We've had a record-breaking response and great interaction about last week's release of UTR's Top 11 Gourmet Albums of 2011.  We also asked our panel of critics to choose their individual Top 6 Gourmet Songs of 2011.  These are purely subjective choices on what was the most artistic, meaningful, & poignant tracks from last year -- even if not the most "popular."  Since individual choices vary wider, we are listing all the choices instead of one collaborative list.  Without further ado, here are the Top Gourmet Songs of 2011. 

[Song qualifies for consideration if from a Christian songwriter/artist and was released between 11/30/10-11/30/11.]
