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](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RALObIcjmy0) (2012) way up whenever it comes around on shuffle. ---

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](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENBX_v1Po1Y)** 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](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ6pLKlU-8Q) 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. ---

> [@Rattle\_and\_Hum](#): > > [Hail to the King](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DelhLppPSxY) 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 \ 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?](http://youtu.be/sVzvRsl4rEM?list=RDsVzvRsl4rEM) (2009) Also in contention: The Black Keys: [Gold on the Ceiling](http://youtu.be/6yCIDkFI7ew?list=PL059BE1592AA3EA47) (2011) [Lonely Boy](http://youtu.be/a_426RiwST8?list=PL059BE1592AA3EA47) (2011) ---
