Best Rock Albums of 2012

The new Django Django album is excellent, as are the new Wedding Present, Soundgarden and Dinosaur Jr albums, in addition to others mentioned here (and others that I'm not thinking of right now).

So, not exactly a bumper crop, but like any year, there have been some good albums.

Jack White - Blunderbuss
ZZ Top - La Futura
Lindsey Buckingham - One Man Show (Live)

are the 3 that are still in heavy rotation for me.

Lots of good alt. albums this year but fairly slim pickens in rock.

Soundgarden- King Animal. Keepers of the flame of Seattle grunge.

Neil Young-- Psychedelic Pill. The long songs take it.

Beach House-- Bloom. Best electropop.

Beachwood Sparks-- Tarnished Gold. The Byrds for today.

Bob Mould-- Silver Age. Aging well.

Dirty Projectors-- Swing Lo Magellan. Cerebral & nervy like The Talking Heads.

Patti Smith-- Banga. Forever young and authentic.

All on LP.

Forgot Dr. John-- Locked Down. It's really a Dr.J/Dan Auerbach album.

Tame Impala – Lonerism (retro 60's)

Grimes – Visions (Canadian electronic)

Jack White – Blunderbuss

Beach House – Bloom
