I did not listen to VR's new album but I did listen to AB's Blackbird and I loved it. For me too it really deserves to be the Best Rock Album.
I liked the White Stripes and Led Zep definitely deserves the comeback of the year!

Slash rules!!

Interessant mais Holy Diver c n santer de Dio. :Z Kifer Killswitch ine gagne best riff pu n riff ki li pan ecir?? :S:S:S

Fair enough results IMO.
