South Florida's Ten Best Albums of 2011

• I've seen that Mineo kid around since Pipe Clay Rut way back in the day. He's a great musician, but good lord has he drugged himself 58 minutes past retarded :/

• What about highlighting some great bands like Chris Alvy Band, who's late 2011 release "Art Noise" is brilliant... or even hard working up and coming groups like Beach Day, BFGF and Radioboxer.... What about incredible local singer/songwriters like Robert Elias, Karina Iglesias and Joshua Stedman who are constantly gigging?? Seems like some homework needs to be done...hopefully next year the list will be bolder, edgier and more honest.

• Where is the great pop record of 2011??? Half of these artists nobody has even heard of... There is much better talent in South Florida than this list... Sad. Maybe one day New Times will actually go out to shows and judge the talent for themselves... Half of these artists can't even hold a note.

• Glad to see that Protoman love. Don't forget Everymen "When Water's Thicker Than Blood" and Forty Winters "Reflection"!!!

• I listen to Electric Wizard and Bongzilla on the regular. Fuck with it.

• I have to agree, most New Times writers seem to be more in favor of the lighter, jangly indie rock over any of the harder rock. I'm not saying metal, but definitely more rock and not all of this infused with copious amounts of reverb and delay stuff that's littered the South Florida local music scene.

• Who'd you have in mind?

• I take paypals and well concealed cash

• I listened to all the Cds put out by a few real Rock n Roll bands playing real RnR - where's my 10 bucks?

• Millionyoung - Replicants (from ft lauderdale)

• This should be interesting, Ten bucks says you all didnt even listen to the Cds put out by a few local RnR bands playing real Rock n Roll
