Rock Bands

[Draklar]

Ok, since I\'ve been looking into new types of music lately, I thought I could start this thread. Basically I already heard good recommendations for rock bands in this community, so maybe taking it a bit further might be a good idea.

Post any rock bands you like or think are good or whatever. I\'d be grateful for pointing out some good songs from them either.

Now bands (and songs) that are really of my liking are

Regicide - Behind His Eyes
And
Armchair Cynics - Bang

Thanks to Pogo and Kary for those, by the way :)

But anything will do as long as it\'s good. First, because I might like it no matter what genre it is. Second, because some other people might be searching for new music here.
So just post whatever you think deserves recommendation.

- thanks :)

Well alot of bands I like are somewhat mainstream but one of my favorites that not too many people know about or have hear is Days of the New and Tantric.  The bands themselves are linked basically.. after Days of teh News first album the band split the lead singer still has Days of the New while the old members formed tantric... Some good songs to download:

Days of the New:

Shelf in the Room
Touch, peel and stand
Face of the Earth
Solitude

Tantric:

Astounded
Breakdown
and maybe Hey Now

If you think they totally suck, no need to beat me down .. hope you enjoy Drak

if you\'re more in the  heavy/dark/melancholic rock, three bands are popping in my mind:

- System of a Down
- Kidney Thieves
- Deftones

/me loves them all

Valbrandr: I will decide whether there\'s a need to beat you down :P
Just joking, I\'ll check those once I get back from uni, thanks :)

miLosh: I don\'t know what I\'m into just yet. I mostly listen to all kinds of melodic (viking, folk, heavy, power, doom, gothic...) metal, just look for new stuff ;)

i wounldnt really call it rock (rock as in rock rock but it is rock)... but you already know what i listen to.

[Ecolem]

\'Muse\' the band has some rocking songs...try \"Butterfly\'s and hurricanes\"  )

[Drey]

if you are listening to Muse then you need to listen to songs like bliss and new born and plug in baby

I\'m going to have to put in a second vote for Tantric and Kidney Thieves, although it\'s more industrial than rock. Will rummage around my collection for some songs - I\'ve seriously forgotten what I do and do not have.

If you really want a laugh, check out \"Me First and the Gimme Gimmes\".  They\'re a punk cover band.  They don\'t cover standard punk songs; they take non-punk songs and punkify them.  For example, their album \"...Are a Drag\" is all Broadway show tunes.  (And it contains the only version I\'ve ever been able to stand of the song \"Tomorrow\" from Annie.)

what godfrey said, and reel big fish

Rock?

Try \"Thunderstruck\" by AC/DC or other stuff by then, the rolling stones aren\'t a bad choice either, ...

Valbrandr: I got Days of the New \"Touch, peel and stand\" and Tantric \"Breakdown\". Both sound cool, but especially Tantric :)

Oh and if someone can point me to a band which plays similar music to the chorus in this song, then he gets a cookie, or no, two cookies from me :P

It reminds me of \"Pictures of You\" by the Cure.  For no good reason of course.
