I find it somewhat difficult to even find contenders.
(Bonus points for finding something closer to 2014)
Since The White Stripe’s Seven Nation Army is from 2003, and Andrew W K’s Party hard from 2001, I’m going for 2006’s Muse’s hit Supermassive Black Hole.
I’ll crank Bob Mould’s Star Machine (2012) way up whenever it comes around on shuffle.
Supercell with Hatsune Miku rock pretty hard on “Love is War”.
Nice!
Gangnam Style
I’m going with the White Stripes’s Icky Thump. I can’t listen to this without cranking it up and head-banging.
Oh wait, Metallica’s Day that never comes?
no, wait, Rodrigo y Gabriella’s Hanuman
I dunno, the more I think about it, the more examples I think of… Rock’s not dead, just sleeping.
I wouldn’t call Rodrigo y Gabriella Rock. They’d be more like flamenco.
I’ve never heard of The Sheepdogs, they seem to go for the classic rock sound, if this were a poll, I’d add them to the list. But rock has changed throughout the ages. I’ll put in my suggestion of Buckcherry’s Crazy Bitch NSFW, turn it down if you’re at work. Honestly, the first time I heard it (at a bar), I thought it was Aerosmith. I know it doesn’t quite sound like them, but I couldn’t place it. After hearing it a few more times, I’d say it probably sounds more like Motley Crue then Aerosmith. I was never into hair metal growing up, but I do like this song.
I have the definitive answer.
LCD Soundsystem: Daft Punk Is Playing At My House
…although I guess there are other contenders:

I think this is the best response so far; the vast majority are indie or alternative or some other sub genre that can certainly rock at times, but is unlikely to rock the most. Though I got tempted by the Muse suggestion, 'cause I kind of love Muse. I do think a lot of the best rock in the last decade has been on the alternative side - Muse, Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys, some of the White Stripes - but it’s hard for me to give “rocks the most” to anything that would have been played on pop stations <old man voice> back in the day.
Tool’s 10,000 Days was 2006, so I’d probably go with The Pot as my contribution. There’s some really great stuff closer to 2014 as well (Volbeat, Three Days Grace, Avenged Sevenfold), but there aren’t so much hard rock megabands these days.
I’ve tried to listen the The White Stripes, but Jack White’s voice is like nails on a blackboard to me.
My standard response to this kind of question has been The Heavy: How You Like Me Now? (2009)
Also in contention: The Black Keys:
Gold on the Ceiling (2011)
Lonely Boy (2011)
Choose from among:
Thrash Unreal by Against Me!
Welcome To The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance
I Miss The Misery by Halestorm
or Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold
