Why do we like this?
I've kind of become the resident "classic guitar-driven indie rock" writer here at Indie Shuffle, and I happily shoulder the responsibility. I love me some LCD, will paint my face with the best of them for tUnE-YaRdS, and have been known to dance on stage with Girl Talk... but when it comes to my day-to-day, give me a guy, a guitar, and the kinds of hooks and melodies that just don't get old.
In that spirit, here are my 10 favorite indie rock albums of 2011 -- from the punk rock-influenced to the folk, these are the tunes I just can't get out of my head.
