This was possibly the most difficult thing we’ve ever done. We had an amazing year of entertainment, and the bands that passed through put out an outstanding collection of music. What started as a list of about 150 releases (that we could think of or remember) was painstakingly whittled down to this list of 25 albums. We made an attempt to rank them, but found it entirely too difficult. So here, in no particular order, are our top 25 albums released in 2011 from bands that played the OT in 2011.

The Poison Control Center – Stranger Ballet (Afternoon Records)
The Poison Control Center - Torpedoes On Tuesday

Chris Bathgate – Salt Year (Quite Scientific)
Chris Bathgate - No Silver

Slothpop – Slothpop (Self-Released)
