Depends on your definition of "good rock song". In my opinion, you can listen to anything on "One Big Cake" by House of Large Sizes and find 16 (I think) hard rockin' songs. There are a lot of folks that wouldn't agree with me, though.
How about some context?

HOLS will do that.
You can try The Pixies or Skinny Puppy or Primus or Jonathan Richman or Mike Ness or Rocket From The Crypt or The Mighty Blue Kings or The Nails or Material Issue. There are songs by all those folks that pump me up. Without having some context - in other words, what pumps YOU (clap) up - it's hard to make any suggestions. And yes, I did just make a Hans and Franz referrence.

That's still pretty vague....
I can go through almost any ZZTop and a lot of Robert Gordon and get 'pumped up', never heard of most of what my kid plays that gets her 'pumped up', she's never heard of mine, yet some of her favorites are recent covers... Are you talking metal, classic rock, what? Good guitar riffs or mad banging drums?

SmashMouth's release "Summer Girl" has some hard hitting songs on it.

Let's get our terminology clear here, so that we'll know what we're looking for. Neither Slipknot nor Korn are rock. They would be better classified as nu metal.
For the record, my tolerance of other people's tastes doesn't often extend to nu metal. Nu metal is metal light. It is the diet root beer of metal. And nothing about metal should be diet. So now that I've said that, I'll make some suggestions. Look for the following bands: Avenged Sevenfold Black Label Society King Diamond Mercyful Fate Anthrax Damageplan Pantera PROBOT I'm sure some of our more serious metalheads can offer a bit more, but that ought to be enough to start.

Pantera is always good. And any other Phil Anselmo band (Superjoint Ritual, Down, Necrophagia).
Fuck The Facts Cryptopsy Nile Origin (only if you're looking for complete insanity) Meshuggah Eyehategod Bongzilla Kyuss Martyr Cephalic Carnage Sepultura These are all bands I only heard about from other people. So I'm assuming that somewhat counts as 'unknown'. |

Are we posting videos? Yay videos!
How about Dave Grohl and Suicide Girls (mildly NSFW for scantily clad women with ropes and chains) PROBOT - Shake Your Blood And for all the aspiring guitar heroes out there... Avenged Sevenfold - The Beast and the Harlot (guest-starring the Venom symbiote) And how about some Texan Death Metal? Pantera - Cowboys From Hell For the record, even non-metalheads ought to check out Cowboys From Hell if only for Dimebag Darrel's guitar work. That man could melt faces at 100 yards.

![]() Anyways, if you are looking for stuff that you probably won't hear on the radio but isn't too heavy, Tomahawk is a great band. Mike Patton (Faith no More) does the vocals. On the heavier side, Arch Enemy keeps turning out great albums. So does Napalm Death. Ministry and Machine Head are other great current bands as well. Some bands that broke up years ago but put out good stuff include bands like Flotsam and Jetsam, Carcass, Death, and Sentenced. |

Well I think you're trying to find bands that sound more mainstream, like Slipknot and Korn. And I don't really care what it's classified as, I just like a wide range of metal.
Check out old Coal Chamber, Fear Factory, Lamb of God, Shadows Fall, Atreyu, As I Lay Dying, Cradle of Filth, Bullet for My Valentine, Trivium... |
