To help celebrate a brand new year, why not update that crusty old music player you’ve been using on your Android device? PowerAMP has long been the go-to music player app for Android featuring full EQ settings, crossfading, stereo “eXpansion,” lyrics support and visual themes to help spice up the look to suit your tastes. We told you guys about PowerAMP’s Twitter contest last week, and apparently, the developer is still very much in the giving mood — this time, giving away Full Versions of their hit app (a $5 value) to 25 lucky Phandroid readers.
To enter for this giveaway, simply leave a comment below letting us know what your favorite band/artist of 2011 was and at this same time tomorrow (8PM ET), we’ll randomly select 25 commenters to win the Full Version of PowerAMP. Just like our previous contests, you must have a valid email address tied to your Disqus account so the developer can contact you with your very own license key. Good luck everyone!
For future giveaways, theme sharing and if you want to keep up on the latest developments with the app, you can follow PowerAMP on Twitter here.

Kid Cudi
Foster the People

CREED with their album Full Circle and what if you use twitter instead?
Bruno Mars
Brantley Gilbert
Adele. It’s nice when someone with talent does well commercially.
Adele – amazing voice, fantastic singing and lovely videos
Adele for me, too.
What sucks is that she would be more popular if she was little over average looking but that’s society for you :( I still like several of her songs.
In 2011 I finally listened to deadmau5 and I love his stuff!
I wish I hadn’t already bought it! Definitely one of those few apps on the market that are worth the money, but free would’ve been even better.
Hey, Chris.
I did get my prizes eventually, all but the Galaxy Nexus. Do you have any idea when they’ll be transferring the funds for it? The contest coordinator said that it should’ve been Tuesday, and there’s a great deal on it for today only that I’d really like to take advantage of.
Thanks!
Spencer (winner for 12/9)

Five Finger Death Punch when I saw them in concert.

Tough choice between Foster the People and Blink 182, depends on the mood. The new Blink record is fantastic. I guess i’m saying Blink 182.
Skrillex has had a phenomenal year!
I liked Cold Play this year.
Wailing Jenny’s
I love Owl City.
Sktillex ftw in 2011
My taste in music (as well as movies, TV, games, comics, and most other things) is pretty odd… Lately I’ve been listening to a bunch of indie stuff inspired by the webcomic

My favorite artist of this year was probably Wale or J.Cole and if they were together then it was even better.

Krayzie Bone!!!!
Toby Keith
M83
Florence & The Machine
My favorite band is Metric, their song The List has a really good beat that’s different than the top hits on the radio. https://market.android.com/details?id=album-Bi6om72jnldb5eeswezvhg52ugq&feature=artist-albums#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDYwMiwiYWxidW0tQmk2b203MmpubGRiNWVlc3dlenZoZzUydWdxIl0.

Odd Future
Alison Moyet
I think Straightener was my favorite band of 2011.
My favorite artist of 2011 is a Korean Rapper
named: Tablo (stage name)
He’s part of a hiphop group called Epik High but he recently released two solo albums called Fevers End Part 1 & 2.
Favorite song from those two albums in Tomorrow Ft: Taeyang.
Y’all should check it out if into Kpop or Korean rap. He wrote all the songs in both albums and most of their group albums are all written by the members.
LMFAO. Why? Two reasons.
1) I love that they piss off music elitists who think that the group takes themselves seriously as opposed to considering themselves a comedy group with catchy songs.
2) My friend and I made Party Rock Anthem our theme song when in Italy this past summer. The song was insanely popular there as well, and hearing it takes me back to partying at the Discotechs until just before the sun rose.
My favorite band of 2011 was Disturbed. Always solid stuff from them.
Tinariwen. Sounds a bit like Kelly Joe Phelps meets Nick Drake meets something bluesy and very Arabic /North African.
Chevelle.
Their new album from this past year was awesome
LMAFO
What’s so funny? O_o
favorite band of 2011: 116 clique
Skrillex
‘LMFAO’ Because of the entertainment elements they bring to the music genre. Their hits Party rock anthem and sexy and I know it are amusing to hear and fun to watch on TV..

Louis Armstrong!
I quit listening to music now, but probably blink-182
David Guetta!
Avenged Sevenfold. The entire Nightmare album was simply awesome.
Congrats! :)
Justin Bieber!
I would have to say Gaslight Anthem.
Another addition for “Adele” (21) as well.
Surprisingly for me, it was Rihanna, when she sang “We found love.” I usually don’t like her, but that song was good.
Adele, love that voice!! LMFAO was fun too, but Adele for the long term! LOL
Adele is lovely, of course, but I’m the first to say Mumford and Sons? Really? They were definitely the most original in 2011…
VNV Nation

The Mighty Mighty BossToneS
Katy Perry – Firework (not the remix version), Lady Antebellum – Need You Know, and Lady Gaga – Born This Way (forget her crazy outfits, she is a great singer)

City and Colour gets my vote for 2011. I’m not sure if Bring Me Your Love was a 2011 release, but “Little Hell” was fantastic.
my favourate artist is enrique iglesious
Definitely… my fav. Artist is Sam Tsui.
He doesn’t do so much of actual original music but he’s a YouTube hit and has the best voice around he has a few originals too
J. Cole is burning up the scene.
PowerAmp is easily one of the best music Apps in the Android market!

