Well I am again wishing to add to my cd collection, what cds of rock groups are good that are out there.  Just make any suggestion, because I don't have very many so it is likely that I do not have it.  I just got My Chemical Romance and Green Day, while they aren't my favorites, I think they are good cds.  So, shoot away.

it'll be hard as hell to get there disk(s) if you live outside of southern england though

Geneva - Further / Weather Underground

Quite hard to find them nowadays, though; the band split after their second album a few years back.  Absolutely brilliant records; they sound a wee bit like this, which is the lead singers new band.  But AFAIK they've only released a hard-to-find demo.

Try an er... *cough* musical obtainment source of the P2P flavour *cough* search for 'amnesia valley'; that's probably their best song.

i am quite fond of my copy of dimmu borgir's death cult armageddon

[kasperl]

I don't listen much rock outside Green Day and Dutch stuff like Krezip (Pretty ok, they do sing English. Don't want to know how you're gonna get any CD's of em outside thie little country.)

Dropkick Murphy's are ok too.

[Night Hammer]

My Chemical Romance....pretty good cd

[Black Wolf]

If you want really good stuff, you can't limit yourself to what's still new. Don't forget Guns and Roses, ACDC, Led Zeppelin etc.

Queens of the stone age - Songs for the deaf

[Janos]

V/Vm Test Records has the best musical **** ever done, I mean listen to this unbeliavable song. That's top art right there.

Serious note: I just spent today listening to Death In Vegas, Meat Beat Manifesto, Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Tomahawk, Underworld, David Holmes and Aavikko. Some Add (N) to (X) and older KMFDM, and a bit of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Emperor, to the mix and you have really weird yet good collection which can drive you totally insane in the work so you end up as a brainless zombie feasting on the flesh of the fallen co-workers whos' lives have been empty and meaningless and full of grey pain so actually you are just helping them by taking that demonoid burden off their skinny shoulders who have carried so many misdeed and wrongs, actually you become a godlike entity with infinite superpowers and can fight gods and **** and you become iridescent so you can just blind all those hot goth chicks that suddenly appeared around you when you were crying in your dorm that is painted black and smells of rotten food and something unpleasant which you are not aware o

****ing hell. Ever heard of full stops?

What do you mean by "rock" music, adwight? That's a very broad term, 'specially these days. (Eg. you get some people who think that Franz Ferdinand are a rock band... )

Try these for a start:

Rage Against the Machine - self-titled, Renegades, Battle of Los Angeles
(politically-based lyrics. One of the best guitarists in the world - Tom Morello - played with this band. He now plays with Audioslave)

Audioslave - self-titled
(after RATM's singer left, the rest of the band hooked up with Chris Cornell - former Soundgarden vocalist - to form this band. Awesome heavy rock, with Tom Morello's genius guitar work)

AC/DC - anything, but particularly Back in Black, Highway to Hell, For Those About to Rock
(the classic rock outfit. Blues-based riffery and brilliant songs)

Faith No More - anything, particularly Angel Dust, King For A Day
(Hugely respected band. They played songs inspired by everything from 70's soul, to hip-hop, to thrash metal. Fronted by one of the most versatile singers ever - and complete fruitcake -Mike Patton)

Tomahawk - self-titled, Mit Gas
(One of Mike Patton's post-FNM projects. Schitzophrenic weirdness, but brilliant stuff. Buy online - might be hard to find in standard record shops)

EDIT: And Janos, wtf was that.... thing you linked to?

EDIT THE SECOND: Ooh, here's a tip for all you black metal fans - go and get Enslaved's new album, ISA. I just got it (on double grey vinyl LP, no less :thepimp: ), and it's fantastic. I've not heard anything like it before. The atmosphere it creates is awesome - awesome as in "whoa, what the hell is that?", not "OMG r0x0r!!11" awesome.

My roomate just got the Velvet Revolver CD for christmas. Very good CD.
Myself, I have been listening to Pearl Jam, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and the odd bit of Audioslave.

i don't really know

edit: I forgot about Purulent ****face. Needless to say, that isn't really good music. Actually it's not music at all. Actually you can listen to them yourself! http://www.murdergrind.de/psf/ jesus christ

[pyro-manic]

Ouch. Sounds like a Shivan comm node...

[IceFire]

Matthew Good is my current favorite for Rock music.  Been looking for some other good rock bands to pick up...

[MicroPsycho]

Matthew Good Band was good, he's not as good since he lost the 'band' part , they're just not the same anymore.

Adwight have you ever heard of Rhapsody? quite an interesting band, though you might be hard-pressed to find their cds outside....Europe I guess.

[Fineus]

Right now I'm going through a whole Guns N Roses phase - but still listening to Muse and The Cooper Temple Clause quite a lot as well. All worth checking out if you ask me.

I disagree. I liked White Light Rock and Roll Review more than some of MGB's stuff.
