Nevermind, Nirvana, 1991.

Yes, U2 and Dylan and others continue to put out decent albums. Josh Ritter's The Animal Years, was my favorite from last year. U2 still can put out one truly great song.

The last truly Great Rock album, Nevermind by Nirvana. A desert island album. :lol:

Perhaps the advent of the Ipod and downloadable music is a hinderance to another great rock album ever coming out.

Try listening to Seether's Disclaimer cd. Crank it up on the hiway and look out for speedtraps....especially Gasoline and 69 Tea but the whole album is one major ear-bleed fest... :lol:

I can't agree, as I consider The Smashing Pumpkins' "Siamese Dream", released in 1993, to be one of the greatest albums ever.

There do seem to have been few albums released over the past 10 years that wouldn't look out of place in this discussion, I'm not quite sure why.

I agree a very good one and they are from my hometown but equal to Nevermind? and they are playing 7/8 shows in Asheville NC, near my home and SF...that should be great.

"The Woods" by Sleater-Kinney

So many great tracks. "What's Mine is Yours" is brilliant

I bought this on Richard's suggestion a while ago, decent but classic I think not. :lol:

I was lucky enough to catch a group called The Hold Steady on Letterman late one night. I immediately bought the album Boys And Girls In America and it's pretty damn fine! They have been likened to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band by the great English magazine Uncut - hard to get a better reccommendation than that :lol:

Did you miss Radiohead as they drove by? Ok, how about Wilco? Green Day? Or as noted in a post before, Smashing Pumpkins?

I noticed, classic, great? Decent, ok....No, but glad to hear from others. :lol:

There is a level above decent. :) If you think these compared to Nevermind, fair enough, I have my doubts. :)

And if you consider 2003's How The West Was Won as the last great rock album, then you can pretty well zep this up :huh:

The only real good eardrum burning rock in the last 10 years is Rage Against the Machine.

There's been a lot of good alternative music, but nothing like what came out in the 70's and early 80's.
