Amazon.com Best 50 Albums of 2011

Let's hear the voice of the e-commerce colossus, too. These are the Amazon.com staff's choices.
Some general trivia:
- 15 albums here never apparead in any of the other eight charts I posted so far: by Sondre Lerche, Foster the People, Generationals, Cold War Kids, Wiz Khalifa, White Fence, LMFAO, Death Cab For Cutie, Blood Orange, Givers, Tapes'n'Tapes, Oh Land, Thee Oh Sees, Hanni El Khatib (#15) and The Lonely Forest (#14).
- just 3 albums are included in all the nine albums EOY charts I posted so far (including this one): these are Bon Iver, Radiohead and Kurt Vile albums. St. Vincent and Tune-Yards are in all charts but one. PJ Harvey, Fleet Foxes, James Blake and Real Estate in all but two.
- no Top50 for Metallica & Lou Reed's Lulu yet.
- this is the second chart with Adele's 21 at #1 (the other is by Rolling Stone)
Enjoy!
