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.

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.

Off 1 day's listen, I'd say Tom Petty's Mojo. I also really like the recent Peter Wolf CD. Not much else has really moved me, so far.

yep, MOJO is a good disc indeed(and they were good in Philly last weekend!). I'm liking the latest Widespread Panic too!
