Best Rock Album in 2011


This was my favorite thread from last year, so figured I would start it afresh.

I'll start:

Foo Fighters "Wasting Light"---best album by the Foos in years

TV on the Radio "Nine Types of Light"---bit more ambient than Dear Science, but the music is first rate

I'm a huge fan of Wilco and Bon Iver but the new FOO is almost a perfect rock album. Sounds great coming through my Creek and out my EPOS speakers. It's always a good sign of a great album when your wife keeps telling me to turn it down.
2011 has been a steller year for rock music!!

It's not over yet - here's what I've got so far:

1. JIM WARD - Quiet In The Valley, On The Shores, The End Begins (CD)
2. WILCO - The Whole Love (LP)
3. MY MORNING JACKET - Circuital (LP)
4. BUFFALO TOM - Skins (LP)
5. RICHARD BUCKNER - Our Blood (LP)
6. J. MASCIS - Several Shades Of Why (LP)
6. RICHMOND FONTAINE - The High Country (CD)

I got the Bon Iver on a whim while at the store based on a review I had read and remembered. It must be an acquired taste, or there is something wrong with my copy.
Notec...thanks for the Richmond Fontaine post. Longtime fan and was not aware of the new album. Another to add on my list!
