Listicle

Best of the best

The best of 2011 lists are slowly but surely making their way to blogs and print. While we have neither the patience nor the interest to link to them all, there are a couple of local lists we've found noteworthy. Local lists contain local albums, and that's what we're all about here at the Wayward Blog.

Steve Wilson, frontman for the Mahoots and manager of Kief's in Lawrence, has been parsing out his 25 favorite albums of the year day-by-day at Reverberations, with the number one record coming on December 31. However, Cameron Hawk of the Dead Girls put up his list of 20 in one big chunk at Record Geek Heaven. There are some recordings you'd expect (Fleet Foxes, Kurt Vile), but there are some gems I'm going to have to go back and reevaluate.

What's your album of the year?

I know it isn't cool with the kaffiyeh set, but I REALLY enjoyed Primus' new album, Green Naugahyde.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO LEE VAN CLEEF?

I agree with Wye Oak, great album. I liked the Bon Iver and Lykke Li albums as well. I don't care for Portugal the Man but they're sound makes me think they should be much bigger than they are.

My top three albums of the year are Kurt Vile, Atlas Sound and Tom Waits.

Company of Thieves - Running From a Gamble

Awesome band that puts on a fantastic live show. You need to see them the next time they come to KC.

I'm with you on the first two, but that Lykke Li album's pretty wonderful.

Portugal the Man or TV on the Radio for sure. Both are seared into my brain.

Unfortunately lots of best of lists will be pitchfork rehashes with shitty bands like Bon Iver, St. Vincent, and Lykke Li
