I know this site is primarily for electronic music and the like, but a really good ROCK album is Elemental by Tears for Fears... I know what you're saying "Tears for Fears?" but yes... it's nothing like the 80's pop Tears for Fears... plus, it's really a solo album, as the group broke up, but one guy kept the name... anyways, if you don't like it, that's cool... but you should check it out... Goodnight Song is absolutely gorgeous, and Break it Down Again is so funky and cool... anyways, I like it, so you should check it out sometime... |

Also check out Crystal Planet by Joe Satriani if you want some sweet guitar work... Love Thing is the most beautiful guitar playing I think I've ever heard... anyways, check these albums out if you want something other then electronica... :) |

I dig guitar, I'm learning Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing right now. |

I like more melodic, technical guitar, rather then the mad, super fast stuff... Hendrix is great, and Jimmy Page and all them, but my favorite guitarist is Dave Gilmour... he is so good... he doesn't play super fast, but the notes are always played excellent, and they each matter... some of the solos on Divison Bell are perfect... yes yes, it's not as good as the floyds earlier Waters stuff, but some of the solos on it are stunning!!! |

I agree, Gilmour is my fave. Metalica, for example, play SUUUUPER fast, but it comes away hollow. Davey-boy is god. |

Pink Floyd went downhill as soon as I got kicked out. You want a good rock album? Get the new Strokes album. Best rock album this year, that's for sure. |

The Strokes? Heh, I like the song Last Nite, but it seems like a lot of misplaced hype to me... Rolling Stone is always looking for the new band to save rock and roll, and it's funny how they always praise bands like the Strokes and the like, who do the exact same music that was done ages ago... Everyone compares them to The Velvet Underground, and then they say they're the best... why not praise a guy like Richard James for saving music... instead of looking for a band to repeat what's already been done... |

not that I think they suck... I haven't even heard the album... but it seems ridiculous that Rolling Stone does the same thing with each new band, and really, there isn't anything super fantastic about any of these bands in my opinion... |

I wouldn't necessarily say Metallica's music is hollow... it's just a different mood... songs like One, Nothing Else Matters, and The Unforgiven say are absolutely beautiful... |

Cause Aphex never saved music, no one saved music. That's the dumbest shit. I thought it was Radiohead who saved rock? Fuck Rolling Stone, and fuck critics, The Strokes are a wicked rock band. Beats the boring shit that comes out nowadays for the most part. |

The stuff I´ve heard from the Strokes is really nice, esp "NYC Cops". I´m not that into guitars but I really like smooth afropop guitars (remeniscent to the guitars in "Ralome" by Plaid). Bliss. |

Metallica has some awesome solos and shit, but SO many of them just sound so redundant. Just there for the sake of a solo, and to show off how fast Hammett can play. I like Metallica, but the solos don't impress me anymore. |

I love Led Zepplin... I have their 4 disc boxed set... blah, I hate Oasis... one of the most annoying bands ever... I love disc three from the boxed set... (if you own it you'll know what's on it)... In my time of dying is a great song!!! |

I believe disc III is the "Physical Graffiti" stuff... very great band. My favorite .... so technically this thread shouldn't be called "a GOOD rock album" but rather "an EXCELLENT rock album" |

yeah, I don't own any of their real albums, but I do think it's a lot of Physical Graffeti stuff on disc III... disc II is good as well... I hate the song Kashmir, but other then that Disc 3 is awesome... |

I love Zep, kind of. Sometimes I hate them. Robert Plant is the worst vocalist ever, and almost ruins it for me. |

well, sometimes I love Plants singing, while sometimes I hate it... he's got a great bluesy, rock, voice... sometimes it does get annoying though... |
