From NPR’s All Things Considered
Vote For Your Favorite Albums Of 2011
By: Jacob Ganz
You’ve seen NPR Music’s picks for the albums of the year, now it’s time to tell us yours. Below, you’ll find a list of about 250 albums released in 2011 that we’ve talked about on All Songs Considered or covered elsewhere on NPR Music. Think of it as your chance to stretch this conversation out for a few more days, or just to tell us how crazy we were to leave your favorite album off the list.
Of course, even 250 albums doesn’t come close to covering the range of great music released this year. If you don’t see your picks in the list, you can write them into the form at the bottom of the page.
Voting will remain open until 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, December 13. We’ll tabulate all the votes and reveal your top 100 on next week’s episode of the show.
Among the nominees are a couple IMN artists:
James Farm: James Farm
Joe Lovano Us Five: Bird Songs
