These are, in my humble opinion, some of the best songs released in 2011, in no specific order. I could make a very long list of songs, but I figured I’d keep it short with just the bare essential jams of 2011. All of these songs gave me goosebumps the first time I heard them and most of them still have that effect on me today. If you wish to hear more amazing tracks, be sure to check out some of the albums and EP’s that scored high in my list of the best albums and EP’s of 2011 or in this year’s Readers’ Poll - plenty of great tracks to be found on those releases too.
