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
