Here are my personal 50 favourite albums of 2011. It contains very few of the albums that you'll find in most music publications' lists of the year (particularly near the top), but clearly that's because they're all wrong and not because I've just got a strange and non-populist taste in music! Actually, no, I like my strange and non-populist taste in music. So here it is...
