Thank you, friends. Some really good faces (well, names) here. Let's march on with memorable singles from
Summer!

Thank you, Weird Al, for burning this image into my head.
Alpocalypse, indeed.

Stephen Colbert has done some delightfully bizarre things. This ranks up there.

Demi returned to the scene after a year of absence with a totally different style.

Saw her on
Conan, and her music is in no way smart but it's hard not to like her.

The last of Britney for 2011; three of her singles on my year-end list. New record!

You might know her as half of the Fiery Furnaces. Now she has a solo release!

Björk never fails to impress or bewilder. "Crystalline" successfully did both again.

No longer with The Inc. (lol!), Vanessa went independent with this pleasant track.

Blink-182 has reunited, but their days of 23-year-old aimlessness are long gone.

I think I was about a year late on this one, but I don't care. Rock out the house.

Amy Lee is back. It's really just more of the same, but it's noteworthy I guess.

No banger like "Destroy Everything You Touch" to be found here, but it will do.

Holly Brook became Skylar Grey and well here we are. Full album coming soon!
![](http://tylerc.com/main/posts/bestof2011/single-band.png)
I don't know, they're just so sincere. This song was one of those slow growers.

Mindblowing cover of the Nirvana classic, taken in a totally different direction.

Full speed ahead. No waiting until the 3rd week of January to get this thing done. Memorable singles from
Fall are next!
