• 2011 was a great year for music

This week’s Friday Office Party Spotify Playlist is a bit of a flashback. But only one that takes us 365 days into the past. Our 2012 end of the year lists will be coming out in the Source in a couple of weeks and that includes the top 200 albums of the year. So it seems only fitting that we take a little look back at last year’s top 100.

Here are a few songs from that list sure to make you care a little less about your boring desk job. And if you feel like wasting even more time at work, you can always dig a little deeper into the entire list of last year’s best. Just stare at your computer screen while you do… it’ll still look like you’re working.
