We wanted to have a little fun with this post and as a result went through an grueling process of identifying our favorite rock albums of the past decade. So what makes this list different than any others out there? I'm sure that will be evident as you go through the list.
Before we get started, we should define what we consider a "rock album". A rock album is defined in the true sense of the word in that it must be a rock n roll album, meaning that it can be loud, features the playing of real instruments, features guitar solos and simply be a rock album. The Jonas Brother are not rock. We have featured some albums in the "pop rock" vein, but for the most part we wanted to keep this to what a rock album should be. Chcuk Berry is rock, Van Halen is rock, Nickelback is rock, Metallica is rock. Kid Rock is rock, Britney Spears is not.
We have included some greatest hits compilations providing the artist did have an album of fresh material within the decade that was 2000-2009. Other than that these are our favorite rock albums of the past decade. You may have not have heard of some of them, but if you are a rock n roll fan you may want to check them out. With that we present Marketing Jive's Top 100 Rock Albums of the Decade: 2000-2009.
