Hey Y'all. It's that time of year again to share some of the the newer stuff you listened to in the year 2011. You can post any type of release you want -- yes, even the remaster of Some Girls can be an entry.

Here are some albums I dug (in no particular order because I haven't even began to think about that):

(Album Title) - (Band Name)
Dye it Blonde- Smith Westerns
Yuck - Yuck
Blood Pressures - The Kills
El Camino - The Black Keys
Suck it and See - Arctic Monkeys
Angles - The Strokes
Era Extrana - Neon Indian
Nine Types of Light- TV on the Radio
What Did You Expect from the Vaccines? - The Vaccines
The Great Escape Artist - Jane's Addiction
Ashes and Fire - Ryan Adams
Velociraptor! - Kasabian
Codes and Keys - Death Cab for Cutie
Father, Son, Holy Ghost - Girls
Circuital - My Morning Jacket
Reissue of Queens of the Stone Age self-titled record (..and the show I saw them play it in its entirety was fantastic)
Bad as Me - Tom Waits

There's some other stuff I listened to that I probably need to hear again to determine whether or not I really liked it. Something like Within and Withoutby Washed Out was decent, but I didn't wrap my head around it much. There were some things that people liked that I didn't care for (Tomboy from Panda Bear pretty much turned me off around the middle of it).

There's some excellent stuff on your list Boomy.  I wasn't gonna add the new Black Keys disc at first because it only came out a few weeks ago, but I've given that disc a shitload of spins since, so it's there. Anyway. My top 10.

1. dEUS - Keep You Close. (Don't know how well-known this band is in countries other than Belgium and The Netherlands, but do surf for a bit and check these guys out.)
2. Tom Waits - Bad As Me.
3. Wilco - The Whole Love
4. Tommy Ebben & The Small Town Villains - A Whisper To Arms. (Up and coming band from the Netherlands. Fresh sounding tunes, great songwriting, American roots: sounds a bit like DBT)
5. Gillian Welch - The Harrow And The Harvest
6. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Wolfroy Comes To Town
7. Blitzen Trapper - American Goldwing
8. Drive-by Truckers - Go-Go Boots
9. Ryan Adams - Ashes And Fire
10. The Black Keys - El Camino
11. DeWolff - Orchards/Lupine (Dutch psychedlic blues rockers. Bunch of kids really. They burned down the house during the set at the Lowlands Festival).

Favorite reissues of this year are obvious picks: Some Girls plus extra's is a gem. And then there's the 20th anniversary edition of Nevermind...fantastic. Can't believe 20 years passed so fast. By far the greatest rock album of the 90s and probably the most important rock album since London Calling.  

In no particular order:

Foo Fighters- Wasting Light
Foo Fighters- Medium Rare ( compiled covers)
Stones- Some Girls reissue
REM-Collapse Into Now
Black Lips- Arabia Mountain
Smiths- Reissues/remastered, etc
Ministry Of Sound-XX twenty Years
Thievery Corporation- Culture Of Fear
Stones- Brussels Affair
U2-Achtung Baby 20th anniversary  delux
Beastie boys- Hot Sauce Committee pt 2
Jane's Addiction-The Great Escape Artist
Ursula 1000-Mondo Beyondo
Trent Reznor- Girl w/ Dragon Tattoo OST
