This time of year, there are several great places in the blogosphere to read about the Best in Music 2011.
Below are some of my favorites. 
- Surfing on Steam | One of the blogs and twitter feeds I read the most. The LA-based blog features the Top 25 Albums of 2011, and the Top 10 Videos of 2011.
- Aquarium Drunkard | To me, this is the best written music blog on the net. Tons of quality contributors, and a mix of old and new music genres. The blog recently posted a very quality 2011 Year in Review.
- Gorilla vs. Bear | The blog posted their favorites – full-lengths, mixtapes, EPs, and one cassette – and asked artists for personal favs as well.
- Believe in Sound | The Irish-based music blog provides albums, EPs, songs, and breakthrough artists of the year.
- Rolling Stone, Rob Sheffield | Author and contributor Rob Sheffield’s list really is not up my alley (ok, it’s not a blog either), but his review of his #5 song, Bon Iver’s “Beth/Rest”, is worth the read. One of the strangest and best songs of 2011.
You can check out my Best of 2011 Albums, or my response to NME’s Best 10 Albums of the Past 15 Years, in previous posts.
Who has put out some of your favorite “best of” lists?
