Okay, I've been trying to get into new music, because my friends are all tired of listening to my Bullet For My Valentine and Dream Theater.

That said, what are some other good metalcore and prog-metal bands, and are there any prog-metalcore acts out there? Prob'ly a stupid question, I know, but meh...

Is listening to Hüsker Dü and it's hurting my head. I've never given hardcore punk a try before and New Day Rising is considered my first hardcore album? Is it a band thing my head hurts from listening to this?

It takes a while to get accustomed to their sound. Considering you're more alt oriented you might want to check out Flip Your Wig or Candy Apple Grey, they're more alty. Then try Zen Arcade.

Where to start with The Replacements?

Let It Be was my starting point, but Tim is also goodto start.

If those are anything like leatherface I'm interested, and I've heard of hot water music before.

if you like leatherface you're almost guaranteed to enjoy hot water music, fuel (not the popular band of the same name), and samiam, as well as blacktop cadence whom i forgot to list.

the others have a more traditional hardcore punk sound, but are still worth looking into for any punk fan.

Between The Buried And Me. Now.

Been down that road and back again. Love their stuff, and I just got into God Forbid. Both bands happened courtesy of Rock Band. God I love this game...

Metalcore:

Darkest Hour

Adversary

Prog/prog-metal:

Circus Maximus
Redemption
Fates Warning
Riverside
Queensryche
Thought Chamber
Pathosray
Pagan's Mind

EDIT: Just read your above post, for God Forbid, get Gone Forever. Very good metalcore album, but really I like everything God Forbid has released.
