My faves are Metallica (their older stuff is better, IMO, with the Metallica album being best), Pantera, The Offspring, Green Day, Iron Maiden, Nirvana, Ozzy Osbourne or Black Sabbath, Kiss, and AC/DC.  And I know I'm forgetting some, but they're not coming to me right now.\n\nSome of the best separate songs are "Cum on Feel the Noize" by Quiet Riot, "Slow Ride" by Foghat, "Frankenstein" by The Edgar Winter Group,  "Flirtin' with Disaster" by Molly Hatchet, and, if you're feeling nostalgic (or just haven't heard the song in more than a year :P ) "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynrd is always fun ;--)\n\nI'd stay away from some of the newer stuff that calls itself rock.  I really classify it as emo and it's not very good (All American Rejects, Fall-out Boy, etc.)

Try Brand New, Dashboard Confessional, Death Cab for Cutie, The Academy Is..., Anberlin, Armor for Sleep, As Tall As Lions, Broken Social Scene, Cute Is What We Aim For, Daphne Loves Derby, The Decemberists, Desaparecidos, The Early November, Elliott Smith, The Format, Further Seems Forever, The Get Up Kids, Imogen Heap, Iron and Wine, Juliana Theory, The Lyndsay Diaries, Matchbook Romance, Motion City Soundtrack, Plain White T's, The Postal Service, Reggie and the Full Effect, Relient K, Rilo Kiley, The Rocket Summer, Rocky Votolato, The Scene Aesthetic, The Shins, Sigur Ros, Straylight Run, Snow Patrol, Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, The Spill Canvas, The Starting Line, Sunny Day Real Estate, Taking Back Sunday, This Day And Age.\n\nThey may not all be techinically classifed as "emo," but I always considered them somewhat emo. If they're not emo, they're indie or alt rock :) I hope this helps you!

AWESOME! Rock is a powerful force in the past causing parents, politcians and naysayers to go nuts! Especailly in the 1980's. The '70s, not so much controversy, but still one of the better eras full of Black Sabbath, Zepplin, Judas Priest, Dio. The '80s had tons of awesome acts like GNR and Def Leppard. I still love some of the strange lyrics and songs of the '90s much of which is Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains with a bit of Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's sad to me that rock music isn't pissing enough people off and some of it is just terrible. Sure bands like Velvet Revolver, Audioslave and Red Hot Chili Peppers are great, but we need some new blood in rock! Hopefully more bands like Avenged Sevenfold will come out soon.
