We have strikingly similar tastes in music. Several of my favorite albums of all time are on that list!
TBH, I was pretty much completely out of the loop for modern rock music during college (2009-2013) for several reasons:
1. The death of Myspace. I discovered a lot of music through Myspace, and it was over by the time I started college.
2. The death of FM radio. Baton Rouge literally had zero stations playing current rock music for most of my time in college.
3. The "alt" scene had basically switched to lame folk music or EDM, neither felt like "rock" to me, and I mostly hated both genres.
4. I went through a really bad heartbreak at 18, and it sent me down a rabbit hole of 60's music and singer/songwriters.
5. I was playing a lot of jazz and funk gigs on trumpet for various groups, so guitar driven music sorta took a backseat for a little while.
6. My college girlfriend mostly listened to classic rock and country.
7. All of my friends that I had in HS that were super passionate about music lived out of state while I was in college. The few friends I met in college DGAF about rock music at all.
Basically, I had no idea how to find new rock music at the time, and rarely did. Most of the music I found was because I went to a show. 8/10 of the bands listed below, I saw live during that time period.
With that said:
Cage the Elephant - Self-Titled (easily the most influential album for me from this time period)
Jet - Shaka Rock
Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More
Streetlight Manifesto - The Hands That Thieve
Foo Fighters - Wasting Light
Wilco - Sky Blue Sky
The Black Keys - El Camino
Trombone Shorty - For True
Rise Against - Endgame
The Menzingers - Chamberlain Waits
TBH, my college years were spent listening mostly to 70's funk (Tower of Power, EW&F, Chicago, P-Funk, Weather Report, etc), classic rock, grunge and grunge-adjacent bands like Foo Fighters and Audioslave, or early 2000's pop punk.
If I was making a list today of my favorite albums from that time period, it would be a completely different list, but those were the most influential albums that I actually knew about and listened to at the time.
