If you want to hear something that\'s a bit more gothic industrial / electronica / nine inch nails, you might like this guy:

I\'ve talked to him and he\'s pretty cool.  My favourite song by him isn\'t on his purevolume page though, but Within is pretty good as long as you aren\'t into instant gratification.


edit:  my favourite song is \"Slit\", it\'s hosted somewhere on his website but I don\'t have a link on hand

thats what they say about themselfs on their website: http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/band/faq.php#01

what is sigur r?s?
a rock band from iceland. the members of the band are:

but i agree with you, they do not fall into my definition of rock as well

Good band, but they don\'t have much energy going for them.  If you like Bjork then definately check them out.  

um no, i dont agree. the only common thing between sigur ros and bj?rk is that both are from iceland. period. i do not like bj?rk very much, there are 2-3 tracks i can listen to, max. if you want to compare them to other bands, take a look on some early albums from pink floyd. i would be astonished to learn that sigur ros is not influenced by pink floyd

anyway, its definitly not the usual-alternativ-rock-band you\'d expect, hehe

[zanzibar]

I\'m already rather familiar with pink floyd, thankyou.

I\'m a Kiss fan.  YOU WANT THE BEST, YOU GOT THE BEST, THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD, KISS!!!!

Considering the fact that I am entirely new the the forum, my miserable self can\'t even figure out how to run the game, I will be ignored anyway, and I really am quite bored, I shall put forward an extensive list of the rock bands I listen to.

System of a down. ( My personal favorite )
Rammstein. ( A close second )
Godsmack. ( meh )

And there you have it, ( or you don\'t, depending on your level of attention ) my favorite bands. Mainstream and stereotypical true, but quite unlike the majority of listeners, I listen to them for the music rather than the public statement.

*Faldrok takes the thread back in time to 70s/80s*

And, finally, here are my top picks by number. The number refers to the bands in general. Meaning, you should look for more songs by them than what I posted. If you want, I could give more, but I don\'t want to take all the glory.

1, 4, 9, 10, 12. There is my top 5 in no particular order. Now, good day.

EDIT: Some small typos.

4 words for you:

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Period. End of discussion

Okay, so I\'m a rabid peppers fan, and thusly, extremely biased. I also love their guitarist John Frusciante\'s solo work, although that\'s a bit more of an acquired taste, esp. his older stuff.

As for which album-- well, that sort of depends on your tastes. They\'ve grown alot as musicians over their 20 yr career. I\'m not familiar with the bands you mentioned, and I live in that big penalty box known as the dial-up zone, so I\'m not about to go on a downloading spree, sadly.

There are others I like, but most have been mentioned already. And yes, Hendrix\'s rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was from the original Woodstock.

And for the constant debates over whether or not a certain suggestion is \'Rock\' and should be included in the recommendations, I point to Draklar\'s original post:

So just post whatever you think deserves recommendation.

OK, since you asked for it, here is my #1

• Yes
  

www.progarchives.com
YES formed in 1968 with Jon ANDERSON (vocals), Chris SQUIRE (bass, vocals), Peter BANKS (guitar, vocals), Tony KAYE (keyboards), and Bill BRUDFORD (drums). Well-known and influential mainstream progressive from the 1970\'s, and still around in some form ever since, they were highly influential in their heyday, especially notable for the really creative \"Relayer\".

During the 1970s, YES pioneered the use of synthesizers and sound effects in modern music. Driven by Jon\'s artistic vision, they produced such timeless, symphonic-rock masterworks as \"Roundabout\", \"Close To the Edge\", and \"Awaken\". In the 1980s, YES pushed new digital sampling technologies to their limits, selling millions of records and influencing a generation of digital musicians with classics like \"Owner Of A Lonely Heart\" and \"Rhythm Of Love\". Moving through the 1990s and into the new millennium, the band keeps expanding its ...
