Suggest me some Modern stuff (90s-00s) to check out.

[GrayInvisible]

I am a classic rock fan, and I want to see if I'm missing out on any modern music. I also like New Wave, and 80s Alternative which might help. No Emo, Nu Metal, or anything with screaming.

So far, I've found 2 songs I liked

The Bravery - Unconditional

The Arctic Monkeys - Flourescent Adolescent

[Obnysalt]

Tired of looking for people to mock eh? Want them to come to you now? Good luck.

[the_red_bassist]

muse. the strokes. bloc party. angels and airwaves featuring the drummer of the offspring. thekillers OKgo

[battle_axe_of_doom]

angles and airwaves if ****ING HORRID. so are the offspring, killers, and okgo

[PsycoCheerio]

Some of the older Incubus is my favorite although i do like their newer stuff too...I'd think you should try listening to something from their Morning View album...

[HPLabonte]

I don't mind Angels and Airwaves or OK Go, but they're nothing speciall. well, I'm a big classic rock fan, but I do enjoy some modern-ish-stuff

I like The M's, Clutch (anything except their 1st album), Fireball Ministry (you'll like them if you like Sabbath), Foo Fighters, Arcade Fire, The Good The Bad and The Queen, Death From Above 1979, Silvertide, Rose Hill Drive,

[AlterEgo]

Bleh to "Angels and Airwaves". I'm a big classic rock fan too, but too many times have I heard classic rock fans say that anything past '89 is crap. The music scene is totally different now and there's such a variety of music out there that there is a possibility that you'll only like one thing that someone on these forums recommends you.

One of the things that classic rock fans get tricked into doing is listening to the radio. Trust me, just because that's the way your papa found new music, it doesn't mean that you'll like what you hear. For now, I look towards the Interweb! Blogs usually help, but it's tough to find someone that has similar tastes. I personally use http://gorillavsbear.blogspot.com/ along with other blogs.

Let's see, personal recommendations?
As for 90s, I'd recommend Radiohead, Blur, Primus, Stone Temple Pilots and Red Hot Chilly Peppers. Some of my classic rock friends recommend "Train", and you might like them, but I think they're too much of that "Yee-haw, I'm in virginia writin' about some brown eyed chick" kind of rock.

Some of the more recent groups that I listen to include Spoon, Stratospheerious, Map of Africa, The Slip, and Grand ole party (all of which can be found on iTunes, if you feel so inclined to check them out). Spoon is very indypop centric, Stratospheerious is like this awesome head tripping electric violin rock, Map of Africa is a lot like ZZ - Top mixed with techno and Black Sabbath (Download "Gonna Ride" and you'll see what I mean), The Slip started out as a sort of Fusion band, but now they're more alternative pop, and to a great effect, and Grand ole Party is this sort of garage blues rock band that has this female singer that reminds me of Janis Joplin.

Good luck on your crusade for new music, and remember, no matter how much someone says something sucks ( :Cough: Angels and Airwaves :Cough: ) you never know till you try!

[NotorietyH]

Eels

my favourite band without a doubt.

[Jarrod20]

I'd have to say

90's - Soundgarden

00's - Muse

[Ardius]

Some standard metal-
90s - Bruce Dickinson (http://www.myspace.com/brucedickinson), Psycho Motel (http://www.myspace.com/psychomotel)
00s - Iron Maiden (http://www.myspace.com/ironmaiden), Blaze Bayley (http://www.myspace.com/blazebayley)

[tombrady]

you might like velvet revolver...they have kind of a classic rock sound to them on some of their songs...

I frankly hate them except for She Builds Quick Machines which is a pretty solid song, but a lot of people like them.

also, it may not be your cup of tea, but Tool ftw :)

I love classic rock and I love Tool...but I doubt that will be the case with most people...classic rock was usually laid back and fun to listen to...Tool is very layered and musically complex but it's anything but laid back :P

[Desensitized]

Ozma
New Pornographers
The Rentals
Bikeride
Fishbone
Supergrass
Scanners
Pavement
Eels
Bicycles
Golden Dogs
Field Music

There's a nice mix. I'm sure you'll find something you like in there.

the OP clearly stated nothing with screaming yet you recommend soilwork, devin townsend, and opeth???????

Queens of the Stone Age
Little Sister (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c-4krcj9JI&mode=related&search=)

[Chthonic]

I was too lazy to sort out the list. Besides, Devy and Opeth have songs without any growling or screaming in them.

[geo2n2]

Electric Six

Catchy, silly, electric guitar rock that doesn't take itself very seriously, but still rocks.

I like these guys a lot and I'm a big 80s fan. Some of their stuff has a retro feel to it.

[Desensitized]

Oh yeah, Urge Overkill if you've never heard them before.

'Saturation', 'Exit The Dragon', and 'Supersonic Storybook' albums (in that order) are the best to start with.

[AlterEgo]

Ok, I compiled a list. You guys can keep suggesting songs. I'll start going through this tomorrow.

Be sure to tell us how that goes, It'd be interesting to find out what you end up liking.

[Coldplayer]

I am a classic rock fan, and I want to see if I'm missing out on any modern music. I also like New Wave, and 80s Alternative which might help. No Emo, Nu Metal, or anything with screaming.

