Vote for your favorite albums of 2011 on NPR...

(From NPR)  You've seen NPR Music's picks for the albums of the year, now it's time to tell us yours. Below, you'll find a list of about 250 albums released in 2011 that we've talked about on All Songs Considered or covered elsewhere on NPR Music. Think of it as your chance to stretch this conversation out for a few more days, or just to tell us how crazy we were to leave your favorite album off the list.

Of course, even 250 albums doesn't come close to covering the range of great music released this year. If you don't see your picks in the list, you can write them into the form at the bottom of the page.  Voting will remain open until 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, December 13. We'll tabulate all the votes and reveal your top 100 on next week's episode of the show. - VOTE HERE!

I voted (quickly, knowing I will think of more):
  • Adele - 21
  • Lucinda Williams - Blessed
  • Trombone Shorty - For True
  • Gregg Allman - Low Country Blues
  • Black Keys - El Camino
  • Low Cut Connie - Get Out the Lotion (write-in)
  • Justin Townes Earle - Harlem River Blues (write-in)
  • Steve Cropper - Dedicated, A Tribute to the 5 Royales (write-in)
  • Dex Romweber Duo - Is That You in the Blue? (write-in)
  • Raphael Saadiq - Stone Rollin'
Others: Sonny & the Sunsets-Hit After Hit; TV On the Radio-Nine Types of Light; Gil Scott-Heron-I'm New Here; Feist-Metals; Shelby Lynne-Revelation; Tom Waits-Bad As Me; Yo Yo Ma-The Goat Rodeo Sessions; John Prine-The Singing Mailman; Strange Boys-Live Music

I have no favorite albums/CDs of 2011. It would be better to send your favorite top 10 albums of all time

I have done that on occasion, but the NPR survey is for 2011.
