The ratio of posts to lists is far too high in here.

 

[TripItUp]

Just observing....I've been listening to a lot of the acts mentioned...taking it all in.

The "what is rock" debate was inevitable. I mean, that's vintage FFA.

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

AM - Arctic Monkeys
Earth Rocker - Clutch
Elephant - the White Stripes
Futures - Jimmy Eat World

Indy rock, groove rock, garage rock, and emo rock.

Honorable mention: Transgender Dysphoria Blues - Against Me! (punk rock)

 

[Dwayne Hoover]

This is a really good question. Without doing too much serious thought this is what came to mind

5 Self Titled - Fuzz
4 Amputechture - The Mars Volta
3 Sleeping Through the War - All Them Witches
2 Like Clockwork - Queens of the Stone Age
1 Self Titled - Them Crooked Vultures

You really like Queens of the Stone Age, huh?

I think they are a great band. Josh Homme kind of turns me off but the music overrides that

 

[Manster]

Taylor Swift? I mean she's 100% pop......I mean maybe folk I guess......rock? That does not seem like the proper genre for her.

That was me giving a nod to my fourteen year old daughter. We listen to it all the time. Wasn't even thinking about it genre wise.

All good......it's cool that you guys enjoy her music together! At the end of the day, that's all that matters

 

[Manster]

I've never had much use for genres when it comes to music.

I tend to agree.......but there are some main ones. I mean rap, rock, pop, country, maybe classical.....like NWA or Eminem shouldn't be on a top five rock list.....or country.....or classical

5. Bjork-Homogenic
4. Declan Patric McManus OBE-Hey Clockface
3. Kendrick Lamar-Damn
2. Beach House-Bloom
1. FKA Twigs-MAGDALENE

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Let’s just say anything with a guitar, bass and drums qualifies.

Good, I will prepare a list of the 5 newest Cannibal Corpse albums.

It's pretty interesting what some would consider "rock"

You're not from Cleveland are you.

No kidding. The HoF set an interesting standard.

shove it under old/new
Or call it rock, or pop, or Bach, or ****
*******! Where did we go wrong?
Now there's a category for every song

 

[Ilov80s]

Let’s just say anything with a guitar, bass and drums qualifies.

if it doesn't have drums, it's bluegrass
if it doesn't have guitar, it's just jazz
and if it doesn't have bass, it's trash.

So, all the White Stripes picks are invalid?

hasn’t this thread taught you we must draw arbitrary lines in the sand?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I just saw a loophole for everyone: "Rock" is in quotes in the thead title which means we can have a very loose definition of "rock".

 

[Bogart]

• Toadies - Heretics - 2015

I was unaware they had any recently released music

Heretics kinda cheats as it's mostly accoustic versions of earlier songs. Three off Rubberneck, two off Hell Below/Stars Above and three off Play.Rock.Music.

That said, they did have new albums in 2010 (Feeler finally released), 2012 (Play.Rock.Music) and 2017 (The Lower Side of Uptown). Also 4 live albums and a couple of EPs, including last year. They tour pretty regularly (often playing Rubberneck from start to finish) and I catch them 2 or 3 times a year, including a standing New Year Eve Eve show at Billy Bob's to celebrate Toadies Day.

How do you think I snuck Ted Leo and the New Pornographers in?
Death Cab, Postal Service and Jay-Z were no brainers.

Maybe it should be renamed the Pop music HOF?

I'm sorry, where's your list, "guy who sh!t s on everyone else's list"?

I'd comment on whether they qualify but haven't heard any songs by either.

Toadies first two were great....used to listen to em a lot in late 90's, early 00's....kinda lost em after that. I will have to check out. Thanks

2. Volbeat - Beyond Hell/Above Heaven

4. White Stripes - Elephant
5. Foo Fighters - In Your Honor.

I'm surprised with all the debate about "Is it Rock?" that it took this long for the Foo Fighters to show up on a list.
I really like "Wasting Light" from them and won't apologize for it.

You're lucky.

 

[TripItUp]

I'm sorry, where's your list, "guy who sh!t s on everyone else's list"?

All in due time GB.

I can promise you this, there will no ****ing Costello, Rush, Maiden or Priest (have no idea if they've released anything over the past 20 years and don't want to know)

Meh, this post was OK, doesn't make my top five

Dua Lipa is alright. MGK is horrendous.

5. Foo Fighters - In Your Honor.

If a Foo Fighters record made my list it'd definitely be In Your Honor.

Iron Maiden released Book of Souls in 2015 and it’s pretty good material. Didn’t make my top 5 though but Maiden is the greatest heavy metal band of all time.

 

[TripItUp]

I respect that opinion like most music opinions, but definitely disagree.

 

[Tau837]

Just ran across this thread. My top 5, limiting to one album per artist:

1. In Your Honor - Foo Fighters, 2005
2. MTV Unplugged - Pearl Jam, 2020 (recorded in 1992, released in 2020)
3. Meteora - Linkin Park, 2003
4. Some Devil - Dave Matthews, 2003
5. In Rainbows - Radiohead, 2007

Just missed:

1. Highway Companion - Tom Petty, 2006
2. Out of Exile - Audioslave, 2005 (self-titled first album would have made top 5, but released in Nov 2002)
3. Blink-182 - Blink-182, 2003
4. Natural Selection - Fuel, 2003
5. Light Grenades - Incubus, 2006

Of these 10 albums, pretty sure I only saw 2 mentioned: In Your Honor and In Rainbows.

 

[skol asylum]

Don't know about a top 5, but seeing as today is its 20th anniversary I'll add Permission to Land by The Darkness.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

It just misses the cut by a few months but Audioslave Audioslave might be #1

Well #3 behind Fear Inoculum and 10,000 days

 

[Dan Lambskin]

That wolfmother album slapped
