Because you demanded it...Favorite Songs of 2011

Hooray! Another year end list! Because if i don't chronicle and categorize all the things i liked, then how will we know if they truly existed? I've limited myself to one song per artist, with the exception of any collaborative efforts. You gotta have rules and standards man. Here's the jammy-jams i've been diggin' on for 2011: 52 songs, one for every week of the year.
