Contemporary Rock Recommendations Needed!

Wilde

Hi All,

I am an avid Rock and Metal listener, however mainly older music. Favourite bands inc. (but not limited to) Led Zeppelin FTW, AC/DC, The Move, Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult, Rush, Alice in Chains, The Ramones, Ted Nugent, Pixies, Iron Maiden, Megadeath, Judas Priest, Metallica, Motorhead, CCR, Cream, Humble Pie etc.

At the moment I am looking for more contemproary rock bands, along the line of Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, The Dead Weather etc.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

can I suggest Airbourne?

If you like Rush.. Perhaps modern Prog and Metal bands such as Dream Theater, Opeth, Tool and Porcupine Tree would be worth checking out.. Also those 4 bands will open up a whole world of other bands such as Pain Of Salvation, A Perfect Circle, Between the Buried and Me, Devin Townsend and Meshuggah:)

Pain of Salvation's latest is a lot more Rock than previous outings, so might suit well.

I'd also highly recommend checking out Green Carnation.

You might as well check out Opeth while your at it( for the metal) blackwater park is a good a start as any!
svn fngrs by frank black is brilliant.
Biffy Clyro are a good band also.

System Of A Down are a daycent band imo

The Crooked Vultures album is very good alright. You should listen to some post-rock..like The Mars Volta or Casbian(listen to Moksha by Casbian...****ing spine-tingling!)

Useful.Idiot

yeah System Of A Down is a good shout.

I also echo the suggestions of Biffy Clyro (probably my favourite rock band), Porcupine Tree, Tool, A Perfect Circle and Opeth (if you're looking to tread the waters of more metal stuff)
