On my facebook timeline, I like to do what I would consider my version of a show, I guess.  Currently I'm doing a year by year look everyday and I'm at 1994 (I'll be on 2012 on the 31st) but I started to slowdown on record buying around this time and I never really caught on with what was going on after 2000 for sure unless it was already a band I liked or it just blew up, like the Black Lips did.  I like what I've heard on podcasts but it's not like I remember everything or write it down.  I enjoy the moment.  I'm just curious what you guys would consider the most rocking songs of the past 12 years would be and I think that would help me out.  I try googling "most rocking songs of (put year here)" but it's nil.  Or even "real rock and roll (year)" and it's just hopeless.  I'm doing ok now but by the time I get to 2000, it's gonna be crappy unless I find some good suggestions.

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for helping out. Lots of great suggesations.  And a Happy New Year's to you all.

I've tried that but in the 2000s the labels have all changed.  Actully what's been helping me remember stuff is Kopper's year in review on his Wayback Machine shows from years ago.  He has all the lists up.

It would be alot easier to wiki labels you like and look at their releases. For example "Goner", that's the first one I would start with.

Drinking and Thinking don't go hand in hand but thanks everybody who's helping me out here.  I'm also using Kopper's old Wayback Machine lists but I am having trouble remembering who was knew and what wasn't. Heh : )

Johnny Throttle - Sick Of Myself - 2010

Great list! I recognize quite a few of those.  I'll see if I can find those during the week.  Thanks.

I like garage psychedelia but I guess I guess what I'm doing each day is presenting stuff that suggests that the attitude of 1951 that started with Rocket 88 is still alive and well, no matter what a Major label would tell you.  That first list is the perfect example.

Orange Alibaster Mushroom were (are?) great and I use to listen to them on my mysapce when that website was relelvent.  Guys from the 14th Wray if I remember correctly.

I understand where you're coming from on this thread.  I'm not sure if you're into garage psychedelia, but the Orange Alabaster Mushroom released the Compendium album in 2001, which contained stuff from 1991-92 and 1998-99.  Side B of the album is 1998-99, and if my calculation is correct, that's where you were at yesterday and are at today, respectively. 

Not sure if what I've said is relevant, but that's what sticks out in my mind from those years.  Hope it helps in some way.

Anybody else?  I'm really coming up close to 2000 on my daily countdown (I'm at 1998) and the only thing I can think of is a record I really shouldn't have bought which was Rock Star God by the Makers.

Just listened to all those in a row. Damn fine selections!

Thanks a lot. And it's a great start. I pull everything off of youtube and post a half hour to an hour's worth of stuff.  My friends love it, it would seem.

I started buying too many reissues or just older albums I forgot to buy during the 80s and 90s during the last decade.  I really love King Kahn and the Shrines.

Here are some "rocking" songs I have enjoyed since 2000:

BOY ,THAT'S A TOUGH CALL , AND NOT BECAUSE NOTHING GOOD CAME OUT FROM 2000 TO 2012 , JUST NOTHING THAT LEAPS RIGHT OUT AT ME......BUT , I'LL GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT. I KNOW ROCK'N'ROLL AND THINKIN' DON'T MIX , BUT I'LL DO SO IN MODERATION.
