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 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!

You messing with my wife again? Why I oughtta....
Richard_stacy - lovely narrative concept album. It's been getting a lot of attention as of late during many late night sessions here in PDX...
Not really new, but the V-Roys just released a compilation CD from their 2 studio albums plus some previously unreleased tracks. For those that missed these guys the first time around, I highly recommend this.
