10) Bon Iver – Bon Iver Kicking off the top 10 is a truly expansive album. I hadn’t heard of Bon Iver until he appeared on Kanye’s record last November. Then came the cover of Skinny Love by Birdy that made it’s way onto the charts, and Justin Vernon was a bonafide Blogger’s darling. The … Continue reading
25) Inna – Hot Some may laugh my pick for number 25, I choose to see Inna for what she is, a eurodance act that couldn’t be more generic if she tried. I doubt anyone could listen to Hot and not immediately need a few days on a beach somewhere. Taken for what it is … Continue reading
The next two lists I like to think of as my 10 favourite TV shows, and later Films of 2011, rather than the best, as I’m not a huge movie goer and my TV watching is restricted by what shows I have watched from the start. Let’s kick this off then. 10) Eureka (Season 4) … Continue reading

10) Chase and Status – Blind Faith (Feat. Liam Bailey) Kicking off the top 10 we have the Bass song of the year. It has been a brilliant year for Chase and Status and this is their crowning achievement. Expansive dub production with a vocal as massive in scale, this is a grand achievement in … Continue reading
20) Jay-Z and Kanye West – Otis (Feat. Otis Redding) Otis is the sound of two of the industry’s best rappers messing around in the studio over an Otis Redding sample. The fun these guys are having is so infectious you can’t help but want to join in with your own verse. Watch their faces … Continue reading
30) Björk – Crystalline It may not be one of the singer’s standout hits, and may have failed to set the chart alight, but the last minute or so of Crystalline remains one of my favourite moments of 2011. The drum fill before everything explodes into crazy drum and bass at the end makes me go … Continue reading
Here we are at my biggest list of the year as Christmas arrives. Prepare for some big surprises from the off, with some songs placing much higher or much lower than most people would expect. I’m going to have a small writeup for every song in the list this year, so let’s kick things off … Continue reading
10) LittleBigPlanet 2 (PS3) With 2009’s LittleBigPlanet Sony found themselves a new poster child for their latest console, and scored another exclusive IP appealing to critics and players alike. 2 years on, a sequel to the first ‘Play, Create, Share’ from developers Media Molecule arrived. Complaints over whether a sequel was necessary were soon proven … Continue reading
5) What’s My Name – GloZell1 A video that came out just 2 days into 2011, I probably sing Banana along to What’s My Name as much as I do Oh Na Na! 4) Nicki Minaj Super Bass Cover – SophiaGraceBrownlee A Viral Hit no one could avoid, Sophia Grace showed that her ‘hype girl’ … Continue reading
