There are many people that know more about this, we conclude, and people who have found all the great tracks of 2011 that I haven't heard yet. I don't listen to a lot of new music.
That's why this post will not deal with say, the best albums or songs of 2011, but the wonderful songs that I discovered in 2011.
iTunes Top 25:1. The Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel - The Graduate | post
Remember my summer obsession with The Graduate and this song? It's not gone.
Sadly, I haven't found it on youtube yet, but it's on iTunes.
2. Beera - Vijay Prakash, Mustafa Kutoane & Keerthi Sagathia - Raavan | post
My other summer obsession hasn't gone either. I'm still fascinated by this song.
3. Lose Yourself - Eminem - 8 Mile | post
My favorite rap song ever - legendary. I feel really cool when I listen to it. Yo.
4. Singin' in the Rain - Gene Kelly - Singin' in the Rain
Doo-dee-doo-doo... Every time it rains and I'm down, I think of this song.
5. Flightless Bird, American Mouth - Iron & Wine - Twilight
You can say what you want about Twilight, but this song is amazing and I'm so glad I discovered it.
6. Behene De - Karthik & Mohamed Irafan - Raavan
Never heard anything like this before. Rocking and profound at the same time.
7. The Sound of Silence II - Simon & Garfunkel - The Graduate
Almost as good as version two, just a bit pop-ier.
8. Kun Faya Kun - A. R. Rahman, Javed Ali, Mohit Chauhan - Rockstar (not seen)
I seriously start believing Rahman is a God.
9. Rehna Tu - A. R. Rahman, Benny Dayal, Tanvi Shah - Delhi-6
Yes, he is.
10. Meter Down - Adnan Sami - Taxi No. 9211 (not seen)
Rrrrrocking. I don't even know how I found this song some years ago.
11. Suno Aisha - Amit Trivedi, Aditt, Nakash Aziz, Ash King - Aisha
My happy-go-lucky song. Always lifts me up.
12. Eight Days a Week - The Beatles
Hm, must be my favorite song by The Beatles. Nice I finally found out.
13. It's Now or Never - Elvis Presley
This is definitely not my favorite Elvis-song. Don't know how it landed here.
14. Sweet Dreams - Eurythmics
Always loved it as a child, but never knew what it was called. I can always listen to it.
15. New Tomorrow - A Friend in London (not a favorite, but we had to learn it for music class)
16. If You Want Me - Marketa Irglova - Once
My favorite song from Once. So very beautiful.
17. Selfmachine - I Blame Coco
Ever since a friend introduced me, I'm crazy about I Blame Coco. Her voice is unreal.
18. In Spirit Golden - I Blame Coco
Dito. This is just rocking.
19. Lipstick - Jedward (haha, oh my God)
But it's kinda cool. Two gay twins on crack. Sorry if I'm too straightforward.
20. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
My favorite Michael Jackson song. Awesome (a word I don't use often)!
21. Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson
Same here. I'm addicted to these two songs.
22. House By the Creek - Milow
Most people don't know Milow's really great songs, sadly.
23. Ayo Technology - Milow
This one is more known, but I'm still amazed how he could turn that song into this song.
24. Ranjha Ranjha - Rekha Bharadwaj, Javed Ali & Anuradha Sriram - Raavan
Don't even like it that much... but. Yeah.
25. April Come She Will - Simon & Garfunkel - The Graduate
This song should be ranked much higher, I absolutely love it. The lyrics, the melody, the calmness...
Favorite Soundtracks of 2011:Actually this is one award, but these two were both great.
