The Best Songs of 2011 so far?

[RFUS]

A month or so ago I started the same thread but about albums, and then went on to list my then 10 favourite albums, and a few others. But of course not everyone spends as much time listening to music as I do, and I don't think most people had even listened to 10 new albums this year, never mind enough to make a quality top 10.

So, here's a thread about songs. If you're not heard 10 or so decent songs this year then shame on you. Switch off Juice FM you bad blert.


Here's my top 10 right now, anyway...


1.) Okkervil River - "Piratess"

I literally just listened to them all. Have to say not to my taste but interesting none the less. Really liked the Thursday one. So much so I bought it!

 

[Alio]

Bon Iver = Towers, by the way. Yes. That would be in the top 12. What an album.

She has wonderful boobs though. Spectacular, even.

 

[Alio]

Never a truer word said, friend.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

OH YES.

So i might as well post this even though it doesn't fit in with Ruthus's thread title. But who cares, ist Katy Perry, a wazzo pair of jugs.

And Elmo.