So far, I've found 2 songs I liked

The Bravery - Unconditional

The Arctic Monkeys - Flourescent Adolescent

Listen to

Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)
The Kooks - Naive
Bloc Party - Kreuzberg
Death Cab For Cutie - We Look Like Giants
Stars - Window Bird

for the beginning.

[Eclegg]

How about Me First and the gimme gimmes or A New Found Glory. Great covers of classic '80s, '90s, and 2000 with a punk flavor twist to added to them. worth a listen.

Listening to: The Waitresses - Happy Birthday

[KillerIsMe]

Soundgarden
Silverchair
Radiohead

Just some that popped into my head.

[idiotec]

Radiohead
Bloc Party
Interpol
Wolfmother
Artic Monkeys
Deftones
Tool

[Zidane]

If you like Classic Rock, but want a new band to listen to try the Rock 'n Roll Soldiers. I listened to them a long time ago on the Rock and Roll Geek Show and they totally changed my life. They're the best modern rock band out there.

[MondoX44]

Clutch. definately Clutch. their rock is about the hardest I've ever heard. the speakers on my TV vibrate like hell whenever I hear them on my XBOX360.

[GrayInvisible]

I have a pretty big list. basically, I'll get 4 songs from each band, and listen to them.

I started listening to Muse. I like what I hear so far.

[Jarrod20]

Good to hear that. They should definetely be included in Rock Band.

[sam_genocide]

Cannibal Corpse they have some scraming but its more like gutteral growling but the drums and guitar would be great for rock band. also rock band needs more metal

or maybe you can get some more smashing pumkins

[foulfoul50]

rock n roll soldiers- funny little feeling and anthem

[wolfmanforever]

Based on your taste:

Bloc Party
Soundgarden
Modest Mouse
Muse
Franz Ferdinand
The Hives

In that order.

[GrayInvisible]

Here's what I have so far.
Like
Muse

Meh
Bloc Party
Fireball Ministry
Foo Fighters

Hate
Incubus
Clutch

[battle_axe_of_doom]

if you like folk-y type mellow stuff, then check out woven hand and 16 horsepower

[GrayInvisible]

if you like folk-y type mellow stuff, then check out woven hand and 16 horsepower

I don't like that type of stuff. I like Simon and Garfunkel, but usually no.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

well they're not really folky a lot of the time. the album i'm listening to is mostly piano driven but it has that folk feel but oh well. i'll look through my library and see what you might dig

[battle_axe_of_doom]

ok how about jeff buckley??

songs by jeff buckley that you should check out:

mojo pin
the sky is a landfill
grace
nightmares by the sea
eternal life

[WingsOfSteel]

Wolfmother is the cliche modern band for Classic Rock fanboys to like, so I'm surprised they haven't been mentioned.

I'd suggest Where Eagles Have Been, Joker and the Thief, and Mind's Eye as their best songs.

[coheedandcambriaman1]

00 coheed and cambria

[Eman311]

Incubus (morning view and make yourself)

Muse (showbiz,origin, and absolution)

Minus the Bear

Radiohead

[HPLabonte]

[GrayInvisible]

what Clutch did you check out?

I forget, but nothing off their first album.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

did u listen to jeff buckley yet :\

[GrayInvisible]

did u listen to jeff buckley yet :\

He's pretty close on the list. I need to speed this up. In 2 bands I'll be at him. I usually do 2 at a time.

[A_Perfect_TOOL]

A Perfect Circle :D

see:

The Hollow
Thomas
Orestes
The Package
Pet
Gravity
Passive

and if you can find it, there's a live mp3 floating around of "Diary of a Lovesong" which is a ****ing amazing cover which combines "Lovesong" by The Cure and "Diary of a Madman" by Ozzy into this bad ass, ubersong.

[undertow]

Check out Earshot - Get Away: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZj0q4QRgO8

[bounchfx]

a couple of sweet bands were recommended. also check out dredg, amazing band:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63APMZC8o7w
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQM5GqxRAYs


not opening yourself up to any screaming is going to knock a HELL of a lot of amazing bands off your listening schedule but hey if it's not your thing thats fine, but if you just don't even want to try to get into it, whatever duder!

[GrayInvisible]

My Flight of the Conchords EP came today. I forgot to mention I liked them.

Anyway, I disliked radiohead, and so far I like Rose Hill Drive.

[AlterEgo]

It's kind of interesting that you disliked Radiohead and like Muse at the same time. Some Muse songs sound a little like early Radiohead.
But, eh whatever, no fake (http://youtube.com/watch?v=3-F5L1S7LKU&mode=related&search=radiohead%20live) plastic (http://youtube.com/watch?v=HDS4wOd_o1I&mode=related&search=radiohead%20live) trees for you.

[Camaro17]

check out Jet

[battle_axe_of_doom]

Battles is great "math rock"

[GrayInvisible]

I need to stop wasting time and not working on this. I always fall back and listen to my old stuff instead of getting new stuff. I'm downloading Jeff Buckley and Battles.

If I like a band a lot, I will buy their albums.

[Avalancha]

Tool(90-present) and A perfect Circle(00s) are two awesome bands.

[rockst01]

If you like Classic Rock, check out Pearl Jam. They are a grunge band that have a classic hard rock sound. Try the album Ten, it's their first album and one of the best albums of all time in my opinion.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

he's repeatedly said he doesn't like grunge in other threads so i doubt he'll like pearl jam
