Best Rock Album in 2011

Well, 2011 is only a quarter done but these are my thoughts. I have Wasting Time by the Foo Fighters and it is a really strong album. I really like Collapse Into Now by REM from March of this year. In terms of CD's coming later in the year, I have high hopes for the new Stevie Nicks CD in May. Also, the Wooden Birds have a new one coming out in June. One of my favorite rock bands WILCO, have a new release in september. They are one of the more underated bands and Jeff Tweedy is a tremendus songwriter.

Here's another high hope for the new Stevie Nicks album.

So far, my favorite is PJ Harvey's Shake England Shake. But it's early days ...

Mofi,

A friend at Warner Music told me that they are VERY high on the new Stevie Nicks record. That said......

Tonight is a big one for me. Lindsey Buckingham is premiering his soon to be released CD "Seeds We Sow" in Beverly Hills tonight and I just got an invite. In my book, it doesn't get much better than that - I'll report back on the new material tomorrow.

I also expect to receive the new Feelies CD in the next few days. Their first in +/- 20 years.

Marty,

Thanks for the info on Stevie. I LOVE Stevie Nicks. I have seen her many times. One of the audio stores I owned many moons ago, sponsered a concert with her and she signed a lithograph poster for me backstage. She is a very special person and holds a special place in my heart.
