It’s July already and the year is half-way gone. That’s why we think it’s time to reflect on the insane amount of incredible music we’ve gotten so far in 2011. You’ve already seen the long-players that have kept us from pulling our hair out in the office on these hot summer days with our list of The 25 Best Albums Of 2011 (So Far). So now we’re going to take some time out to zero in strictly on the bangers.
We’re breaking down only the standout tracks that have been at the top of our playlists (and yours) all year long. From hip-hop to indie rock and everything in-between, we’ve sifted through all of the yawners to bring you, The 25 Best Songs Of 2011 (So Far).

This list is solid, but no "HiiiPoWer"? That's arguably in the top 10. "Scottie Pippen" by Curren$y and Gibbs could also be on this list.

HAM? Seriously get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. If the song was so great it would have actually done something other then make Jay & Ye go back to the drawing board. Also Dreams Money Can Buy over Marvin's Room? Worst list you guys have done in a while

HAM was ass!! You're right about Marvin's Room being better than Dreams Money Can Buy
Breezy July 5th, 2011 at 11:54 PM
Dude, I dig Marvin's Room but Dreams Money can buy is def a stronger track.
