Here things could get a little shifty if I were to revisit this year and make a new list, but considering the list of 25 that I originally posted last December, I can’t imagine straying much from that list. Just some of those songs not in the top five might shuffle in and out with the others. 

That being said, the songs that I revisit most often from that list are definitely the LCD Soundsytem jams, the Robyn tracks, and of course, “Decisions” by How to Dress Well. I had never heard of How to Dress Well before last year and since then, I’ve devoured everything that Tom Krell has released under that name. I find everything that he does to be moving, powerful, and most of all, incredibly easy to listen to on repeat. “Decisions” is a heartbreaker, but it’s a stunning introduction to the man’s work and the reason that I eagerly away anything that he does. 

Lavishing any more praise on LCD Soundsystem would just be repeating myself at this point. I’m in love with everything that James Murphy does, but those two songs were perfect caps to a perfect career as LCD. Robyn is at her best when she is pouring her heart out over a killer beat and she released all sorts of those goodies last year, it’s just that “Call Your Girlfriend” is my hands down favorite. I still listen to it a few times a week. It’s a perfect pop song. 

I won’t carry on blathering about life and music any longer. These things were just put together so anyone interested in seeing what I loved in the years of release could do so, but also so that I could log them all in one area and take them off of the beat-to-shit notebook that has held these notes for so many years. So, there is a top 5 for each year of the 21st century (so far). With 2011 coming to an end soon, I’ll have another batch to add. Hope you all enjoyed these ramblings and bits of nonsense. It was a lot of fun revisiting. Thanks for joining me on the trip.
