Best Rock Album in 2013

New Jimi Hendrix is pretty good. Real smooth recording.

Phosphorescent...nothing else even close. IMO that "star" was born about 10 years ago with their debut album A Hundred Times Or More.

Love Phosphoresent

Just listened to some tracks on the Local Natives "Hummingbird".

Really? Best of 2013? Is this what we've come to?

Shakey

So far - to this point in the list - the below would be worthy additions to ANY "Best Lists" however, this years have noted exceptions:

- Jimi Hendrix - PEOPLE HELL & ANGELS (Not technically new 2013 but contain 12 previously unreleased studio tracks, gatefold, hand numbered, 200 gram pressing. I like it it rocks!)

- Son Volt - Honky Tonk (A great rock band to the core but this album is not rock! I love this record.)

- The Eels - Wonderful, Glorious (Like the Eels and this ones not bad... but would not put it in the 2013 best list).

- Sound City - Real to Reel (mediocre over all; except the Homme contribs. Paul McCartney's "cut me some slack" gets old quick so, no Paul I aint cutting you jack. Retire already.)

- The Flaming Lips - The Terror (bit a a disappointment)

Anxiously Awaiting:
- COLIN HERRING's new one (date:???) and
- DRAGOON - THIS GALAXY IS BUT A NURSERY (really can't wait for this one) out 5/7.

Out Now, Honorable Mention:
- MONAHANS: Leveler [TEG-004] Is/was a bit a disappoint with more mediocre songs on it then not. But the strong ones keep me loving this bands (formally know as Milton Mapes)
- MOUNT MORIAH: Miracle Temple (Country Rock) [MRG466]

The year ain't even half over so... theres still hope yet (just not with the majority of the suggestions made here so far).

Here's to living in a wonderful age of music making where we have so many choices! *clink* *gulp* *burp* *ahhh*
