UM GOLD 2011
One of my favorite times of the year. What better way to pay tribute to the fantastic year of music and joy Umphrey's McGee has given us, than by overly-critiquing the whole year!
For those of you who do not know what this is, it's simple and fun. Answer each of these questions and send them to
UMGold2011@gmail.com. You can post your picks here, but make sure to email them if you want them to count. Anyone is welcome, the more of us, the better the results are going to be. If I have any of the questions with choices incorrect or missing something, let me know.
Keep in mind, that these questions are labeled as “favorites”, not “best”, so there are no wrong answers, just better choices

Before picking your favorite Jimmy Stewart, I encourage you to listen to this playlist. These are the most common ones from the Best Yams of 2011 thread and if you haven't heard some of these, you are missing out.
