It was impossible to choose my top 20 (i chose a 1 and a 1a) and I felt like I was shortchanging some great music out there this year. So, I thought it would be a good idea to view the ones that got away this year.

Drive By Truckers consistently put out fantastic music year in and year out. This year their album, the Big To-Do (released in March) and sometimes I feel like they don’t get enough attention. If southern rock / country is your thing, these guys do it really well.  
Hear: [Daddy Learned to Fly](http://www.musicsavage.com/music/01%20Daddy%20Learned%20To%20Fly.mp3)

Titus Andronicus & their album The Monitor was brand new to me this year and I found it shockingly fantastic. Their brand of rock / punk is loud, bombastic and oh so fun. It’s a lo fi rock gem thats a must have.

Hear: [A More Perfect Union](http://www.musicsavage.com/music/01%20A%20More%20Perfect%20Union.mp3)

![](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51HOvM9OnNL._SL500_AA280_.jpg "Broken Bells")**Broken Bells – [Broken Bells](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003E88OY4?ie=UTF8&tag=musisava-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003E88OY4&ref=musicsavage.com)**

Broken Bells hit the scene this year and put together a self titled debut. I guess it wasn’t much of a surprise that Burton and Mercer would make some fantastic music together.

Hear: [The High Road](http://www.musicsavage.com/music/16%20The%20High%20Road.mp3)

**![](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51jFccALw2L._SL500_AA280_.jpg "The New Pornographers - Together")The New Pornographers – Together**

Together was a great album and one that was a breath of fresh air to hear. The duo of AC Newman, and Neko Case proved again to be a fantastic creative core. There are just some awesome pop songs on this album that are as lush as they come.

Hear: [The Crash Years](http://www.musicsavage.com/music/01%20Crash%20Years%201.mp3)
