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

"So Beautiful Or So What".

If you're a Paul Simon fan, don't miss this album (includes free hi-res download).

One of the best songwriters of our time and his strongest effort since "Graceland" IMO.

However, it's a stretch calling this a rock album.

YMMV

I agree with Audofeil that Simon's album not be missed and it sounds great on vinyl. I would instead classify the music as pop.

The Cars have a new album out, also available on HD Tracks.

Great rock n roll.

Time for an update:

I really, really like the new Wilco. That and Bon Iver (hard to say it's rock) are my favs this year.
