best rock albums of 2008?
 

A lot of the albums I keep seeing very mellow, poppy, or ambient music.

What just flat out really fucking rocked? I want to hear some really rocking shit.

I haven't heard any other than Polysics- We Ate the Machine that really rocks. Perhaps they're the most rocking band out there right now.

Deerhoof can rock just as hard, but they're new albums pretty laid back.

Nouns-No Age
other than Polysics, that's about all I've got.

Yeah, I've got that one
not nearly as rocking as Polysics though

Blood On The Wall - Liferz

It's really good

The new Harvey Milk RAWKSSSSSSS!!!!!!! \m/

Dunno why that was all in bold, but okay.

Anyway... rock on.

'ROCK ON' WITH GEOLOGY!

yes

For an album that rocks in a completely unexpected way, check out Zdzisław Piernik and Piotr Zabrodzki - Namanga ...

It's jazz, classical music, electroacousic improvisation, and chamber music rehearsal.... but somehow it fucking rocks too.

Also, Hairdryer Peace by the Hospitals rocks as well, but it's a very unfriendly kind of rock.

Also.. duh... Boris - Smile!

If you want to dig back a few more years, listen to Coachwhips and Number Girl. I always reccomend them to those looking to rock.

grand magus - iron will
moss - sub templum
motorhead - motorizer

all rocked.

I know about the older Polysics stuff AtSonicPark, who do you think I am? But there are a few songs on the new one that really rock. Like Rocket.

god, i didn't listen to anything this year. mostly singles.

my favorite was deerhoof only because i got to see them again. or vampire weekend.

polysics album was appalling.....

as for rock albums... maybe daemain frost or ty segall or maybe even metallica or vivian girls or nick cave and the bad seeds.... rock is such an overused word....too vague...

I actually tried to look that up
man I feel dumb
:o

yeah Hospitals and Harvey Milk, as has been mentioned...

also:

Wavves
Grails
Abe Vigoda
Black Pus
Goslings
Raccoo-oo-oon
Bardo Pond
Eat Skull
Brainbombs

Marnie Stern
Ponytail
Wavves
Boris
Melvins

i'm soooooooooooooooo behind.
shame on me.

Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Thee Oh Sees, Eat Skull, Pink Reason, Warmer Milks, Sic Alps, Psychedelic Horseshit, etc.......

pink reason didn't have an album out in 2008.

am i the only one who doesn't really get into Deerhoof? i mean, i like greg saunier, i recognize his skill. i like their albums for the most part... but i never feel like listening to them... i guess they seem kind of boring to me...
