Featured Rock Albums
2013
Rob Zombie
– Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor
Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor is a loud, lurid joyride through grindhouse chaos—part horror show, part rock spectacle. With snarling riffs, sleazy synths, and a twisted sense of fun, it’s all guts, no shame, and weirdly catchy.
2012
Jack White
– Blunderbuss
Blunderbuss is Jack White unfiltered. Raw, messy, and full of swagger, it blends garage rock, soul, blues, and heartbreak into a wild, genre-hopping ride. Wounded but witty, it’s a breakup record with bite, grit, and style to spare.
2002
Wilco
– Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is Wilco unraveling and rebuilding at once—fragile, fearless, and timeless. Tweedy’s haunted melodies drift through static and distortion, while beauty flickers beneath collapse. An album about uncertainty that still feels like a quiet revelation.
1976
Ramones
– Ramones
Four chords, zero filler—Ramones debut is punk in its purest form. Fast, loud, and rebellious, it bulldozed bloated ‘70s rock with breakneck beats and razor-sharp riffs. Every track is a revolution, proving less is more—just louder, faster, and unforgettable.
1971
The Rolling Stones
– Sticky Fingers
Sticky Fingers is the Stones stepping into the ’70s—hungover, reckless, and at their peak. With Mick Taylor’s fiery guitar and Keith Richards slashing out nasty riffs. Jagger sneers, pleads, and howls through tracks soaked in excess, regret, and raw swagger.
