In my view, it was a pretty good year for new music. Some good albums by bands that I were looking forward to (Arctic Monkeys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Decemberists); some good work from bands that I had sort of written off and then a whole bunch of great bands that were new (at least to me).

This mix is my top 26 tracks of 2011 in alphabetical order by artist.
