Chewable Vitamins’ Best Tracks of 2011
It’s easy to assemble your top tracks of the year when you post your favorite tune everyday. That’s one of my favorite things about writing this blog. I have a daily music journal of the past four (!) years.
It’s impossible to rank these, but my top favorites are pretty clear: Jay Z & Kanye West - Lift Off feat. Beyonce, Elbow - lippy kids, Laura Marling - Night After Night, R.E.M. - Oh My Heart. And the undisputed number 1 is Azealia Banks - 212. Track of the year hands down.
Here’s the full list in alphabetical order on song name. Why not.
