weird thing is - obviously this has been said more eloquently by others - when people say rock is dead I think it's in terms of rock as a mono cultural force that dominates the conversation. still plenty of good and great rock/guitar albums out there altho most are shoved into subgenres

i figured the thread was inspired by some notion that "rock is dead" (ha, ha, come up with even one good rock album of the 2000s). i put in a list mostly just to say that notion is wrong.
but i was wrong. thread's legit asking for a single disc choice. got it.

you should have genre tags in your itunes library. sorts out these questions for you.
What's "rock"? Is MIA "rock"? Is Kanye "rock"? If not, why not (other than race/gender/nationality)?
How about Bob Dylan (and I'll take Love and Theft over o.nate's Modern Times)? If not, why not?
Are guitars required? Why? Is a particular tone or way of playing guitars required? You sure? Is syncopation allowed? You sure?
