Last year in my Top Ten Albums of 2010 post, I spent a little time summarizing each disc and discussing why I thought it deserved a spot on the coveted list. This year, I don't really feel like doing that...perhaps due to my lengthy previous post on fall shows, or maybe because it took too much brain power last year to honestly try using words to do justice to these incredible accomplishments. Therefore, in absolutely no particular order, my top ten albums of 2011:
1. Red Hot Chili Peppers: I'm With You
