At the end of the day, my decision on this top 11 came down to one thing...listenability. Which albums held up to repeat listens... Which albums didn't get dated by the 3rd spin... Which albums still sounded fresh a month after the novelty wore off... Which albums I felt confident recommending to friends...
Bon Iver's album became that one album that stood above the others. It's the one album I kept going back to...the one album I could listen to on repeat...the one album that reminded me why I love music so much...

dude, i've noticed there's been no comments lately. but let me tell you, your site devotes more time to music than nearly anyone possibly can. it's remarkable. it's great. and it constantly gives me new listening ideas of things to check out. don't quit it. rock on.
