Unfortunately, some December releases didn't make the cut (in particular, new Actress, Pinch and A Made Up Sound)

Grammy nomination as indicator of quality? LOL.

Everyone that's slating this guy's list. It's his opinion man. He's not forcing you to listen to them. If you disagree with him, make your own list. Rather than sit there slagging tracks another guy likes, let people know about songs you do like, maybe they'll pick up on them.

if you honestly didn't understand what i wrote, then maybe should go back to english grade 5? you all take it so seriously.. it's music, music will always evolve in every genre. you're all so worried about appearing cool for listening to music that isn't well known, and here dubstep is starting to get more and more known.. which is obviously the reason you're getting mad. i haven't heard one valid excuse as to why everyone hates skrillex and other 'brostep' producers. you can't say skrillex is shit, sure you can dislike his music, but you can't say that you hate him because he's shit. because we both know that his production skills are out of this world. he came in, changed the game, all hipsters got mad because they can't listen to something that's going mainstream. skrillex is nominated for 5 grammys.. is burial? ask yourself that.

theres way more hipsters jumping on the midrange dubstep fad than there ever has been supporting the foundation sound.

"skrillex has mad production skills that changed the game"

You should have gone over some soundclouds two years ago man, there were small people producing this sound (and even back then getting a lot of hatred for it). The problem was they didn't have a commercial machine behind them to begin with, in that aspect, skrillex was a pioneer.
It's simply not dubstep man. I've never seen Skrillex saying for himself that he's the new child of dubstep. It's marketeers and retarded people with no musical knowledge whatsoever (let alone insight into subcultures including dubstep) who have been making these claims from the beginning.

I go out, with much pleasure, to a Bad Religion concert, they're mainstream as fuck. I go out to see James Blake amongst the hipster crowd, simply because I like his music, I immensely enjoyed M83 when he was touring in support of his debut album (don't like the new one by the way). I have no problem with mainstream and moving amongst it. That's just beside the issue.

He played hard. He's extremely talented. Put underground and the past aside, Sonny set a new standard. It is what it is.
Cinema was the top dubstep track of 2011, simply because it was the top dubstep track of 2011. End of story.
