Good Rock Music

[Fetus]

Could someone please turn me on to some good modern rock music or any era for that matter...? I am giving Hip Hop a rest for a while. After working for a blog that I had to post nothing but the most mainstream God awful Hip Hop around I have been turned off the genre completely for now and am looking to get turned on to other music I have missed out on.

Lately I have picked up the White Stripes again and still like them a lot so anything similar I'm sure I'd like, but anything that's cool please throw out there.

super fantastic psychedelic/stoner rock. the sound quality of this video fucking sucks, but it gives you a good idea. this is one of my most listened to albums.

that new graveyard album is pretty sick

this band isn't so recent but still awesome regardless, if you dig white stripes this is somewhat similar, also sounds like velvet underground

Go to the roots, that's my philosophy. Starting with the old blues guys is a great way to do it. But if you're not someone who appreciates the technical-historical aspect of the music you might want to fast forward to classic rock, where the white guys steal the blues guys music and pop it up: Led Zeppelin! They define rock, as far as I'm concerned (and not so much heavy metal, anymore.)

Catchy:

Groovy:

Nice, I like that. Forgot to mention that I'm looking for some blues rock as well but I suppose mentioning the white stripes kind of covered that. Now to listen to the rest of what's in the thread

Ahhh yes, classic rock never fails me. I like both songs but I prefer groovy

There is just so much more, but I consider all of these essential listening in the rock vein.

King Crimson - In The Court Of (first album)

god yes. king crimson is one of my favorite bands. in the court of the crimson king is an easy listen compared to their other stuff, but if you can dig it, listen to "islands" and "red" a few times. seriously some of the best music ever made. islands will give you a good feel of the sinfield/collins era stuff, and red will give you a good feel for the wetton/bruford era stuff.

john wetton has the best voice for king crimson without a doubt. on top of those fantastic basslines, jesus. i'm going to listen to my KC records all day now.
if you've got 12 minutes to spare:

If you have itunes subscribe to the KEXP song of the day and live session podcasts. You get a lot of free music so it's easier to decide what you like.

mewithoutYou is my favorite band:


Lately I've been in to Active Child (which you admittedly, probably won't like)


Nick Lowe


Louis XIV and The Rapture are good in a completely different way too.

Also if you sign up for Insound.com's weekly email thing they have a lot of digital mixtapes you can download for free.

Plus they sell cool shit.
