20 Best Music Videos of 2011

These are my Top 20 Videos of 2011. Listed in order (somewhat).

Since this is culled from a shortlist of about 50 deserving videos, taken from the well over 500 posts this past year of Videostatic.com, I'll be spotlighting some other great clips from 2011 over the remainder of 2011, in addition to updating with the occastional news item.

All the videos can be found in a Best of 2011 YouTube playlist embedded below so you can pretend that I program my very own music video channel.
