If you only listen to two rock albums this year...

Make it these two. I'm not going to rate them on a scale from 0.0 to 10.0. I'm just going to say that they are perfect, and you are a fool if you don't give them a chance. To further make my case, here are links to some really cool interviews that Pitchfork has done with Girls and St. Vincent. I have also included a music video from each record. If you don't like the Girls track, check out some of their other stuff anyway. "Vomit" a lot heavier than their music tends to be, and another track is bound to get you hooked if that one doesn't.

Girls: Father, Son, Holy Ghost

St. Vincent: Strange Mercy

Recommended dose of real shit: Feast or Famine by DaVinci
