Midcoast Station listens to a lot of music and 2011 had lots of great hits to cover our every mood and diverse loves of genres.

Synth heavy electro pop acts like M83, Charli XCX, Neon Indian and The Wombats got us dancing. We fell in love with the beautiful sounds of folksy acts like Typhoon, The Civil Wars, Lindi Ortega, etc. We found some guilty pleasures in pop rock with Hot Chelle Rae. We loved the mad rhymes and beats of rap and hip hop groups such as Childish Gambino and Gym Class Heroes.

To help share our 2011 favorites, we’ve put together a Spotify playlist with 50+ songs from artists/albums we fell in love with in 2011. Sure the regular blog favorites made it on here, but you might find a few surprises as well. The songs are in no particular order as they’re all great tracks (we didn’t want 50 #1 songs) and you can see all the song titles and artists below.
