As we say goodbye to 2011 and hello to 2012, I must continue one of the consistencies of my life, music! A DECADE OF MUSIC! My 2011 countdown will officially mark the 10th annual DJDylon’s countdown. It all started back in 2001 when (at the age of 15) I decided to countdown my favorite songs of the year. I decided to stick to songs that were only played on the radio because if I left it open to albums and underground stuff, then most likely it would consists of songs that no one has heard. I did it in 2001, then in 2002 then it just picked up from there. Apparently there are people out there who look forward to my list and that makes me happy. So I can’t leave them dry. But before we get down to it, let’s recap the other top 10′s of 2011!!
MOVIES!!!
This lists is definitely subject to opinion. I KNOW there are better movies out there, but it’s hard to rank movies you have never seen. In 2011 I saw a total of 25 movies (that were released in 2011). So here are my top 10 from that list of 25 movies.
10.) Cowboys & Aliens
09.) Just Go With IT
08.) Fast Five
07.) Rise of the Planet of the Apes
06.) Super 8
05.) Captain America
04.) Money Ball
03.) Transformers Dark of the Moon
02.) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II
01.) X Men First Class
ALBUMS
If you know me, you’ll know that I’d rather purchase an actual CD than download it on itunes. I have to admit I have cut down on my CD purchasing’s in the last few years, but the year 2011 still offered some amazing music. So here are my top 10 albums of 2011
10.) Lady Gaga – Born This Way
09.) Blink 182 – Neighborhoods
08.) Coldplay – Mylo Xyloto
07.) Jay Z & Kanye West – Watch the Throne
06.) David Guetta – Nothing But the Beat
05.) Emery – We Do What We Want
04.) Chevelle – Hats Off To The Bull
03.) The Black Keys – El Camino
02.) Bad Meets Evil – Hell: The Sequel
01.) Foo Fighters – Wasting Light
MUSIC!!!
Because this will mark my 10th annual countdown, I found it necessary for me to update everyone on the last 10 years. Don’t worry, I’m not going to countdown all hundred songs from each year. But I am going to list the top 10 songs from the last 10 years.
ENJOY!!!!!
