I don't think I'd even made one of these lists since 2009, but 2011 marked a time that new music became exciting to me again, and I had to start it all up one more time.
I ranked every song I took into consideration, for a grand total of: 135. Most years I'd be up around 200. But that's alright. I held off as long as I did just in case I felt like putting together some sort of special presentation for this countdown, but like it always ends up, I was too busy throughout most of the year to make anything like that.
