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

The title of the Warren Haynes record is "Man in Motion"<<

Yup, and it's excellent.

So is the latest from Hot Tuna "Steady As She Goes". Jorma just keeps getting better.

IMO
Thanks for that Jesusa0, I'm looking forward to it. Jorma! Already? Seems like I just bought his latest last week. :-)

Not a solo album.

First Hot Tuna release in almost 20 years.

Guests include Larry Campbell, a very gifted musician IMO.
I purchased the Hot Tuna record at the same time as Man in Motion and I agree. Definitely a long standing talent, as is Jack Cassidy.
Thus Far:

Cave Singers - No Witch
Bill Callahan - Apocalypse
Destroyer - Kaputt
Paul Simon - So Beautiful or So What
Okkervil River - I Am Very Far
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues

All on LP.
