Lazlo's Top 100 Albums of 2011 It's that time of year again, and below is my top 100 albums of 2011. As with previous years, let me make the following comments before you see my list: It is hard doing this list, because: - It's totally subjective. The list below is strictly my opinion. I'm just another music fan making a list. - My list is only comprised of albums I've actually listened to from beginning to end. Many albums come out each year, and while I listen to thousand albums each year there are likely many good albums I haven't had the chance to listen to. - This year was more difficult than ever, with so many great albums, that a lot of albums I enjoyed did not make the list solely because it seemed like doing anything more than the top 100 albums was overkill. But I just want to make sure everyone knows there are lots of great albums I've played on my show this year that narrowly missed this list. So with that in mind, below is my top 100 albums of 2011 1.
