Aha
Angerfist
Suecide Commando

Ramones and ZZ Top.

Pink Floyd, Rush and ZZ Top.
I'm also a fan of a band called Cage The Elephant. Just love their sound.

Uugh, I think they're even worse than Nickleback.

Then you, my friend, are tone-deaf.

I think the vocalist is

Honestly I know it's his "style" but...


I just don't like it.

That's the fun, they don't have a particular style. Best I can describe their stuff is "Alternative Garage Punk with a touch of Post-Blues."
Seriously, there's no way you could've listened to more than one song (I'm guessing In One Ear or Ain't No Rest For The Wicked which you must've heard from Borderlands) if you think they are worst than Nickleback.

I just used them as an example

They play them a lot on my local radio, and I've just never liked what I've heard.

WELL THEN, YOU ARE LOST!
Nah, jk. Can't corrupt them all I guess.

It's a shame how rarely mentioned The Loveless are. Even though you'd have to be off your rocker to call them metal, they have a profile on MA due to a lot of their members being in Saturnus as well. Unfortunately, they only have a single full-length out, released back in the distant 2002.

Great stuff, a dreamy mixture of Alt/goth rock and shoegaze. Or something. Either way, as one review pointed out about their only album, Star Rover: "the only thing preventing these songs from being chart-topping, catchy hits is their deep, melancholic and dreamy atmosphere". Do check these two out:

That was really good

Only for those who can stand some dreampop and gothic... still, very cool band.

I almost forgot about this amazing band..., thank you for bringing it on here

Currently high on Current 93's "Thunder Perfect Mind". Gorgeous, wistful little record that has just the right dose of eccentricity, and exactly the right amount of emotion.

Rise Against

Yeah amazing band, especially live they can make one hell of an atmosphere with their performance.

I've never seen them live but yeah for alternative mood or season, this band sounds really good.

I was reading through this thread, decided to check this out, ripped it to my cellphone and had the most enjoyable walk of my life. Thanks!

Maybe Marcel and BitterCOld remember these guys, but they seem sadly forgotten to younglings. Way better than Led Zeppelin, as far as 70s hard rock goes.

And some hipster rock band that my brother showed me this morning.

I remember listening to UFO with my dad all the time in the car.

Ahhh memories.

I've been listening to some Ear Greyhound. They are a rock trio from the states sound a bit like Led zep here and there but with bits of funk thrown in. I call it the sounds of sex.
Check out their album Soft targets, tracks to check - S.O.S, Monkey and Good.
Stream the full album here

Jaga Jazzist is another band I've been listening too. They are a collective(?) from Norway who play nu jazz with some electronica. Pretty cool stuff.

Electro Deluxe - an electro jazz band who have elements of funk and hip hop(the good hip hop)

Sorry I don't have link for all of them as I'm at work and every damn music/video site is blocked.

Glad to be of service.
A criminally underrated release, if you ask me. It's just perfect for those gay moments when you're feeling all mellow and romantic.

Hmmm :/ I'm trying to darw and admit that I listen to many blues music beside metal like Robben Ford, Robert Cray, Albert Collins... and some more

Interesting thread, though just listing could take hours....As there are so many good non-metal musicians out there.

Laibach cross my mind first, they're one of my favourite musical acts in general.

I'm gonna leave out rock and its derivates, because I think it's just too obvious (and meaningless and time consuming to list ) that rock gave us some of the best bands there are, right from the formation of the genre thorugh all the genres developing from it to nowadays creations.

The first band that comes to my mind is of course Laibach, I'm a huge fan of this musical act, combining industrial in so many different ways with so many different genres. They're simply amazing.

One of my fave pop bands is Duran Duran. I'm a huge fan of their 80s stuff as their current work, I have no idea why, I just think they're so coooooool! Can't wait to go see them live this year, yea, Duran Duran ROCKS! I have all their albums, so yea, I'm rad about them! Go DD!

David Bowie also had a pop era and his songs were just neat! All of his songs are neat though. Bowie rocks! Bowie pops! Bowie can do anything.

Michael Jackson is another pop artist that deserves nothing but glory. I'm not exactly a huge fan, but gotta admit all his hits were a success for a reason - because they were great songs.

I dislike modern pop such as Nicki Minaj and Bruno Mars. I could just shove something up the radio when playing that kind of music, but 80s gave us great pop music.
