Bat for lashes album was probably my favourite of last year. Not very rock though Laughing out loud

Edit: Obviously you wanna get the new KOL album. But that goes without saying.

didn't read MilSpex's post properly Oops Laughing out loud

out of my list then, only Archie Bronson Outfit, Arcade Fire, Guillemots, Bonde do Rolê, The Sounds, and maybe Cansei de Ser Sexy could be considered in any way to be rock

how about these MilSpex?

Kings Of Leon
Grinderman
Arctic Monkeys
The Hellacopters
Primal Scream

I can do a Yousendit of a selection if you like?

The bands that are seen as cool at the moment are:

LCD Soundsystem
The Rapture
The Klaxons
!!!
CSS

..anyone that calls themselves nu rave or uses cow bells.

I am not a big fan of any of these bands. I tend to listen to new wave/synth-pop/post-punk from the 80's. One current band that im liking just now though are The Knife.

DJ et ATDI ,.... are faaarr superior to 95% of whats coming out now
