Best of 2011: Songs (26 - 50)

I work on my favorite songs list all year long, so by the time December comes, the ranking can feel arbitrary. Did I really like this song more than the one below it? Hard to tell, but here I'll just settle on the order that feels right this week.

26. Austra - The Future

27. Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
28. The Rapture - How Deep Is Your Love?
29. Azealia Banks - 212
30. Wild Flag - Future Crimes
31. Rihanna - Drunk on Love
32. Rye Rye f/ Robyn - Never Will Be Mine
33. Bon Iver - Holocene
34. James Blake and Bon Iver - Fall Creek Boys Choir
35. Tennis - Take Me Somewhere
36. Dirty Mittens - Any Time, Any Day
37. AgesandAges - No Nostalgia
38. Rihanna - We Found Love
39. Yelawolf - Throw It Up
40. Fleet Foxes - Sim Sala Bim
41. Childish Gambino - Freaks and Geeks
42. Little Dragon - Ritual Union
43. Lloyd f/ Andre 3000 and Lil Wayne - Dedication to My Ex
