Where is Foster the People - Pumped up the kick?
Where is Maroon 5?
That listing I don’t know any of them. Who chose those as being the songs that are being voted on? We all didn’t get a say in this?
I don’t listen to any songs that were released after 1989.
Well, here are my two favorites of the year.
First is a 40 something year old man from England who uses the name ‘ Ghostpoet ‘. A song unlike any I have ever heard. Mournful and definately written by someone in mid-life.
Listen to the lyrics and tell me what you think.

Next one is ‘ Lonely Boy ‘ by The Black Keys. Really a fun song. The gentleman dancing is a part time security guard at the hotel where they were going to film the video. Well, they saw his dance moves and decided to change the entire music video. Really a fun song / video.

Maren Morris - Live Wire
The Hee-Haw song Gloom, Dispair and Agony on Me fits 2012:
Although none of these were recorded in 2011, these are the ones I listened to most this year:
Finally - a post not about immigration or adultery! My list is music that I believe has all been released in 2011. All selections are currently on my harddrive in flac format. In approximately alphabetical order:
Ben Harper - Give Till It’s Gone.
Drive-By Truckers - Ugly Buildings, Whores & Politicians.
Emmylou Harris - Hard Bargain.
Greg Allman - Low Country Blues.
Hank Williams III - Hillbilly Joker.
John Prine - The Singing Mailman Delivers.
Radiohead - The King of Limbs.
Tom Waits - Bad As Me
Warren Haynes - Man In Motion
I also listen to Widespread Panic every day - every single day. I’m just over 2,000 live sources of Panic shows. I have listened to damn near every known Widespread Panic show from the past 25 years.
Pat Metheny - What’s It All About
FYI: This song has been picked by ARD (German TV channel) to be played as their winter sports theme.
