One more vote to breaking benjamin.
And since this is a rock thread I thought its time someone listed some alternative rock.
So
among the new bands you just have to try the following. (not all are new, they include new to me as well as those with their first commercial album)
- Hinder - if you like nickelback there is no way you would not like them, their first album Extreme Behavior. Favorite songs, 'Lips of an Angel' and 'Get Stoned'
- Three Days Grace - album OneX
- Burn Season - first album Burn Season, favorite song 'Suffering' and 'Closer'
- Tool - cant believe it was all along with me and I never even tried them, needless to say they are awesome, favorite album 10000 days.
New bands that I will try within a week (I heard them on pandora and liked it). They might end up as one song wonders for me.
- Shine Down
- Guano Apes
- The Raconteurs
- Taking Back Sunday
- Smile Empty Soul
- Imogen Heap
- Kasabian
- 30 Seconds to Mars
- Blue October
Among the regular others - 3 doors down,
Nickelback, 12 stones, staind (listen to 'right here' if you still havent), Barenaked Ladies, The Calling,
Creed, Default, Evanescence, Finger Eleven,
Seether etc etc
I dont look for a particular genre but when I really like a song it usually is alternative rock. I too dont know whats the difference between various genres of rock.
EDIT - I'll give special mention to Megan McCauley for being the only other female alt rock in my absolute favorites list.
So very true. "you are still listening to Bryan Adams!! grow up dude". However I dont play his songs these days coz I got bored. I end up listening to the album until I get bored of it. Takes a few months.
