There has not been a great rock and roll album since 1987's

There, I said it.
Sure, there have been notable albums -

by The White Stripes, or Robert Plant's

, maybe. But has there been anything truly memorable - an entire album where you just went "wow"? And no, I don't count Nirvana - quick, name me five great Nirvana songs. How about three? I'm not trolling here, but I'd really like to know if anyone can recommend a great rock and roll album in the last 20 years. Even U2's later efforts prompt a "meh" reaction, and I'm a huge U2 fan.
So, prove me wrong.
