I am DYING in this world of rock for some new music. It seems like music is taking a long break. Here's a list of bands that I enjoy:

for classic rock, generally:
aerosmith, ac/dc, america, beatles, bto, blue oyster cult, black sabbath, doobie brothers, deep purple, elo, elton john, foghat, foreigner, genesis, heart, jefferson airplane, john lennon, led zeppelin, peter frampton, peter gabriel, pink floyd, rush, steppenwolf, steve miller band, steely dan, supertramp, van halen, NOT hagar!, yes, and zz top.

newer:

30 secs to mars, all-american rejects, afi, aqualung, aberdeen city, alpinestars, blink 182, blondie, blue oyster cult, bright eyes, buckcherry, caesars, coldplay, death cab for cutie, depeche mode, deftones, dirty pretty things, eisley, evanescence, faithless, flyleaf, foo fighters, franz ferdinand, frou frou, garbage, gwen stefani, hellogoodbye, hinder, hard-fi, jet, korn, kidneythieves, katy rose, KIDNEYTHIEVES!, living things, louis xiv, lovedrug, mae, nirvana, no doubt, nine inch nails, oasis, oar, orgy, panic!at the disco, paramore, phoenix, placebo, plain white t's, resident evil, she wants revenge, snow patrol, sneaker pimps, taking back sunday, tatu, tegan and sara, the donnas, the dresden dolls, the fray, the killers, the libertines, the ramones, the shins, the smiths, the sounds, the spill
canvas, the strokes, the subways, the used, the veronicas, the white stripes, wolfmother, and yeah yeah yeahs.

I'd prefer recommendations from both tastes, like a wolfmother taste for classic rock and a kidneythieves/seether taste for modern.

see your other thread for the knowledge you seek. one thread would have been enough.

I like listening to Tokyo Police Club.
They are an Indie band but they really play good music.
Their song "Your English Is Good" is my favorite.

You should listen to The Magnetic Fields, nowhere near what you referenced but Stephin Merritt is a genius.
