He's looking for straightforward rock. He even specifically mentioned TMV as a kind of band he wasn't looking for and someone went ahead and recommended it anyway... Opeth and Godspeed are two bands that fit into the same category of stuff he's not looking for (as much as I like both bands, that's not what he wants).

Looks like there's a lot of "nu-metal" on your list there, so you might want to take a look at guccilvr's recommendations first. I'm sure you'll find most of those bands pretty suitable.

Unfortunately, my area of expertise is in the exact kind of music you're trying to avoid, so I can't offer much myself. Here's a few that you might like in addition to the bands guccilvr brought up. Some newer, some older (and some you should probably be familiar with anyway, but what the hell):

A Perfect Circle
Alice in Chains
Boy Sets Fire
Deftones
Dredg
Kyuss
Queens of the Stone Age
Rage Against the Machine
Sevendust
Smashing Pumpkins
Soundgarden
Stone Temple Pilots
Tool

I'm sure you've heard of a lot of those (if not, move out of that cave), but they're all worth your time to check out. Everything on that list is pretty much straight up hard rock, with the exceptions of Tool and Dredg, who are both a little on the artsy side.
