stands and college football
bjork looks like that chick who hangs out at dennys too late at night drinking coffee and smoking cloves and annoying the fuck out of anybody around her.
pj look like some drug drop out who says "whhhhaaatttt?" "huuuuhhh?" and "duddddee" a lot.
