One of the best things that Larry has taught me throughout our 8 1/2 year relationship was to broaden my appreciation of music. I've always loved music and even come from a musical family, but before I met Larry, I had little experience with music that wasn't on the radio. Before we were dating, Larry would often stop by my desk at work to bring me a CD to listen to. It was always a band I had never heard of and it was always awesome. Through this musical courtship, Larry won my heart, and nine years later he is still introducing me to amazing music.
I often refer to Larry as my own personal Pandora. Tell him a band you like, and he will rattle off half a dozen more that you might enjoy. He's always right. He's also a musical Wikipedia - through his love of reading musical memoirs and biographies, magazines, and blogs, he knows more about music than anyone I know.
Obviously, there's no one I'd trust more to write a guest post about the best music of 2011 than Larry! I've always thought he should be a music critic/blogger, so here's his debut...

Larry's Favorite Music of 2011
I’ve always loved year-end ‘best of’ lists. They’re either a cheap validation of my tastes (or lack thereof) or a way to discover some things that I’ve missed over the past fast and furious 12 months. So in that spirit, here are my Favorite Albums of 2011.
10. Portugal. The Man | In the Mountain In the Cloud
I saw Vetiver earlier in the year at Iota. For one reason or many others, I can't say that I remember a
whole lot of that experience, other than wanting to hear more. Very mellow tunes - with a a couple of
left turns thrown in.
For a lot of long time Iron & Wine fans, Kiss Each Other Clean is a major fall from grace.
Production and instrumentation are very different from Sam Beam's earliest efforts. However, all of
the literal bells and whistles work for me.
I flirted with The Decemberists in the past, but never went all the way. This one just clicked with me
and I listened to it more than anything in 2011. I love the country-ish vibe. Perfect.
Song: Down by the Water Down By The Water by The Decemberists on Grooveshark
P.S. I totally agree with Larry's choice of The Decemberists' The King Is Dead for #1 album of the
year, however my favorite song is Rox in the Box. --RR Rox In The Box by The Decemberists on Grooveshark
Nice list, Larry! I plan on checking these out today on Spotify. I need to introduce you to my husband - it sounds like you guys would have plenty to talk about. He loves all kinds of music and likes to shout at the music TV station when they list erroneous factoids about the bands.
