Upgrade to the new Spotify ASAP! It’s got a new search bar that will let you find Snozberry playlists easily!
When you search “Snozberry Fields Forever” now, you’ll be able to find and listen to the Best of 2011 Playlist from the previous post.
Stay posted here and on Facebook for news about future playlists.
WARNING: Top heavy list is top heavy.
However, despite the dramatic drop off* after the midway point, 2011’s Tops provided a cornicopious amount of cohesive albums, sticky from start to finish. Look out below!

I’m not even gonna try talking about the smooth factor on this
MR. LITTLE JEANS - THE SUBURBS (ARCADE FIRE Cover)
This came on XM as I pulled up to my house last night. Stayed in my driveway a few extra minutes to hear it play out. All sorts of delicious.
THE WEEKND - ROLLING STONE
New track released minutes ago without warning. Just the way I like it!
XO
FUTURE ISLANDS - WALKING THROUGH THAT DOOR
Album’s in the heaviest of rotations.
INCUBUS - ADOLESCENTS (New Video)
DEATH CAB - TRANSATLANTICISM
Is there an album that has three consecutive songs better than Tiny Vessels, this and Passenger Seat?
CEE LO GREEN (Feat. WIZ KHALIFA) - BRIGHT LIGHTS BIGGER CITY (Remix)
It’s Wiz, kid! Quick little verse.. hopefully brings much more well-deserved attention to Cee Lo’s The Lady Killer. One of last year’s favorites.
KANYE WEST - COACHELLA 2011 (Entire Live Set: 98 Minutes)
JUPITER SUNRISE - STEAL ME
Old favorite <3
THE WEEKND - LOFT MUSIC
I was in the second I heard the Beach House sample. Gimme dat. Mixtape is really really nice. Download the whole thing, House of Balloons, here.
