Best Rock Album in 2010


So its finally landed, the third album by Rock duo JohnOssi, with John Engelbert on Guitar and Vocals and Oskar Bonde on drums.

Mavericks - JohnOssi

Last year i had the title Best Rock Album in 2009, so far and had my vote out for Black Keys man Dan Auerbach, this year I will drop the "so far" and stipulate that this is as good as it gets!

Please add your best for 2010, but lets keep it to albums released in 2010.

Local Natives - Gorilla Manor

Some of the freshest new stuff I have heard in awhile.
Bill Kiss released new in 2009, so they just missed this thread:-)

I got the Broken Bells album though, its very nice!
Synthfreek,

Agreed regarding the new Phosphorescent LP. Good stuff and a nice progression of their sound. I've been enjoying the Mimicking Birds LP which is wonderful both sonically and musically - a bit in the Bon Iver meets Joanna Newsome vein. Recommended.

The XX only has their debut album which was out last year. Is there a new album out soon, as their website does not indicate this?
massive attack's new release.....Heligoland. i can't stop playing it. a close 2nd would be "xx" and their new release "x".
I'm totally diggin' the new Phosphorescent album. They've added Memphis style horns and upped the tempo a bit for quite a change to their usual sound. Matthew's voice is still front and center.

Bill, come on Broken Bells are soft pop, Im talking ROCK!!! here:-)<<

Sorry.

Maybe you should wait for new releases from Kiss, Def Leopard, or Thin Lizzy.

Right up your alley.
Chazro, yes that is a tasty group.

Landau, Ford, Haslip, & Novak - Renegade Creation
If this was released back in the day, the band would be touted as a super-group! Good old-fashioned dual gtr blues rock ala The Allmans or Johnny Winter And. Michael Landau's a guitarists guitarist. His Hendrixian tone makes Stevie Ray Vaughn sound like a bar cover band! Robben Ford is a Clapton-level blues player. Jimmy Haslip (Yellowjackets) has been a top 10 elec bassist for decades. Gary Novak's a drumming vet with a sterling resume, and he's having a blast on this record. AND it's recorded beautifully, audiophiles! Check it out!
That's a tough one, no clear winners so far. Some fine ones, not all of them rock & all on vinyl:

Magnetic Fields: Realism
Shearwater: The Golden Archipelago
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists: The Brutalist Bricks
Bill Callahan: Rough Travel for a Rare Thing(Live)

I want to hear David Byrne's Imelda Marcos album but can't bring myself to it. Anyone try?

Though released in '09, vinyl appeared this year:

Neil Young: Dreamin' Man Live '92
Monsters of Folk
Tbromgard, which album is that, KOL coming out with à new in 2010, nice because there 2008 was my favorite that year.
It's still early in the year, but so far....
