11/11/11 Playlist: The Amp’s 11 Favorite Track 11s

11.11.11It's that time of the century again when the calendar strikes all ones, 11/11/11. To celebrate this momentous, once-in-a-lifetime occasion, The Amp has plunged deep into our iTunes to create this playlist, featuring our favorite Track 11s. By no means is this a "best of" list; it's just our personal picks of those pivotal songs that show up toward the end of albums.

The Beatles' "Every Little Thing," 11th song on Beatles for Sale

Nirvana's "On a Plain," 11th song on Nevermind

Radiohead's "Lucky," 11th song on OK Computer

Fleetwood Mac's "Angel," 11th song on Tusk

The Beta Band's "Dr. Baker," 11th song on The Three EPs

EPMD's "You Had Too Much to Drink," 11th song on Unfinished Business

Love's "You Set the Scene," 11th song on Forever Changes

Ghostface Killah's "Daytona 500" featuring Raekwon & Cappadonna, 11th song on Ironman

The-Dream's "Right Side of My Brain," 11th song on Love Vs. Money

That was tough! There are so many incredible Track 11s. Hard to leave Beck's "Debra" off the list. And Guns N' Roses' "Estranged." And Pavement's "Perfume-V," David Bowie's "Rock N' Roll Suicide," Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue," and…
