Daniel's Top 10 Albums of 2011

I put this list together several months ago, but I got hit with a bout of writer’s block and never finished it. Instead of waiting for the inspiration I needed to finish it, I decided to take the opposite approach. I trashed everything that I had written, leaving only the list.
