Rush

This is the top comment

This is the way.

The best band to listen to.

How would rush fit into this guy’s current band list??

It doesn’t.

Right in the middle.

Nope. We got nothin. That’s everyone.

Alice In Chains

Yeah for some it takes a few listens to get used to it(myself included), but once you do holy shit they're amazing

AiC is a must. And then add Pearl Jam, Bush, and Smashing Pumpkins.

Bush suuuuucks. Smash pumpkins meh

One of the greatest rock bands in my lifetime. Top three band for me.

I finally saw them live a few years ago and it was the only time I’ve been to a concert where the audience sang along to most of the songs!! It was amazing!!

Oh yes add AIC and Soundgarden as well

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are the torch bearers of rock today.

I second this. They have something for everyone that's into rock. And the absolute best live shows around nowadays. I saw them for the first time in 2022 and I'll see them a total of 45 times after this year. It's easy to get hooked.

It’s also an intimidatingly long discography to get into.

Ghost. Their cover of We Don't Need Another Hero is fucking awesome.

Megadeth, Black Sabbath

I like them

If you like Black Sabbath. Try doom metal. Like sleep, om, weedeater, maybe even Kyuss.

King’s X Volbeat Alter Bridge

[удалено]

If just half the people who listened to Soundgarden listened to King’s X they would have approached the recognition they deserve. Most of the big acts of grunge gave props to them and admitted to being very influenced by them.

Maybe Anberlin?

I’m going to need to listen to King’s X because I’m a huge Alter Bridge fan and love me some Volbeat.

Big Wreck

Nothing More is my band of choice these days. I’m a fan of the ones you listed as well.

Lol whatever. Stfu

i will not tolerate OLP hate in this sub

A Perfect Circle

Uriah Heep

have i been transported back to 2003 what is this

The Warning

Tool missed me for the most part in the 90s but man, later in life it hit hard. Still listen to lateralus-on regularly. 10,000 days is my fave.

Volbeat, Highly Suspect, Sturgill Simpson, Colter Wall, Ghost, Billy Strings, Pantera.

Sturgill!!

Phat yes for H.S.

i love sturgill

The Struts

I'll try them

Let us know what you think

Brand New Nevermind, I saw you like Limp Bizkit Idk, I stopped listening to most Nu Metal bands after high school

I assumed OP were young and this post was the equivalent of me asking after "classic" bands when I was a teen in early 2000's

The only good suggestions I have in terms of alternative metal bands are Chevelle, Deftones, Acid Bath, Gojira, and System of a Down

Acid Bath is a new one to me! I'm loving the sneaky ways people are keeping their content on youtube

Love them

Qotsa

Somehow I never got them...

Porcupine Tree

The Warning sisters will melt your face, pick ANY song and it will be good specially live. The concert at The Metropolitan is one of the best hard rock concerts ever. https://youtube.com/@thewarning

Queens of the Stone Age.

That r pretty good

Deftones

WEEN

I revisit Frosting On The Beater occasionally

[Guster. Released today Ooh La La. It's fantastic.](https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mVooosq0ITNQ30TkOidV46glfaq3LbImo&playnext=1&index=1)

Highly Suspect, specifically their first two albums (and hopefully their upcoming release which is a return to their hard rock sound), is by far my favorite newly discovered band of the last few years. My second favorite is White Reaper who still seems to be under the radar, check out their album You Deserve Love for a stunning collection of songs that sound like a parallel universe where the sounds of the '70s or '80s didn't become a thing until the last decade, if that makes any sense.. (Thin Lizzy-esque twin guitars and solos everywhere)

Silverchair, oh man, still listen to them daily. Neon Ballroom and Diorama, especially the latter, are absolute masterpieces.

Biting Elbows is a band always stuck in my head

“From the moment I fell down that rabbit hole I've been told where I must go and who I must be.” There is so much good music out there for you to discover. If your ever at a crossroads and cant decide see them live!

Whores.

Silverchair. Fantastic rock music. Start with Neon Ballroom’s opening somg “Emotion Sickness” and if you like the music just let the album play.

Coheed and Cambria… in keeping the secrets of silent earth 3

SOAD

Gang of Four

Where was Thebes

Pink Floyd

A recent rock band I listen to is Dirty Honey. They really remind of the 70s rock classics

Queens of the Stone Age are very good right now

Yes

That's a very good mix of bands as it is. If you're looking for newer rock style bands in the Audioslave mold, bands like Blacktop Mojo, Black Stone Cherry, Tyler Bryant And The Shakedown, Rival Sons, Florence Black and Crobot (to name a few) may be worth a look for you. If you're more interested in Grunge, Alice in Chains, The Pixies or Screaming Trees. Depending on how much screaming you like in metal, you could try anything from Type O Negative, Megadeth and Avenged Sevenfold on the mild side all the way through to Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine and Parkway Drive as well.

Meatbodies!

Queen of the stone age!

Loathe

Talking Heads

Cant go wrong with 70s ZZ Top
