Some actual good rock bands?

[whocares]

Seriously, I haven't found any good rock music/group that is recent... everything on the radio is the same crappy emo/pop/rap boring music...

So, I ask you, people with good taste on music, which are some actual good rock bands or songs worth hearing to?

Thanks...

[mastertronic]

Depends what you're into. I've seen an unsigned band here in London a couple of times. The lead singer's got a cracking voice and is quite cute. Rock... not too heavy, not too soft, not indie or emo. Decent tunes.

They're called The Fluids... with an official site (http://thefluids.com) and MySpace (http://myspace.com/thefluids) page. See what you think :)

Also saw a very good tribute band last night called Shrink Floyd(!) at a local pub. Excellent. The lead singer/guitarist/keyboardist was first class.

[Trwaega]

The Drive by Truckers
Joe Bonamassa
The Black Keys

[Mount_Happy]

Velvet Revolver - they have a new album coming out hopefully this spring which is going to by leaps above 'Contraband' musically according to the members.

Buckcherry - great sounding raw rock n' roll band, check out their album '15', and NOT just "Crazy Bitch".

Silvertide - these guys remind me of a harder Black Crowes, because the lead singer sounds so similar to theirs, but theyre another great rock n roll band.


... those are some of the modern bands I personally enjoy.

[DarkStar91]

tool, a perfect circle,

[Mount_Happy]

tool, a perfect circle,
Ah fuck yes, i forgot about APC, Tool isnt really "modern", theyve been around since the early 90's, about 15 years ago so...

But APC is definetly awesome, I plan on picking up Mer De Noms tommorow.

[Ænema]

Tool
I'll post more later.

[asdfkjhg]

I agree wit the people saying APC

fucking love that band. i don't really like much rock though

[t o o l]

Tool, APC (which have been said), Incubus, Sevendust, Isis, 10 Years, Nine Inch Nails. Thats all I can think of right now, I'll add more later.

Edit: Nonpoint

[Enjoi]

Incubus, Coheed and Cambria, Red Hot Chili Peppers

[a7x1337]

im not the hugest fan, but i'd recommend black stone cherry. they have a nice bluesy southern rock sound. they were on headbangers ball for some reason, even though they're not metal at all...

[Whitelines]

Try some Alkaline Trio.

They've been around forever, nobody really started noticing them till recently.

Not too heavy, not too soft... Try Radio on for size, awesome song by them.

Actually, I kind of like them.

[camjoe87]

Marillion
Pain of Salvation
Chroma Key
Porcupine Tree
Riverside

You must listen to these bands. Suprisingly, all of these bands are pretty modern .. I know porcupine tree and marillion have CDs coming out this year. Pain of Salvation just released a CD. Not sure about the other two, but they have definately released CDs in the past 3-4 years.

I'll be happy to help with any song/album selections.

[MoonCakePenguin]

Someone said Incubus.

Try Breaking Benjamin.

[navid]

rise against, avenged sevenfold

[t o o l]

Some more to add - Army of Anyone, Deftones, Ra, Strata, Trapt, Tenacious D (duh)

[Esko]

The only good new rock music left today is the new Guns N Roses, seriously, im not just saying that because im a huge fan but because the unfinished demos that are on the web that are downloadable are better than anything out there.

Have you ever listend to Tool, if you like Isis and Mars Volta like I do then you should at least like Tool a little bit.

[Led Zep]

FALL OUT BOY

no jk but seriously: if you like Pink Floyd like me try Mars Volta

incubus

but i like classic rock so those are the only two modern bands i listen too as i am looking for some too

[the man]

It has been proven in recent pie charts and other types of geometric shapes that Doomriders are the greatest band in existence. But, don't get too close to them, their radioactive skin will melt you eyes if you look at them too long.

[ExOdUz60]

Tool is one for sure.

[dude22]

Nine Inch Nails. =]

[k_tull88]

The Shins
Dr. Dog
Arcade Fire
Modest Mouse

[Shameless]

You mean besides Hinder?


*Cough* Actually Element Eighty is really good.
http://www.myspace.com/elementeighty

EDIT: \/\/\/\/ Very true about DFA1979. Quite excellent.

[I Like Me]

Check out Death From Above 1979. They play with a distorted bass and drums, no guitar. Sounds awesome.

And of course, The Unicorns, for they are sex.

[Kazimierz]

I recently got into the Killers. Good, solid rock. Sam's Town is a great album.

[Joey-Clemenza]

Justice is better then Death From Above 1979.

When did we get off the subject? The guy was looking for rock music.

I recently got into the Killers. Good, solid rock. Sam's Town is a great album.
The Killers are atrocious, generic, pop-rock. The original poster is looking for actually "good" rock bands, ie) not The Killers.

Ill throw in Nine Inch Nails, not exactly "rock", but great music with wide variety.
