The Husband & I had a New Year's ritual for decades We would prepare a list of our top 10 albums of the year & our favorite track from each. On the evening of New Year's Eve, when we would return home after working, we would open our envelopes & starting with #10, we would announce & listen to each of our choices. We would do this while drinking Champagne. We would become rather intoxicated by the time we got to our #1s & we would become woozily sentimental, bursting into tears from spending time with our favorites, which of course often overlapped, but the choices were almost always ranked differently. Then we would make out & have drunk sex while the music played on.
The ritual fell aside with the downloading of tunes instead of buying LPs & eventually moving to CDs. I have not purchased a CD since Amy Winehouse's Back To Black (a nearly perfect album) in 2006.
In that spirit, I offer up my favorite songs of 2011. You don't have to get drunk (well, maybe a little Champagne), make out or have sex... but, I would be interested in your choices for Best Songs of 2011. Care to share?
