P<\/span>utting together a list of my favorite tracks for 2011 was a blast. Personally,I managed to see more live music this year than ever before, both in the SF Bay Area and Seattle, and I gorged myself on Indie music at SXSW in Austin this past spring. I pared down hundreds of candidates down to the top 40 songs that I will remember the year by. For me, 2011 was another great music year.<\/p>\n

For many of the tracks, you’ll see that I’ve put pointers to other songs from that artist, as my not-so-underhanded way of adding more to this list.
\nHere we go, starting with number 40<\/b><\/a>.

Guitars dominate the fuzzed out vocals on this standout track from Yuck’s self-titled debut release. Cool kaleidescope effects in the official video, too. As an amusing aside, it was hard not to stare at their hairstyles when I saw them at SXSW in March: the lead singer’s Garfunkel, the drummer’s fro, and the Japanese female bassist’s Cousin It.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
