2011 Dynammy Award Nominees

It's that time of the year again, when a young man's fancy turns to obsessively listing the best music of the past year.

As usual I've chosen enough Song Of The Year nominees to round out a compilation album, while limiting myself to the more traditional five nominees for Album Of The Year and Best Sound Quality.

So, without any further ado, here are this year's nominees:


Song Of The Year
The Decemberists – Don't Carry It All
Cake – Sick Of You
Ron Sexsmith – Late Bloomer
Grouplove – Naked Kids
Cut Copy - Need You Now
Iron & Wine – Half Moon
Elbow – Lippy Kids
My Morning Jacket - Outta My System
James Blake - Limit To Your Love
Paul Simon - Dazzling Blue
The Cave Singers - Distant Sures
Fleet Foxes - Bedouin Dress
PJ Harvey - Written On The Forehead
Lana Del Rey - Video Games
Wilco - Born Alone
The Handsome Furs - Repatriated
The Head And The Heart - Coeur D'Alene
TV On The Radio - You

Album Of The Year
The Decemberists - The King Is Dead
The Head And The Heart - The Head And The Heart
The Cave Singers - No Witch
TV On The Radio - Nine Types Of Light
Wilco - The Whole Love

Best Sound Quality
Elbow - Build A Rocket, Boys!
The Cave Singers - No Witch
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
Ryan Adams - Ashes & Fire


I'll be announcing my own picks on Saturday, February 12th, one day ahead of the grossly inferior Grammy Awards, which means listeners have from now until then to vote on their picks in the Listener's Choice awards, which I'll announce on the same day.

In case you need to refresh your memory, here are all the song of the year nominees, courtesy of YouTube. Just press play and enjoy the playlist. My apologies for the iffy sound quality on some of the videos and the wild fluctuations in volume, but that's YouTube for you.




And when you're ready to make your picks, there are several options. If you're a fan of Dynamic Range Radio's page on Facebook, just click on the SurveyMonkey button on the left side of the page. Or simply scroll down to make your picks.
