Best Rock Album in 2011

I too enjoy the Sheepdogs album, but it was released in 2010.

Ditto Wilco's The Whole Love, excellent on LP and CD. It's probably their best album, and certainly surpasses the last one.

Also enjoying vinyl of Ry Cooder's Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down-- anti-banker depression ballads for the 2010s.

I'm a huge fan of Wilco and Bon Iver but the new FOO is almost a perfect rock album. Sounds great coming through my Creek and out my EPOS speakers. It's always a good sign of a great album when your wife keeps telling me to turn it down.

2011 has been a steller year for rock music!!

It's not over yet - here's what I've got so far:

1. JIM WARD - Quiet In The Valley, On The Shores, The End Begins (CD)
2. WILCO - The Whole Love (LP)
3. MY MORNING JACKET - Circuital (LP)
4. BUFFALO TOM - Skins (LP)
5. RICHARD BUCKNER - Our Blood (LP)
6. J. MASCIS - Several Shades Of Why (LP)
6. RICHMOND FONTAINE - The High Country (CD)

I got the Bon Iver on a whim while at the store based on a review I had read and remembered. It must be an acquired taste, or there is something wrong with my copy.
