Despite what the radio might have you believe, Adele was not the only artist with a song out this year. As much as we've enjoyed hearing "Rolling in the Deep," "Countdown" and "Party Rock Anthem," played ad nauseum, 2011 was also a bang-up year for the unchosen ones -- the Adeles, Beyonces and LMFAOs of a parallel universe. So in the spirit of making a few new discoveries before the year ends, we've compiled 25 underplayed songs we've been overplaying -- a modest sampling from the year that you can dance to at your new year's eve party, and groan to the morning after.
Check out the songs with commentary one-by-one below, or spin the playlist in full below. As always, please share your favorite songs of the year in the comments.
