TOP 50 ALBUMS OF 2011: #50 - #41
It seems 2011 has been a show-and-prove year for a lot of people - both the underdogs and the veterans. There were a lot of sophomore anticipation. Chillwave guys got their second chance to prove that they are beyond the poor slap of the label. Past Indie names had to show their growth. Rap stars quickly gaining names had to bring a lot to the table. Anticipated debuts after big singles, big hype,...
