Best Rock n Roll album in the last 5 years

Hmmm, define Rock and roll?

Some things I'd consider good albums but maybe not always strictly rock and roll would be:

- Eric Clapton - The Breeze: An Appreciiation of JJ Cale

- David Bowie - The Next Day

- Paul McCartney - New

- The New Basemant Tapes - Lost On The River

- AC/DC - Rock Or Bust (probably the most rock and roll on this list)

- Joe Bonamassa & Beth Hart - Don't Explain

- Slash - Apocalyptic Love

- Halestorm - The Strange Case Of Halestorm

- Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball

- Matt Schofield - Anything But Time

- Heideroosjes - Cease Fire

- Tommy Stinson - One Man Mutiny

- Joe Bonamassa - Dust Bowl

- Flogging Molly - Speed Of Darkness

- Diff - Welcome To Diff's / Second

Agree with the Foxy albums. I also think their self titled is their best, but Church is probably the more rock and roll of the two.

I would argue The Strypes debut album, but thats more cause it doesn't get the attention in the US I wish it did. But its nothing groundbreaking. Steel Panther Balls Out, as silly as it may be, is an incredible hard rock record. Same with Tenacious D's Rize Of The Fenix. Heaven's Basement is good, new Van Halen is good, the new Slash's have been good, The Offspring, Mr. Big, Taddy Porter.

But true best rock and roll album in the last 5 years? I don't think there's an easy answer there. There's been nothing I've heard that I rank with the best of the best. Honestly, the best album of the last 5 years was probably Foo Fighters Wasting Light.

Its pretty hard to think, but well your list sums it up all

The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream

We have a winner

If you're talking rock and roll in a GNR or AC/DC vein, I'd offer "Like Clockwork..." as a fantastic record as well.
