Boston Accents Top 10 songs of 2011

Let's get this out of the way, right at the top: lists that rank musicians and artists are, for the most part, fairly useless. But as part of this week's massive Year in Review coverage in the Boston Phoenix, we also decided to rank the Top 10 Boston Accents songs of 2011, an eclectic mix of rock and pop that properly reflects the WFNX local music program's playlist over the past 12 months.

If you've tuned in to the show -- which airs every Sunday night at 8pm -- then this roundup should come as no suprise. We'll spin most of this list on Sunday, Christmas night, for a special holiday edition of Accents, and in the meantime, catch up on our month-by-month breakdown of the Year in Boston Rock over on our music homepage.
