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

Saw the Colbert appearance and can't agree. Bon Iver is a slightly more elegant avant garde variation of Coldplay sentimentality.

Hmmm....Coldplay? I don't hear that in Bon Iver but I guess I see where you could. Not a big fan of Coldplay's music myself. Like the song goes "...some like KK Downing, some like Glenn Tipton...".

Earlier this week new releases by Robbie Robertson and Booker T. Jones arrived.

Both, IMO, are not particularly noteworthy.
