Archived: Fleet Foxes Take 2011 Album of the Year

The 2011 Top 88 Countdown show aired Tuesday and Fleet Foxes have snagged the No. 1 spot with the "Helplessness Blues." Many thanks to all who voted and listened to the Top 88 Countdown show.

"Helplessness Blues" is the second full-length album after the breakthrough self-titled album in 2008. After a couple EPs and a few well-played singles, "Helplessness Blues" is "comparatively deeper, more intricate, and more complex, a triumphant follow-up to a blockbuster debut." (Pitchfork).

Tom Waits, The Black Keys, My Morning Jacket and M83 round out the top five spots. Check out the rest of the albums that made the cut on KVSC’s Top 88 for 2011 and see if your favorite albums made the list.

Thank You Underwriters
