This appears just like my CC series, but there is one crucial distinction. This list is the combined opinions of me and the critics in the critical consensus series. My vote counted for one point just like the vote of each critic.
Essentially, this is simply an update of the CC series with my little voice tossed in as a drop in the critical pool.
Scale:
***** - Masterpiece
**** 1/2 - Classic
**** - Great
*** 1/2 - Good
*** - Above Average
** 1/2 - Average
** - Below Average
* 1/2 - Bad
* - Terrible
1/2 - One of the worst albums ever
I'm not a rock fan but I've heard the track Seven Nation Army and the guitar is amazing and goes perfectly with the vocals. I love it! Do you know of any other rock tracks with similar guitar work and vocals?
You might try 10 A.M. Automatic by The Black Keys (album: Rubber Factory).
I know at least two people who first heard this song while driving and swear it nearly caused them to wreck when the out-of-phase guitar solo kicked in...
Shalom, y'all!

Yeah, the guitar really screams in parts. 10. A.M. Automatic didn't have the drive of Seven Nation Army. The guitar was rather distorted and noisy, while Seven Nation Army's guitar had a certain rhythm to it.
