KEEFY’S TOP ALBUMS OF 2011 PART IV

Whew! If you are still playing along- thank you! The purpose of doing this expansive list was not to exhaust myself, but to really highlight all of the excellent releases. The amount of quality albums in the rock and metal realm this year was far beyond my expectations, making this final list very tough to narrow down. Please support these bands and purchase this music whenever possible since that is what keeps them working! Thanks!
