Good rock artists?
 

I was wondering does anybody could tell me 'bout some good rock artists? I started to like this kind of music just lately so i don't know much about it:)
I like ambient, sad/dark/depressing stuff (PJ Harvey, music from Silent Hill series,Poe and also Sonic Youth wchich i discovered couple of days ago) or crazy/noisy songs(shiina ringo/tokyo jihen). garbage and no doubt are also very coll but they're more pop/mainstrem.

I'd help you out but it seems you're trying to get into english rock o.O *doesn't know much about english rock besides Linkin Park* XD

If you're into Jrock, well- there's a few other people in the forum besides myself who can help you out ^v^V

well it doesn't matter if it's japanese or english, i just want it to be good:)
it's just that mostly i don't like japan mens voices(not that i heard much of them) Then again there;s this one guy whose voice i like, but i don't knowhis name, maybe u guys know? It's the man who sang hairo no hitomi and faces with shiina ringo(maybe these are two different guys, i'm not quite sure)

For English artists:
Linkin Park (heh heh.. i cant help it)
Mudvayne
A Perfect Circle

Japanese:
Dir en grey
Kagrra,
Gazette
Kagerou
Kalimero
Nightmare
Rentrer en Soi
and the list could go on....

well, the list for jrock does go on and on, lol. ^ I love jrock though, good stuff

Errrm 'My Chemical Romance' are pretty good?I like them qite a bit, also 'Rammstein' are brilliant, but they sing in German.

My Chemical Romance is ok.... I don't follow them that much so I can't really say MUCH on them- but the songs are ok, I think.

And Rammstein- I've heard the name pop up from time to time but I don't know their work n.n;;;

Ah. I love making recommendations. Some good bands you already listed there. In any case, here we go. Ultra short descriptions, and, more important, MP3s, just listening is the best.

The Flaming Lips (USA)

Great band; experimental, psychedelic music. Astonishing melodies, brilliant musicians, flat-out brilliant band.

Explosions In The Sky (USA)

These guys hail from Texas. Astonishing. Wow. Their music makes me lose my breath. And I'm at loss of words, too. Just listen.

Death In Vegas (UK)

Holy bugger. The future of rock.

Envy (Japan)

Envy = incredible. I mean. One of the best bands ever to have roamed this earth, period.

Mono (Japan)

Ouch. So good, it hurts.

Alamo Race Track (Holland)

Amazing.

Thursday (USA)

Supersweet.

Low (USA)

Yes.

Film School (USA)

Yeah baby.

The Velvet Underground (USA)

Classic psychedelic.

Sorry for the short descriptions, but listening is, as I said, the best thing to do. Awesome stuff, all of it.

/edit/

MP3s deleted!

OOOoooOOooo

*bookmarks thread so she can take the time to listen*

There's some more I'd like to recommend and upload MP3s of (out of space now) - just say so when you downloaded these song, and I'll upload some new ones (My Bloody Valentine, Karate, Novastar, etc.).

More on the Indie Rock side, but definately The Killers. If you like ambient/sad/depressing type stuff, check out Interpol. I like their second album, "Antics".

For fun bouncy retro feel check out Franz Ferdinand (though some of their songs have that sad side to them) and The Hives.

I may upload some stuff later.

Thanks, sxesven! Oh, and listen to him, The Flaming Lips are great.

Thanks for all the mp3s!

Sven always has good taste. :yes

:yes

Thank U!
 

Thank You all for your answers and a big thanks to Sxesven for the files! I downloaded them and in a while i'll know if i like them:) Right now i'm listening to Lost Snow (I like the title) and i do like it, it reminds me of Akira Yamaoka's compositions for Silent hill a little bit.

Once more THANK YOU!

No problemo. Already got all of them? If so, I got some more. :yes

so far i really like almost all of these songs, but i could listen to them only once or not at all cuz i have to study:(

I downloaded death in vegas whole and from what i heard it's goooooood:)

The only song wich i listened a couple of times is Lost Snow(its a kind of song that you can study to), and i just love it. So, if you got some free time, maybe you could upload some more mono's files(maybe the whole album if it isn't asking too much, cause i couldn't find it anywhere)

Once more: Thank You! really

I uploaded Mono's 'Walking cloud and deep red sky, Flag fluttered and the sun shined' album here! Enjoy!

And indeed, Death In Vegas is brilliant!

Greenday
Linkin Park
Hoobastank
Evanecence
U2
P.O.D

I dunno if some of those are really ROCK ROCK, but nonetheless good stuff, I know a few more I juss cant remember ><

sven: I gotta check some of those artists out, I really wanna get some new stuff. *marks sven as not only my father but as my music guru* :hi5

:yes Haha :laugh

BTW, I think I remember you once saying you liked Mogwai or something, right? In any case, if so, check out the Mono album I posted up for download. If you didn't say that, still check it out. :laugh

Thaaank You Sooooooo Much!!!!

This album is... I can't find the words to describe it! Guess it's true what's written on their site- "their music is like a soundtrack to the end of the world". I listened to it in a complete silence last night instead of studying and the effect was amazing:) But i couldn't handle any task on my test:P

About that "haiiro no hitomi" song, it's sung along with a guy called Kusano Masamune. I dunno anything else about him though.

If you like 'crazy', maybe you'll appreciate these 'cos they're fast heavy metal songs with good decent melodies. Sonata Arctica and Blind Guardian are two good bands I recommend for that type of music.

hmmm i know lots of english rock:

staind
a perfect circle
bush
collective soul
pearl jam
godsmack
green day
incubus
hoobastank
nickelback
nirvana
red hot chili peppers
saliva
seether
velvet revolver

...i love american/english rock!!!

Haha, too bad about the best, but other than that, I know exactly how you feel. A stunning album, best thing released in the whole of 2004. Brilliant!

oh snap! ya! thanx! I juss havent been around theer since I moved and my internet is down @_@ But if they do connect it today Ill get to it *bows samurai style* :hi5

thanks guy!! :shimmy

Thanks for the new recomendations:)

omg, sxesven, "have you passed trough this night" is stunning!

Definitely. :yes

Normally i would recommend Linkin Park.. however ever since they "joined forces" with Jay-Z and came up with their lil collaboration CD... > < i've lost interest... however Mike Shinoda and Mr. Hahn is STILL hot :yes

Cake
Foo Fighters
Prodigy
Bowling For Soup

I might be genre-jumping here :paperbag

ahh how could i forget... RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS!!!

based on your likes and dislikes, I can only recommend my absolute favorite band of all time, The Gathering. They aren't well known at all because they used to have a very dark metal sound, but evolved to become an incredible blend of dark pop and spacey rock. Their singer is a female, most AMAZING voice... their sound... I can't describe it, but on their two "non-metal" albums, their influences are things like Coldplay, Damien Rice, Radiohead etc. though they sound like none of them. I guess the sound is sort of just dark, but still very alive and warm. For albums, I recommend "How to Measure a Planet?" or "Souvenirs", the two non-metal albums, but for individual songs I recommend "Amity", "Broken Glass", "Even the Spirits are Afraid", "Rescue Me" (very Ayu-ish song in my opinion...), "My Electricity"... I could go on and on. But this should be enough to start. Amazon has album samples and such if you want to check that out. I'd link them here, but I'm on a friend's computer with a slow connection, so...
