Barenaked ladies, AC/DC and Rise Against. You can't go wrong with those...

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

Some awesome bands:

Spoiler: Cake (alternative)

Spoiler: Move (j-electro/rock/rap)

Spoiler: Sabaton (power metal)

Anything from Daft Punk is always golden in my books. Check out the album Discovery and If you like that then definitely listen to the rest of their stuff.

Also The Hives are an awesome band if you think you might like a bit more punk in your life (not super heavy punk but just enough).

 

[Deathkingo]

Korpiklaani.

Well, my taste seems pretty different to most people here, so I'll throw some things in for variety.

I'd ask what kind of genres you'd like, but then I couldn't just put down whatever I want.

Spoiler: Protest the hero

Which is off their newest album. The older stuff is more accessible, but you need to get into proggy music now. *pokes with stick*

Go on then!

Just don't listen to music, and don't label things. "Screamo" pisses me off. There are a lot of truly talented musicians in the metal genre and this new wave of teenage boys in spandex is ruining it for everyone.

I'm so glad I don't know what you're referring to. I'm guessing it's nothing like Tool

I'm well aware, what I meant by screamo is where the song is just it shouting in your ear for the duration. I don't class all metal music as "screamo". Only really what I said I class as "screamo" Sorry If I annoyed you but please don't assume because I said that means I label most music.

 

[Harlemura]

Abandoned Pools are pretty good. Well, I'm guessing they are, this is all I've listened to.
This is what I've been either listening to or, if I'm not, wanting to listen to recently. So, if you're like me, you'll like it. Although I doubt you're as cool as me.
Also, go watch Clone High. Do it. If you like the theme, you might as well, since Abandoned Pools did some background music for the show. I think...

 

[Outright Villainy]

Man that song is fun on guitar. Especially the intro riff. So satisfying.

 

[Number 6]

Korpiklaani.

I cannot stress this enough. Listen to Korpiklaani.

Try John Petrucci. He has some very tasteful guitar tone. It's heavy at times, melodic at others, but never seems to hurt my ears. He has an instrumental solo album so you don't have to be concerned about screaming/shouting.
Also, this is obligatory:

Best song ever! Listen to the whole song though because the beginning might seem weird if your not expecting it.

I offer you gems of the past, forgotten by many, not even known by most. There is more out there than what the American mainstream offers up to the teeny-boppers of this generation. There is more complex and better-written stuff out there from years gone by.

The kings of Euro Power Metal, HELLOWEEN, and their most epic song ever, from the album of the same name (part 2 of the two-part album).

...

The kings of American Power Metal/Rock Opera, SAVATAGE and one of their best songs from the album of the same name. Members of the group are also a part of the more commercially-known Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

...

One-time controversial "shock rock" 80s group, W.A.S.P. with a more emotional and heartfelt heavy metal ballad-like tune from their acclaimed conceptual album, "The Crimson Idol."

 

[Nazulu]

Like progressive rock? I love it so here is some of my favs.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Also, you can't have a music thread without someone mentioning Black Sabbath

Look through the lists at TvTropes. It's pages long and all recs for almost every genre ever. I personally am listening to Vocaloid right now. The page is here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/CrowningMusic/Vocaloid

Dear god what people can produce with Vocaloid. I love Luka's voice the most though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFf958rdfgY&fmt=35, this is one of the best. Amazing guitar solo, amazing 3-D animation, amazing voicing for Luka.

PS, if you haven't caught on, Luka is a Vocaloid, or a computer program. You feed her lyrics and a tune, she sings it. Really well, I may add.
