Looking for popular rock music

[wakerider017]

Hey guys.

I recently got a 30GB iPod and looking for some good rock music to put on it.

Is there any sites out there that list this weeks/months top hits?

Thanks!

Rock is a pretty wide musical spectrum. Which type do you like best? Or put in another way, which groups do you like? We could recommend groups based on that.

Off the top off my head

Linkin Park, Nickleback, Three Days Grace, etc.

I guys you could call it modern rock... The stuff you hear on the radio.

EDIT: I live in the USA

[scoupe94]

try www.qotsa.com, it only one band, but their my favorite lol

[dllavaneras]

Hmm... pop rock osn't my strong point, but here are a few recommendations:

Ana Johnsson
Staind
Audioslave (I personally don't like the singer, but they have some awesome tracks like Cochise, Show Me How To Live)
If you like Linkin Park, Mike Shinoda (one of the singers) went solo under the name Fort Minor. Mostly Hip-Hop, but you might give it a try
Hawthorne Heights
Hourglass (this one is prog rock. Quite good :))
Incubus
Nine Times Bodyweight (They used to be called Man vs. Clock)
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Evanescence
Sublime (particularly their self titled CD)
Team Sleep (Deftones' singer Chino Moreno's side project)

Oh, if you like Nickelback, you should definitely hear "Why Don't you and I", a collaboration with Santana in his CD Shaman

[xfiftyfour]

I reccomend looking into British indie rock...there is some truly great stuff...

A few off hand:
The Subways
Maxïmo Park
Franz Ferdinand
Kaiser Chiefs
Athlete

These bands all have a really distinct sound, and you'll be 'in the know' in no time...you won't even have time for A sides, only bootlegs and B sides...a true rocker!

[dllavaneras]

Blasphemy! Chris Cornell is a god among rock singers!

Did you notice the word "personally" in my post? :rolleyes:

Many people may like him, but I think he sucks :) Your opinion may differ, and I respect that. Please respect my own opinion

Lol,

I am the most "mainstream" person you will ever meet. Not too often will see me listening to Indie music or movies.

Lol,

Those mentioned bands are very mainstream here in the UK. Worth a try.

I also suggest Kasabian, and how about Snow Patrol? Perhaps not quite "rocky" enough.

[BCains]

Aussie stuff:
Wolfmother
Gyroscope
Grinspoon
Sick Puppies
The Butterfly Effect
After the Fall
Jet

Alexisonfire
The Benefits Of Doubt
City On Fire
Ellington
The Fray
Monday In London
Rock Kills Kid

I don't consider many of those bands like Alexisonfire and Motion City Soundtrack as "popular rock," i cast them aside generally into emo, hardcore, screamo, and whatever applicable combination thereof applies. I see popular rock as more the alt-rock stuff that's on the radio every now and again... to each genre defining his own i guess ;)

[A-Dog]

Very best in modern rock, IMO..

Silversun Pickups
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Queens Of The Stone Age
Enon
Tool
Dead Meadow
90 Day Men
Low
Minus The Bear
Super Furry Animals
PJ Harvey
Appleseed Cast
Mars Volta
Brian Jonestown Massacre
Wolfmother
Pinback
Tortoise

[BCains]

Yep fair enough, i'd class it as alt/modern aswell but i wouldnt class MCS as hardcore.

To the person who started the thread, try the top artists on myspace and put
in what genre you'd like, than preview their music before you buy/download.

[amantedemúsica]

Here are some rock bands that I would recommend:
The Strokes
The Rakes
Editors
Caesars
Keane
Coldplay
Queens of the Stone Age
The Killers
Franz Ferdinand

Is there any sites out there that list this weeks/months top hits?

Thanks!

You could first start with listening to the radio or watching MTV (maybe not). Then check out iTunes or maybe type in "this week's top hits" with google.:)

Reading that list made me double take. Band for band, your list is almost IDENTICAL to mine. Great minds... :p

I cant really think of anything else to add that isn't already on this list

EDIT: Almost forgot, Less we forget "Deftones"?

[iamhammill]

I respect everyone that listens to "modern rock" if that's what you like, that's what you like.


Honestly though man, if you dig a little deeper, you can find some really really good rock and roll. Real rock and roll, with real guitars and amps, not processed effects. Stuff that sounds genuine.


To get you started:

The Wildbirds
The Shys
The Colour
Delta Spirit
The Parlor Mob
The Swinging Fingers (my band, but whatever)


They all have myspaces, should be easy to find. I really hope you give it a shot man.

[movieman76]

I would have suggested most of the bands that have already been mentioned as well as what you already have on your list. I would also suggest:


O.A.R. (of a revolution...)
Blink 182
Angels and Airwaves
Matt Nathanson

If you own all that stuff above how about taking a small step back in time and get

Based on your rock tastes that stuff should suit you just fine:D
