Out of curiosity, I compared my top 23 albums of 2011 with some of the other popular lists to see how much overlap there was.   The answer is not much.  So, if nothing else my list could be some new music for you.

• No overlaps with the 50 from Pitchfork.
• No overlaps with the 50 from Spin
• No overlaps with the 50 from Paste
• No overlaps with the 50 from NPR
• No overlaps with the 50 from Stereogum
• No overlaps with the 30 from GorillavsBear
• One overlap with the 20 from Punknews (Joyce Manor is #1 at Punk and #9 on GT)
• No overlaps with the 40 from MetaCritic
• No overlaps with the 100 from eMusic
