10 Perfect 2010s Rock Albums With No Bad Songs

10. Blunderbuss - Jack White (2012)

In a world of nu-metal, pop-punk and mainstream R&B, Jack White spent the 2000s proving blues inspired rock was still relevant. His bands, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, explored a Southern inspired brand of guitar music. But, his most career defining work came in the form of the musical duo, The White Stripes. Leaning heavily on the three elements of vocals, guitar and drums, the band delivered succinct, punchy and memorable garage rock numbers, that demand just as much adulation now, as they did when they were released.

White's first solo endeavour might not have strayed too far from the kind of music he'd been making previously, but that didn't disappoint fans for a moment. His frantic vocal delivery and distinctive riff work was at the forefront of this album. Blunderbuss took the core sound of The White Stripes and placed in a sea of textured instrumental arrangements.

The culmination of 10 years experience as a rock musician, saw White settle into a genre he has a clear admiration for, while simultaneously pulling in elements of electronica music. As the title indicates, Blunderbuss goes off with a bang and although a number of slower tracks pepper the 40 minute run time, there isn't a moment that's not engaging.
