Think about it, if someone was judged to have made a better Rock album than Metallica in that year would it really be that much of a shock?

Point taken. I think Jethro put out a better album then the Black album that year also. I think I would include Coldplay if we're gonna talk sheer numbers and take a stance toward popularity. I'm surprised Arcade Fire is in the discussion but they do have what is considered a top ten record from the era.

to me if it has any sort of electronics and studio add ons or magic it isnt rock

Rock to me is like Dry gritty hot and dirty and dusty

thats why Whitestrips is a pretty good choice and radiohead isnt

This is rock to me VVVVVV

Sounds like the blues to me Norg. They certainly make more sense in the conversation then Arcade Fire to me.

This makes no sense. You don't build the foundation after you've already built the house.

I'm going to have to agree with The White Stripes, Elephant is already a masterpiece to me, I'm very young and I grew up with Jack's voice singing down my ear

It was up against ...And Justice For All.

God Fred, you're timeline is totally out of whack

I'd say the white stripes. They managed to pull off the "back to basics" thing and had a pretty distinct style. Other groups in the garage rock revival scene (The Hives, The Strokes, The Vines, Arctic Monkeys) are pretty good too, but not as unique.

The Hives are absolutely brilliant but agreed not as unique.
