Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far


I would like to nominate the album: Keep It Hid - Dan Auerbach. From 2008 I reaaly liked Only by the Night - Kings of Leon

Van Morrison just released Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl. I picked it up on CD and vinyl, but haven't gotten to the vinyl yet. Vinyl has an extra track. Great performance and well worth checking out.
Jesse Sykes reminds me of a mixture of 'Mazzy Star' and more so 'Marianne Faithful'. Excellent stuff, thanks Palasr for the recommendation, her cd's will be in my collection very soon.
Four are on heavy rotation in my house: Anthony Johnson, M. Ward, Animal Collective and the new U2.
I just got Noble Beast/useless creatures the double cd from Andrew Bird. It is not my absolute favorite album of his, but has some good stuff, one of the cd's is instrumental. M ward is on order. I like that Jesse Sykes, she sounds a bit like Vic Chesnutt. It is only Feb.
Thanks for the Jesse Sykes mention. I have never heard of her, but just ordered a couple of her CD's after listening to some youtube tracks.

I also listened to Susanna...didn't really like that.
