Modern Equivalents of older Bands?

I don't think there are any post-2000 bands good enough to possibly compare to the bands you mentioned.\n\nAnd Dream Theater and Queensryche both started over 20 years ago so I would hardly call them "modern".

um...yeah, i'm not that impressed with whats newer lately, but someone mentioned "3 Days Grace" and what i heard from them seems ok, - Disturbed , Evanescence , AX7  are ok too. I know most people associate those bands with a sort of "scene" or trend - which i'm old enough NOT to follow trends, and i've not bought any of those cd's or anything , i just heard. It's all just one form or another of rock , isn't it?

These aren't all new, but it's my list of bands you should know.\n\nAt the Drive-In (Pure brilliance, just go listen.)\nBear Vs. Shark (Good post-hardcore stuff)\nBlack Flag (One of the most prominently known punk bands)\nBlink 182 (Catchy pop-punk goodness)\nCaP'n Jazz (Awesome midwest emo. One of my favorites)\nDeath From Above 1979 (bass heavy noirish rock)\nDrive Like Jehu (is really good)\nFugazi (catchy stuff)\nGlassjaw (screamo/metal sort of deal, but with melodic features)\nGogol Bordello (a mix of punk and russian folk, really good)\nGreen Day (check out Dookie for the greatest of their work)\nHORSE the Band (awesome metal outfit. another of my favorites)\nHusker Du (Zen Arcade is one of the most amazing concept albums of all time)\nJimmy Eat World (really good pop/rock)\nKid Dynamite (amazing punk)\nLifetime (awesome punk with pop influences)\nThe Like Young (indie garage rock couple)\nMineral (epic, very melodic)\nMinus The Bear (just go listen)\nThe Movielife (awesome pop punk)\nNine Inch Nails (an amazing fusion of rock and industrial)\nNirvana (brought grunge to the mainstream)\nNOFX (watered down punk)\nRainer Maria (trio with primarly female vocals, very good)\nReel Big Fish (the definition of pop-ska)\n(if you like that check out the aquabats, goofy ska)\nRites of Spring (spearheaded the emo movement. And no, not the whiny emo you hear kids talking about today, real emo. It'll probably sound more like punk to you.)\nThe Strokes (indie pop at its finest)\nSunny Day Real Estate (amazing)\nTest Icicles (Brit noise-punk)

Try The Tossers who are more similar to The Pogues.  The Real McKenzies are more in the earlier DKM mold.  The Dubliners are an older, more traditional Irish music band, but you've probably heard some of their songs done by other bands.\n\nThe Tossers latest album (Valley of the Shadow of Death) is really good, as is The Real McKenzies's "10.000 Shots".

Underground bands? OK, well if you're looking for rock then the bands making waves right now are the likes of Absentee, Larrikin Love, The Pipettes, Guillemots, The Paddingtons and Pink Grease. All of those bands and more recently featured in the Camden Crawl showcase of up and coming bands, and are getting loads of publicity right now. \n\nThe best place to look for new bands in my opinion is a website called Drowned in Sound (www.drownedinsound.com). It's written by fans from all over the country, so they tend to hear bands before anyone else. That was the first place I ever heard of The Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party - and they're both huge now. Check it out!

It just depends on what you like, look at this playlist, maybe it could give you a better idea.\n\nhttp://www.winamp.com/music/browse.php?start=15&shownum=5&genre=Classic+Rock

It depends on how "old school" you are talking.  I know there's a great track by the artist "TQ" that is entitled "Paradise."  That was around 1999 / 2000 I think, but I could be wrong.  Even if it's not what you're looking for, it may be worth checking out.

I'll take on all three: Nirvana, Korn, Incubus, and Tool.  \nSimple enough!  Jet, Vines, Strokes are all throwback sounding bands, and will all be gone soon.

I can't exactly say if they are similar, but you may try to listen to "Amorphis", " Apocalyptica", " Children Of Bodom", "Nightwish", "Rhapsody", "Sentenced", "Sirenia".\n\nI hope you'll find something for your taste of music :)
