Mine choice is The Hellacopter's Rock and Roll is Dead. It'll probably
wind up as my #1 CD of the year as well (it came out in the UK in late
`05, but here in January of this year). It's a tight little rock CD-
great short guitar solos, nice vocals and melodic as hell. It reminds me
of a tighter version of Oasis or Jet or earlier Cheap Trick (if all
their songs were 2 1/2 - 3 minutes). I heard one song of theirs on the
Little Steven's Underground Garage channel on Sirius one morning and
picked up that night. Nothing radical, but not much else this year got
my foot tapping as hard as this one.
