Best Rock Album in 2011


This was my favorite thread from last year, so figured I would start it afresh.

I'll start:

Foo Fighters "Wasting Light"---best album by the Foos in years

TV on the Radio "Nine Types of Light"---bit more ambient than Dear Science, but the music is first rate
keithr
INXS 2011 remasters. Try the album 'Kick' to start with. Brilliant rock album and amongst the very best recordings for the genre.
Dan_ed,

The Motion Man is a great album.

I have the CD version, even though a little bit compressed, is a fantastic piece of music.

It takes me back to the rhythm and blues from the 60s. Sam and Dave, Aretha Franklin with the fantastic Warren Haynes´s guitar playing and soulful singing.

Two tracks are worth the whole album: "River´s gonna rise" and "Sick of my shadow". The best part of those songs are the magic chords played by Warren.

Not to forget the soulful playing of guys like Ivan Neville and George Potter, Jr. (you know, The Meters).

Regards,

Daniel
The Kills "Blood Pressures"
Yuck "Yuck"
Cat's Eyes "Cats Eyes"

My favorites...so far
