Top 12 Rock Albums To Look For In 2009

Now that we’re all through the starting gate of 2009, Rock is planning on making a comeback. Whether its attempting to redeem themselves after failed past albums, or trying to revive the genre as a whole, Rock artists are hoping 2009 is more gentle than years past. Here are 12 bands that are trying to make a big leap and/or continuing their supremacy in the fame game.

• Alice In Chains (Trying to revive band after tragic death of lead singer, Layne Staley in 2002).
• Breaking Benjamin (Looking to take a step up on ’06 release of Phobia with an Aerosmith twist?)
• Chris Cornell (Goodbye grunge, hello Pop and R&B)
• Jonathan Davis (Korn fans need to embrace their lead singer’s attempt on a solo career)
• Green Day (Looking to continue their cult in the Pop/Rock world)
• Hoobastank (Trying to make fans forget about last release)
• Killswitch Engage (Trying to write an album that can compete with their live shows)
• Courtney Love (Attempting to gain some respect for herself)
• Mudvayne (Wants to be sole holders of NuMetal genre)
• Pearl Jam (Continuing to connect classic with present)
• Queens of the Stone Age (New album is titled “Desert Orgy In The Dark”… need I say more?)
• U2 (One word… BONO)

With all these big names coming out with new material, ’09 will be an interesting year in music. We’ll just have to be patient as some of these releases are due to come out later in the year. Lets see what happens…
