What Is The Best Rock Album

[@theboi5584]

Didn’t think TPAB would end up winning, but I guess it is the best Rock Album of all time.

[@camdenbakody5704]

Pfff so true Tony, who even remembers when the bassist of Led Zeppelin, the drummer from Nirvana / lead singer and guitarist of the Foo Fighters, and the lead singer and guitarist from Queens of the Stone age made an album together? It's not like it was one the most unique and underrated rock albums of the late 2000s! To be fair tho WYWH is one of the best albums of all time so it's pretty hard to beat

[@tttakkkumi]

Is the first part a joke? I’m rly not in on anything rock related besides the music itself

[@MegaSilverBlood]

Yep, Them Crooked vultures album is at least an 8/10, they showed up to work on that album not just make a typical supergroup album that only has one or two good songs. Its fantastic from beginning to end

[@Arawn505]

Yeah, and definitely among Queens of the Stone Age fans this band hasn't been forgotten. Maybe some of the songs would've benefited from a little bit of editing; overbrimming with so many ideas. But when I'm in the right mood for it, I think it's very good. If I would include this in a QotSA album ranking, it would be in my top 4, maybe even top 3

[@Arawn505]

@@tttakkkumi No, it's true. The members from this supergroup are Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age, John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin and Dave Grohl from Nirvana/Foo Fighters

Lol I think 21st Century Breakdown is a little underrated but even remotely comparing it to the amazingness that is Them Crooked Vultures is nutso

[@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435]

​@@21stCenturyGuy Like, Anthony deserves the call out for the TCV disrespect but 21st Century Breakdown just doesn't even compare to TCV lol

[@DUCT_TAPE_MAN]

The 21st century slander was even worse

[@Jackallleo]

“Insane psychedelic jammy excursions” Fantano talks about music like Patrick Bateman

[@Peachy_Fuzzy]

Patrick Bateman regurgitates what he hears from music critics. Fantano is a music critic.

[@shodai2054]

So glad he finally recognized 21CB as Dookie’s superior, love this character development melon

[@mrseaweed88]

I probably would choose 21st over dookie sometimes tbh, especially since the production is just so much better.

[@WildBerrie1]

​@@mrseaweed88wait what??? Idk man Dookie's production is really good, and 21CB is way overproduced imo

he'd pick their debut over any eagles album as he should

[@Hola-tq4pg]

"Any Doors album is better than any Eagles album" Look Anthony i liked the Big Lebowski too but there must be at least 1 eagles album that is better than Full Circle (And i'm saying this as a big Doors fan)

[@Qwertyuiopaz]

There's a strong chance he just ignored all the post Morrison albums, which I accidentally do sometimes too

[@TripsX]

Morrison was half of why the doors were great so any albums past his death shouldn’t count

[@luckygitane]

Loaded is a great record and that is a hill I will die on

[@luckygitane]

Especially with physical graffiti being your favorite Zeppelin

[@FoxMaster]

Fantano literally gave it an 8 back in 2014. Either he changed his mind, or he does think it’s great just a bit overrated.

[@Morn__]

I agree with it being great but it’s a bit overrated, easily the weakest of the 4 VU albums. Lonesome Cowboy Bill it’s pretty bad.

[@JamosHeat]

I just think vu looses there charm on loaded a bit. You can tell they are trying to go for hits and Lou is a great song writer but man the first three albums made me feel something different to other albums.

You don't have to; that's the critical consensus.

[@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435]

Sepultura seriously deserves more respects here, as much as you want to like Zeps more there. Roots is simply a very, very moving album once you know what it's all about.

I honestly didn’t expect to see Them Crooked Vultures get that much hate, if anything they’re a super underrated band and the chemistry between Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones is absolutely awesome plus 21st Century Breakdown is still a solid album imo since you’ve got killer songs like 21 Guns, the title track, ¿Viva La Gloria? (Little Girl), Know Your Enemy, Peacemaker and East Jesus Nowhere just to name a few

American Football not winning that last round 1. That really hurt Anthony, I hope you'll reconsider.

[@marcos_derozzi]

we all love American Football, but c'mon Hot Rats is amazing

[@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435]

Like, Hot Rats isn't just another "underrated classic" type of record but the opening track itself alone anticipated the 80s-90s (and 2000s to a certain extent) music trend of incorporating very intricate harmony progression and lush arrangements into big pop hits, as early as 1969. I don't remember finding any other late 60s popular records that really match the harmonic and production sophistication of "Peaches en Regalia" to begin with.

I'd actually argue Floyd are the more pretensious band than Zappa who never seemed to take himself all that seriously and somehow managed to say way more with even his instrumental music than Floyd's most conceptual and 'socially aware' work.
