Best Rock Album in 2010

So its finally landed, the third album by Rock duo JohnOssi, with John Engelbert on Guitar and Vocals and Oskar Bonde on drums.

Mavericks - JohnOssi

Last year i had the title Best Rock Album in 2009, so far and had my vote out for Black Keys man Dan Auerbach, this year I will drop the "so far" and stipulate that this is as good as it gets!

Please add your best for 2010, but lets keep it to albums released in 2010.

Nobody told you. It died in 1980. Only AOR radio keeps its bloated corpse alive. Oh, and the odd tour....:)

my new nominee is the besnard lakes, "the roaring night". they work the same beach boy complex melody/beautiful harmony thing as seemingly every other acclaimed indy band (animal collective, grizzly bear, fleet foxes, etc.), but they meld really nice, spacey guitar workouts that invoke pink floyd or the church. very well recorded; nice stuff.
i've also revaluated "broken bells", which is apparently on constant rotation at every starbucks in the universe. the songs took awhile to seep in, but it really is a great record.

Yeah, Besnard Lakes may be the best yet from the Montreal collective scene. Dense energetic orchestration in the vein of Arcade Fire, but with tighter R&R focus. Also some great girl-group vocals. I spun this up after listening to Chris Bell's "I am the Cosmos"-- and heard more of Big Star's genius in Besnard Lakes than in Bell's mostly dismal cul de sac.
