The Best Albums of 2011?

2011 has been a great year for rock music, in particular for progressive rock and melodic death metal. While I still hold that 2009 was the best rock music year of recent times I still think there are plenty of great records that should be on your shopping list when those Christmas vouchers come flooding in next week.

Check out my musical review of the year over on my music blog Grumpyrocker.

Welcome to GrumpyDaddy. Here you'll find the trials and tribulations of the (sometimes) grumpy Harry, single bloke (2004), married (2006), father of twins and widower (2007), vicar's husband (2008) and father again (2009). A professional writer by trade, this is the place where I exorcise (and exercise) all my personal nonsense, most often (but not limited to) my experiences as a husband and father of three children. Note - not all the grumpyness is genuine.

- Channel Four Nonsense
  Have you noticed something very wrong with many of Channel Four's output over the last few years? My beef is in the way many of its home-grown reality shows are edited. Channel Four seems to think we all suffer from ADD or that we couldn't possib…

  Kitty crawled for the first time today. For a while now she's been scooting around on her back - propelled by pushing her legs. But today she moved around on her front for the first time using her hands and feet. It's hardly what we really might called…
- Baking in Brentwood
  Crikey it's hot here in England's garden today and it's expected to get hotter. The BBC is forecasting five days of blistering weather here in Essex rising to 31 degrees C on Tuesday. If I was still living in Manchester I'd be experiencing rain today ??…
