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
keithr
Hmmm....Coldplay? I don't hear that in Bon Iver but I guess I see where you could. Not a big fan of Coldplay's music myself. Like the song goes "...some like KK Downing, some like Glenn Tipton...".
Earlier this week new releases by Robbie Robertson and Booker T. Jones arrived.

Both, IMO, are not particularly noteworthy.
Man In Motion arrived. I've only been able to get to the DVD, but really good stuff.

I'll never forget a Gov't Mule concert I attend on Halloween a few years back. The first set was all of their stuff as expected. The second set, they came out and played the entire Dark Side of the Moon. Really caught everyone pleasantly off guard. YOu can imagine the Halloween spirit was running pretty high that night. Warren is one of the true performers.
