I am currently working on my Top Ten for 2011... and have compiled the following list of all the music that has captured my attention and, in some way, enhanced my life during this year.
I have deliberately avoided 'mainstream' artists and have sought to focus on independent musicians who distribute their music through direct channels like netlabels or Bandcamp. This is not to say that 'mainstream' artists haven't enhanced my life... far from it. I will consider them separately so as to not outshine the folks listed below.
There are some artists listed below who have been wonderfully prolific but for fairness and to ensure equal consideration, they have only been counted once.
The artists and compilations that I am currently considering are listed in alphabetical order by artist:
