A few others, if interested: Interpol, Kings of Leon, Mogwai, Pete Yorn.

Evanescence

Millencolin
Rancid
Saves the day
Thursday
The Used

I know it said only one....but it's to fucking hard to choose just one

Everyones already listening to Evanescence

Asta!!

Heh. Saw them in concert with Opeth.
Lacuna Coil is a joke.

They are what 5 or 6 band members, all dressed in trench coats with their hair braided like nu metal idiots.
The 3 guitarists or 4 or whatever just stood there, played a few notes every once and a while and seems like half of the music was pre recorded.
And now they are on the radio? ACK.

You want an amazing band eh? Just so happens I have one for you.

Agalloch, hailing from Portland, Oregon.

Sort of a post - black metal band, with some folk and other musical traits.
You've got your screams, and your mix of clean, emotional singing.
Each song is unique in its own way, but ties back into the other songs.
3 members, yet the greatest sound I have heard in years.
John Haugm writes all the lyrics (which are amazing by the way) and composes all the songs.

i can tell that jet are fucken great. they are a mix of the beatles, the stones acdc and a lot of other bands around that time which they have as big influences. they supported the stones when they toured australia. would have loved to have seen that

Interpol. Thats another one.

Blindside.

Radiobox -- a local band here in Phoenix. They're awesome! www.radiobox.com

or Stuckmode -- they just moved to LA, incredible band!

I envy you. Matt was great but Ripper sounds ok from what I've heard.

Jet are freaking exploding on MTV2 right now... their video is pretty much every 4th one played...

They're pretty good... but I just can't get over the fact that they sound WAYYYYY too much like The Who (their current hit 'Are You Gonna Be my Girl' pretty much is the same as 'My Generation'). They lose a few originality points for that but overall I've liked what I heard.

A better (in my opinion) retro-style band out there these days is OK Go. They had a decent hit with Get Over It some months ago. They're excellent.

modest mouse

every song is magical, no joke

and neutral milk hotel, jeff mangum being one of the best songwriters Ever (period)

Coheed and Cambria
the new Brand New
The Reunion Show

30 Seconds to Mars

I honestly wish more people would start listening to Porcupine Tree. Seriously, with more exposure, these guys could have become the next Pink Floyd.
Go check out In Absentia, you'll thank me later.

Damn right it is...

One of the few bands who I've given the honor of listening to while I had sex

I got few songs from the band OK Go that were really kick ass. gotta check them out some more

Pavement

A phenomenal band that never got the respect or credit they deserved.

To go along with pavement: Pedro the Lion, Built to Spill

this is definately one of my favorite bands and this is a great album.

I've really liked what I've heard. Which album's the best starting point?

Mm-hmm.

As for my pick:

The Dismemberment Plan

Remy Zero
Sky Cries Mary
David Gray
Coldplay
Jewel
Radiohead
Deftones
Counting Crows
Ben Folds Five
Modest Mouse
Sunny Day Real Estate
Norah Jones
Bob Marley

DJ/Producers:
Oakenfold
Paul Van Dyk
Donald Glaude
DJ Dan
John Kelley
Zacharia
DJ Dara
BT
ATB
Joshua Ryan

I second The Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pussy.

Stuart Hamm. Bass virtuoso, and a hell of a musician.

Just got finished trying to listen to Glassjaw and The Mars Volta. Of Glassjaw, I tried Siberian Kiss, Convectuoso and Cosmopolitan Bloodloss. I recognize the artistry, but not for me. Of Mars Volta, I tried the Bach Song (tape looping != music) and Wasting My Air (because he was making such good use of it. Not.)

Sorry folks, I wanted to like them, but, if one is going to scream when singing, one needs to scream land sing at the same time, ala Bruce Dickinson, not just howl like a skillsaw ripping plywood.

Incidentally, Maiden Rulez!

And a third for Reverend Horton Heat.

Mastodon
Brainiac
the Blood Brothers
Clem Snide
Mr. Lif
Superchunk
We Ragazzi
!!!

etc.

None. I'm a selfish asshole. You can have Opeth though if you dont already know of them.

the band "CKY", enough said, theyre out to change music, "cky will take over the name of rock and roll and piss on its face, i promise." -chad i ginsburg

face it, music today, SUCKS. industries are forcing this horrible crap down your throat, nobody knows better. critics, bands, the whole industry is pathetic. its not just about CKY's music, its about what they stand for in the music industry.
INFILTRATE.DESTROY.REBULD. roCK on.

Eh i've never heard those 2 songs i guess they must be on the Tremulant EP. Try songs off Deloused In The Comatorium

Good ones are..Inertiatic ESP, Eriatarka, Roulette Dares..almost everything on this album rocks.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS!!

Jed's a Millionaire

I was not able to read this full thread...so if I repeat a band, please forgive me.

At this point..for "newer" bands, I totally recommend Hot Hot Heat.

Gwendolyn Speaks...acoustic, sort of folky. Good stuff.

Explosions In The Sky
Analog
Between The Buried and Me
Amber Asylum
K-OS
CurlUpAndDie
Blood Has Been Shed
Murder By Death

mojave 3

Wow...someone else likes Amber Asylum. I have only seen them live, but have never found a CD to buy.

Maroon 5. good stuff, for real. And I don't even typically listen to this "type" of music. But I bought the cd and it's awesome.

explosions in the sky
the decemberists

if you like mogwai, then you'll be blown away by EITS, in my opinion, the better group. "the only moment we were alone" off of "earth is not a cold dead place" is beautiful, so so beautiful.

the decemberists are probably a deal more popular than EITS. they're good. castaways > her majesty btw
