Occasional poster, long-time lurker. I'm going to de-lurk for a minute to put my 2 cents worth in on this "Rock" thread. The last 3 Radiohead albums get heavy play from me, but I think they are a little bit to far on the weird side of rock for most people. I'll probably get flamed to hell and back, as well as perma-banned from the zorn-list, but here goes... :-) As far as straight-up, fun, silly, rock-n-roll goes the one album that I keep coming back to is Andrew WK's "I Get Wet". It's just beautiful in in it's simplicity. It doesn't take itself too seriously. Out of 12 songs, there is only one that I don't like. As far as I'm concerned, it's pretty darn close to pop rock perfection. Also, at 35 minutes long, I like the fact that it bucks the trend where artists feel like they have to fill all 70 minutes of a CD.
