Best Rock Album of The Last 20 Years...

[coltrane2]

I just dont see Radiohead having that much influence........

Of course the Nirvana fans will argue in their favor.........


and some will say U2 has had the most influence......


I just dunno what would be the most influential album in the past 20 years

I can't stand anything after OK Computer, but their influence has been gargantuan. Everyone from Coldplay to Muse owes something to their sound. I dislike the whole approach from Kid A onwards, but influence is undeniable. .

 

[coltrane2]

that is an outstanding album.......nice choice AK.

Agreed. Truly outstanding and completely original sound, which says something's.

For me, where it really all started as far as I'm concerned with Rock was, of course, with Nirvana's "Nevermind." Then "In Utero", "Incesticide", "Bleach", etc... AC/DC was also big for me then, yet not after or during those years. It was all pretty much "Back In Black" and earlier. My favorite AC/DC album was/is "Powerage" and that was obviously quite a ways back. I forgot exactly when this thread started but 20 years back from 2013 would've been 1993. If we're were going from 1990 to 2010 though, I'd have to pick Neil Young's "Ragged Glory" for sure. I love it, obviously as my name would tell you, along with most of Neil Young's other albums no matter what Decade or Year. He's gotta be somewhere in there, yet it all started with Nirvana for me so I guess you'd have to either put "Nevermind" or "In Utero" up there in this case.

This is a top 5 album for me out of all of the Beatles solo efforts. Really good crafted songs on this one with some heavy rockers. Love it.

Absolution - Muse

 

[ZeppelinsHeaven]

This is tricky since there not a lot of standout albums. I would say "Siamese Dream" from Smashing Pumpkins. Yes, it is rock.
