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

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.

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

Both, IMO, are not particularly noteworthy.

"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 have "Low Country Blues" on vinyl.

The recording quality is fair to poor.

Sounds as if it was recorded in a closet. Very muffled and lacking dynamics.
