no, dont

Whiney and them talk about rock shitting the bed in this year's year end list thread but I'm p sure they're talking about some hybrid genre that sounds like Springsteen & the 'Mats spliced together that is guaranteed to shit out the greyest sounding music ever

"Hi, I'm Fred and my favorite bands are Japandroids, the Gaslight Anthem, and the Hold Steady. Also, I shit the bed."

this is going south fast

goon y u so mean and too late I already did it

striktly to nip list making in the bud buddy

fair, I wasn't gonna go further than that

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

rock will never die everyone knows

Idk Kid A is prob too IDM for this, so I'll go with High on Fire - The Art of Self Defense

jim o'rourke - insignificance

tinariwen -- aman iman : water is life
the clientele -- the violet hour
exploding hearts -- guitar romantic

Could you imagine if you asked someone what they're favorite color was, and then they went, 'Oh there's so many! Purple... white... gold... chartreuse... periwinkle... navy blue... dark blue... blue-green..."

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.

Whiney what's ur favourite colour

brand new: the devil and god are raging inside me
blink 182: s/t
at the drive-in: relationship of command
against me!: new wave
jimmy eat world: bleed american
propagandhi: supporting caste
thrice: beggars
taking back sunday: louder now
manchester orchestra: mean everything to nothing

folie or rated r is the correct answer though

flagging all posts of more than one album

good

Say Anything - Is A Real Boy

oh yeah that one

brad of all the TBS albums you could pick louder now is yr go to?

bold stance I don't agree with it but I do appreciate it

which is a very arbitrary rubric i assembled just now

but also yeah i like it more than most of their records tbh

torche "meanderthal"

Oops meant to say: 7.5/10

What happened to Spring Heel Jack? I thought they would be doing movie soundtracks by now.

everybody makes "metal" music instead of "rock" music these days, what a joke. tells you all you need to know, really (flings two pennies at thread)

xp I wouldn't be surprised if they were. My favourite shj album isn't even on that list (the one w Evan Parker)

Blood Visions - Jay Reatard

Is this nominations for a poll?

not listened to any of their thirsty Ear stuff for years. Nostalgically I still hold a candle for Busy Curious Thirsty, I really loved it at the time.

xxp

That AMT album is lots of fun, great song titles too iirc

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?

You know why the mom and pops really died out man? dragcause they segregated """genres""" man exhale

This thread was a demonstration of Ilm's terribleness when it was an embryo in the even worse Strokes v Spoon poll

i like this thread because everyone is being coy and not mentioning "boxer"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02tWZNQ6n38

Thursday - War All the Time

wait, i might prefer alligator

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzhNdCxhK28

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.

Broadcast and The Focus Group - Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age

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.

P.S. This is rock for those who are confused about rock.

Accept: the ultimate argument settler.

turn on the bright lights or antics

harvey milk - life... the best game in town

wire - send

Weezer - Green Album

one of the first 2 strokes albums or something by fall out boy

or blink 182's greatest hits

andrew k - partly hard

folie a deux was already repped upthread so that takes care of that

andrew k - partly hard

semi with u here

Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun

The Ark - We are The Ark

the Darkness - Permission to Land

Hold Steady - Separation Sunday

Hot Snakes - Audit in Progress

^ rock album of a 2000

How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb by the rock group U2

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.

...but its still on yr iphone HAHA RIGHT FELLAS

Relationship Of Command

Things nobody can escape from, death and U2.

That's only true if you have itunes though.

partially engorged on this when it came out

the best rock album of the 2000s was a double-album & a compilation, The Dirtbombs' If You Don't Already Have A Look

honorable mentions for Interpol - Antics, ATDI - Relationship of Command, Fugazi - The Argument, Sleater-Kinney - One Beat

... shit I forgot Blood Visions

no, you were right. d-bombs comp is the best answer yet.

Jim O'Rourke - Insignificance

Almost true. Only about half/one third of the O'Rourke album really rocks.

Other stuff I like that hasn't been mentioned yet: first two Constantines albums; second A Frames album; Desaparecidos

A Perfect Circle - Mer de No ms or Thirteenth Step. I know people have varying preferences around here.

Leviathan and Crack the Skye both contenders.

three cheer for sweet revenge
tied with ..is a real boy for ones i actually still listen to the most

Guitar Romantic

Marnie Stern -- This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That

<3 that Marnie stern record, good pick
