Best and Worst of 2011

So now what we have all been waiting for, 2011 in Review. So, we are listing here the best and worst of 2011. What excites me to think about is that before 2011, there was so much great music that had not been released. Now, we can still say that about 2012--there is so much more to come, including albums from No Doubt, Dev, Linkin Park, Soundgarden, Mumford and Sons, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Sleigh Bells, Metallica, Queens of the Stone Age and Tool. That is something you can count on every year--a new batch of music to love.
