It's nearly February and likely the time for lamenting 2011's missed opportunities is behind us. Still, I've never been one to move on quickly. And there were so many great albums I missed in 2011.
Below, in no particular order, are the albums I'm saddest that I missed before compiling my "Best of 2011" list.
The Naked and Famous - "Passive Me, Aggressive You"
Blind Pilot - "We Are the Tide"
Augustana - "Augustana"
Thank you, Joel Goodman. Seriously. I am in love with this album.
The Joy Formidable - "The Big Roar"
Everyone told me. Why didn't I listen?

I missed this the first time around, but I liked the Joy Formidible a lot more than I thought I would. I like Blind Pilot but their first album which I got into way belatedly is dear to me in a way that I haven't fallen for the new one yet.
ReplyDeleteAugustana and I had a falling out when they ruined a Counting Crows show for me at Red Rocks some years back. But that "Boston" song is still cool.
