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?

a ghost is born is a contender too. only thinking now of albums which would unambiguously be considered "rock", which i agree is a boring where to think about stuff.

I would accept this as possibly the best album of the 2000s (it's at least in my top five), but it don't much rock.

How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb by the rock group U2
― Simply The Bessed! (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 17 December 2014 16:23 (nine years ago) link
If "How to dismantle an atomic bomb" featured "Get on your boots" that would be the perfect album for taking to a desert island, dumping it there then taking the first plane back to civilization.
