2011 records of the year

On the whole this was an amazing year for music and whilst i would have loved to have made a top 50 (or a top 200!) it would have just been a case of listing everything i listened to this year and whats the point of that?.
These are the 20 albums i loved this year (if you want to see my top 20 punk/emo records head over here http://fortheloveofpunk.com/top-ten/top-ten-2011/  I'm at the bottom), the 20 records that I came back to throughout the year.
