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

The Cars have a new album out, also available on HD Tracks.

Great rock n roll.

Time for an update:

I really, really like the new Wilco. That and Bon Iver (hard to say it's rock) are my favs this year.

I too enjoy the Sheepdogs album, but it was released in 2010.

Ditto Wilco's The Whole Love, excellent on LP and CD. It's probably their best album, and certainly surpasses the last one.

Also enjoying vinyl of Ry Cooder's Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down-- anti-banker depression ballads for the 2010s.
