Best Rock Album in 2010

Couple new LP's to add:

Damien Jurado -- Saint Bartlett's
Leonard Cohen -- Songs From The Road
Jamey Johnson -- The Guitar Song
The Bad Plus -- Never Stop

Love Phosphorescent -- Here's To Taking It Easy. Skip the vinyl (possibly the worst pressing I've ever heard) but the CD is excellent

Not sure if somebody have mentioned 'Diamond Eyes' by Deftones. An excellent album.

Blonde Redhead Penny Sparkle, aptly subtitled "your OTHER WORLD (DREAM) IS INSIDE HERE----> Here sometimes, not getting there, will there be stars, my plants are dead, Cove or prison, Oslo, penny sparkle, everthing is wrong, black guitar, spain." As hypnotic & original dream pop as has been heard in a long while. A few minor defects on the 4AD pressing, but otherwise a demo-quality LP.

Check out the excellent " Lisbon" by The Walkmen and Menomena's Mines1

Deerhunter "Halcyon Digest". Digest is correct as it's stylistically slipperier than Microcastle, ranging from anticipated alt. psychedelia to Conner Oberst-style crooning(but with less angst and a better sense to melody) to only slightly bent surprisingly strong pop and R&B song structures with just a halo of trippiness. Probably the most fertile imaginations of all of the newer bands. Excellent SQ with production values suggested by an illustration of a RTR tape hub on the LP label. Add to that the supplicant transvestite dwarf in a communion dress on the cover and we've got a big winner.

And OH YEAH, Neil Young "Le Noise" is his best in decades. Excellent if expensive Reprise vinyl.
