11 best albums of 2011

2011 Gave us some great new artists to begin new love affairs with, it also yielded some comebacks by some well known powerhouses in the industry. The list below is a fresh blend of the new and the old. Some of you may get on my case for not mentioning the new Coldplay album. In all honesty I am not a fan of the album, perhaps a few more spins and it might bump something off this list. Go ahead and give me your top 11 or fewer for the year in the comment section.
