There is a radio show on CBC here in Canada that occasionally does a feature called SYNTH: Songs You Need To Hear.
Now, I can't say to someone, "You'll like this song" (or book for that matter) because I can't presume that others will share my taste in music (or books), so it is safer to say, "You might like this" and if they don't like it, so be it.
Maybe you will find a new favorite.

Who had the most hits in 2011? Katy Perry? Adele? Bruno Mars? Lady Gaga?
LMFAO had a few.
In 2011, the Winnipeg Jets made their return to the city. More accurately, the Atlanta Thrashers were bought and moved. The original Jets were bought in 1996 and moved to the hockey hotbed of Phoenix, AZ.
FYI: After many unsuccessful years, poor attendance, and arena issues, the Coyotes were moved to the other hockey hotbed, Salt Lake City, UT, where they will play under the soccer-style name of the Utah Hockey Club.
But why tell you this in a music-themed post? A local radio station remixed the Party Rock song to celebrate the Jets return.
"Pumped Up Kicks" is a song by American indie pop band Foster the People. It was released as the band's debut single in September 2010.
"Tonight Tonight" is a song by American rock band Hot Chelle Rae. It was released as the lead single from their second album Whatever on January 25, 2011.
Did I miss any of your favorites from that year?
