Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Well yo fucking ho ho! Once again it’s that time of the year when everyone on the internet has to chime in as a rock critic and give their year end best of lists. I know you might be expecting me to be sick of this ritual, but the fact is why deny my “obsession” with music blogging for the holidays? Fuck, the truth is I’m always rating and re-evaluating the current landscape of rock n roll.
So, what a better way to start the holiday season than to review this year’s list of Idelic Hits and create a hyper-playlist of the best in new songs that graced the Idelic airwaves in 2011. Love ’em or leave ’em for the bottom half—it’s the top Idelic Hits of 2011!
