The Signal's best contemporary music albums of 2011
It's that time of the year when all good radio shows put together their "best of" lists. In fact, CBC Radio 2 is in the midst of voting for the Top 50 Artists of 2011.
That list includes many artists getting play on Radio 2 Morning and Drive. You have until midnight on December 19th to weigh in: VOTE FOR CBC RADIO'S TOP 50 ARTISTS HERE.
Meanwhile, here at The Signal we have a slightly different list. In fact there's a long list of albums we're mulling over, but we'd also love to get your suggestions. What did you hear on the show that you figure deserves a spot on our year end list of favourites?