Baths, and Social Jet Lag are big artists for me right now.
Favorite artist of all time is tech n9ne
Lecrae!! Because he reps Jesus Christ! He has great God given talent.
Eric Church is the best artist out there!!!

[rant]
I don’t really know who to pick b/c I’ve been out of the scene for quite awhile since Armin, Markus, Ferry, Shah, A&B (ha!), etc. don’t make/play true Trance anymore.
I guess Tiesto got it right – Trance is RIP and commercial is the way to go.
[/rant]
I don’t really have a fav right now, but I’m looking forward to hear Afrojack spin live.
His Dirty Dutch got me fist pumping, head nodding, fingers moving, legs “itching.”
lil wayne
Have to go with Linkin Park. Not a lot of new stuff but still good.
The band I listened to most in 2011 was The Pineapple Thief. Check ’em out!
M83
Foo Fighters
Tech N9ne
Skrillex.
Well i would have to say 213. Nate dogg, Warren G, and Snoop dogg…cant go wrong. May not have been released in 2011 but definatly jammed it the most last year. :-)
In 2011, I listened to more Muse songs than anything else… So, Muse gets my vote!
I would obviously say Lady Gaga with “Born This Way” because it had so much meaning to it…at least to me.
Drizzy Drake!
Zac Brown Band!!!
Ivoryline
Coldplay!!!
Too many great songs not to pick Adele
The rediscovery of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers : )

My favorite artist this year is Gretchen Parlato, an amazing jazz singer!
Gotta be Drake!
Nicki Minaj her unclassy, mind boggaling, midget voice rapping and catchiness brought her to the top working with tons of artists having tons of number ones. So yeah this chick…
Korn
I enjoyed Foster the People and Phoenix.
Rise Against was, is and will always be my favourite.
All that remains
I have to go with deadmau5. It was a close call between him, Daft Punk, and Madeon, though.

Lady Gaga. I suppose Born This Way is my favorite album, though I enjoy most of her songs
Still love BLUR
Britpop!!
Iron Maiden continues to be my favorite artist, they need to do another tour soon lol.
Mumford and Sons. I know that their CD came out in 2010 in the UK but it didn’t reach the US until 2011, seriously an album of the ages. They are so good Bob Dylan played with them at the Grammy’s. Winning.
Even though there music has some funky lyrics, I enjoyed listening to LMFAO
Favorite band: Mumford and Sons!
Congrats! :)

God give me this one

Skillet
Another one for Foster the People

Led Zeppelin, still rockin’ in 2011
I would have to say Linkin Park

Mine is lil Wayne
They have been around awhile but just started listening to them… Skillet
Steven Wilson’s “Grace for Drowning” was a fantastic album in 2011 and is nominated for a Grammy. Wish I could have made to to see him live when he was on tour in the US.
Alexandra Stan
Prince and the Revolution
The Avett Brothers or Slaid Cleves.
Foster the People and The Band Perry where my favorites last year
No Question, Jason Mraz. And he will own 2012. If you haven’t bought the new single “I Won’t Give Up” yet, it is a must!

Pitbull
Marker. (Don’t mind me)

Adele was the best artist who emerged this year for me.
My favorite band this year would have to be aqua due to then releasing a great new album.
Thievery Corporation. PowerAMP is awesome! Thanks for the trial!
Big K.R.I.T. hands down the most talented. Also for the Adele listeners he sampled one of her songs back in 2009 that got me hooked on her. Check out his song ‘Hometown Hero’ for that.
My favorite artist of 2011 is Mac Miller
This year is going to be his year
sign me up.
Definitely Blink-182. Loved Neighborhoods
Brad Paisley!
Explosions in the Sky: Take Care, Take Care, Take Care
I’d have to go with DeadMau5. I love dubstep and he is Da-BOMB!

J. Cole
Drake
Phonte
3 Doors Down
Opeth would have to be my fav. artist of 2011
I’m going to have to go with Tech N9ne’s All 6’s and 7’s album. He took his underground sound to the mainstream masses in a good way.
Coldplay, coldplay and coldplay.. :)

I’d have to go with quite a few others when I say Adele’s new album 21 was my favorite of the year! There’s really just something about her voice (especially at such a young age) that can send goosebumps up my arms!
Happy New Year phandroid peeps!
Cheri’
Adele, she has a very beatiful soulful voice
311
Adele, she has very beautiful soulful voice
LMFAO
Alexandra Stan
skrillex
I’d say Lily Allen! The British accent and actual meaning behind her songs are refreshing!
LMFAO if for no other reason than the Kia commercial when the hamsters get the machine overlords to start dancing. “Party rock is in the house tonight….”
MAC MILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Keane – just not as big a fan of their latest album.
Yea free stuff!
Hate to admit it but LMFAO had some great jams this year
Adele
Linkin Park has always been my favorite band, but this year I’ve enjoyed the new faces like Foster the People, Arcade Fire from 2010, Mumford and Sons, and of course Foo Fighters who I was very glad to hear finally made into the Hall of Fame!
I think that would be Phoenix for me!
would love one.
Graveyard!
Adele was great, but over-exposed. My vote goes for Young the Giant.
