Song And Album Of the Year/2011

[yeahwho]

Here is last years thread Song And Album Of the Year (http://bbs.beastieboys.com/showthread.php?t=95700), it was kick ass in 2010. I'm not too sure if 2011 dominated 2010 which was one of the finest years of music in a long long time. But 2011 is at least equal.

I'm finally combing through this digital mess and formulating some great songs and videos.

one song for sure in my Top 10 is Austra - Lose It (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LJtMrhb558) shit is fucked up and stuff.

What are your favs from 2011?

That video has Danny Brown, he did 2011s' Die Like A Rockstar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE-BZCrcU-w&feature=related), I'm not too sure if I could leave that out of the top 10 sickest songs of 2011... it's too awesome

[yeahwho]

I can easily say this is my favorite video for the year, Foo Fighters. Walk. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PkcfQtibmU&feature=related)

ASIWYFA...same as above, album and e.p just immense.

Scroobius Pip...LEt Em Come

probably a whole load more besides, but that's all i can think of atm....:D

[gbsuey]

I just noticed I put Crystal Castles in the older thread too....and the same album. But for some reason the same album got release dates in both years so i'm leaving it in!

[Guy Incognito]

Due to a combination of me not listening to many new albums, i have to say that i heard nothing better than HSC Part Two in 2011. But it really is great. Gallagher's album is pretty good.

songs :

what a life - noel gallagher

blind faith - chase & status

days are forgotten - kasabian

Dont sit down or you'll lose your chair - Arctic monkeys

survive it - ghostpoet

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah I nominate HSC2 for album, for sure.

[yeahwho]

Lose It is for sure in my top tunes for 2011, amazing track.


M83-Wait...Midnight City

Like a bookend to Lose It (Austra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LJtMrhb558))lll(M83 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX3k_QDnzHE)), both songs are very similar as far as a screechy pitch

[gbsuey]

REALLOVE-Factory Floor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhwyVavAFuU)

amaaaaaaazing.....forgot about this up there

[yeahwho]

Macklemore Wings (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAg3uMlNyHA)
The whole Foo Fighters garage tour (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYArUl0TzhA) in April... but especially this show in NY at the NYFD guys garage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkCER5CgRgk).... awesome! it cheers me up every time I watch it, I don't know why. :D
big KRIT (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqYgfX6dfxc) they use'd to say
M83 Midnight City (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX3k_QDnzHE)
Fucked Up The Other Shoe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW0-jrDeSgQ)
Black Lips Raw Meat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKdIv5N6rZY)

great list, never heard that surkin til just now, fuck it's good plus this is the first time I've seen nicola roberts!!!
woof woooooooooooooof grrrrr

pj harvey made a lot of #1 lists on the net, for a good reason, that song is so overwhelming, it takes multiple listens to just calm down a bit.

[Laserface]

not that i heard that many, but my vote for album would go for the new TV on the Radio. i think it's their best album yet.


Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0ijOe3sGEk)

yep

[yeahwho]

yeah I guess I never did put my favorite 2011 songs on the thread....

so yeah, here in no particular order...

The War on Drugs - "Come to the City" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMqWSFNC1jU) song just keeps creeping at you, getting stronger, stronger, great song.

The Kills - "Satellite (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hniPVDz12bc)" Fuzzy & Tight

The Antlers - "Putting The Dog To Sleep (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRDP4g5eiyM&feature=player_embedded#!)" If you have the time, listen to this all the way through, that guitar will start to jab right through your heart... fantastic live show.

Colin Stetson performs "Judges (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9YJM2GCvk8)" WTF? POW!

Trash Talk - "Awake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG5YJvcbEl4&feature=player_embedded#!)" Attitude Check

The White Panda "Midnight Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uEKLAmqxWY)" M83 & Kanye mashup, I like both songs but for some reason I like them together even better, kept me off the Jersey barriers the last few months driving home.

The War on Drugs - "Come to the City (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMqWSFNC1jU)" yep, turn it up there is a lot of sound in this here song.

Beastie Boys - "Make Some Noise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdgLMslbDuY&ob=av2e)" Off the Motherfuckin' Hook

Crystal Stilts - "Through the Floor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4aRK2fgXFI)" 60's psychedelia meets 70's industrial meets Joy Division, very addicting.

St. Vincent - "Dilettante (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=894MYqeAzIo)" or "Cruel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Itt0rALeHE8)" It's hard to wrap my mind around all the odd sounds/awkward production but it works real well. Kinda sums up the 2011 bands.

Destroyer - "Chinatown (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjAF6IVWOqs&feature=fvwrel)" Trust me, I didn't want to like this as much as I do, but I do and there is no denying why it's on so many album of the year lists as #1... so familiar yet so original.

ASAP "Demons (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjAF6IVWOqs&feature=fvwrel)" Of Course.

Danny Brown - "Die Like A Rockstar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE-BZCrcU-w)" fucking heavy shit, maybe my favorite song of the past decade, just fuck.

Speaking of fuck Fucked Up "A Little Death (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF6NTvJJYs8)" or "The Other Shoe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW0-jrDeSgQ)" or watch this band do there whole album live here from Pitchfork (http://pitchfork.com/tv/special-presentation/1883-fucked-up/3060-the-other-shoe/), these guys are really amazing, the drummer alone blows my mind... but that along with lead singer Damian Abraham.. oh fuck the whole band (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucked_Up#Members) rules 2011.

There a lot of other songs out there I know I'm forgetting. I just wanted to get some of what I really liked listening to during 2011 on here for posterity sakes.

[The Notorious LOL]

Demons by ASAP is such an awesome song that the rest of the album could be fart noises over beats and I'll still say its good.

[yeahwho]

That was a bad link for ASAP, urgh, without further ado "Demons (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYfDG5Ff9HQ&feature=related)"

And the Fucked Up show from NYC's West Village venue Le Poisson Rouge from the beginning, I realized I fucked up Fucked Up.

Here is the rock opera, "David Comes to Life" (http://pitchfork.com/tv/special-presentation/1883-fucked-up/) from the beginning.
