Another year nearly come and gone.  With 2011 nearing the finish line, we were at buffaBLOG will begin our Best of 2011 coverage.  Our favorite albums, songs, concerts, and locals acts will all be blogged about over the coming month.  Last year, we gave a list of 100 of our favorite songs of the year, but for this time around, we are cutting it in half to give you the absolute essential tracks of 2011.  What has not changed, though, is we still need your help.  Let us know your favorite song(s) of the year in our comment section below, or on our facebook page.  Check back later in the month for our completed list, and continue to read the blog all month, beginning later this week, to see what each writer here at the blog was listening and loving throughout the year in music.
