My Poproks 50 Best Songs of 2011
Hello and welcome to my year-end list. I started my Albums of the Year post about 9 blogmonths (2 weeks) ago and realized very quickly that the majority of my favorite music from this year wasn’t on there. For me, 2011 was a big year for songs. Albums, singles, EPs, mixtapes, remixes, remix albums, free downloads, soundtracks, and, in a few cases, other are all represented by the songs on this list (which could have easily been twice as long but I’m not crazy).
As always, you will hate this list. The order of the songs is somewhat approximate. If you’re unhappy because you would switch 25 with 37, calm down. Go play ur video gamez.
