Favorite Albums of 2011
It seems like a really random bunch, but these are the albums I listened to most in 2011.
Foster The People, Torches is my number one. If I couldn’t find anything on the radio I liked, or if shuffle on my iPhone was not cutting it, I would just listen to Torches. It’s just my kind of music: Alternative Pop. Grouplove Never Trust A Happy Song is a close second, only because Torches came out first and I’ve been listening to Torches longer.
