I'm not sure how many of you like rock/hard rock, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Are there any hard rock songs or albums that you guys would reccomend? For some reason I've been in the mood to listen to really hard rock songs with good guitar solos. I don't want extremely hard songs where the lead singer yells all the time, but I don't want songs that aren't hard enough either, such as Linkin Park. I also prefer male singers, for some reason.
So, anyone think I'll find anything interesting? I'm thinking of getting an album sometime soon. :bananarock: :)

I've always been a little partial to AC/DC and The Cure. I've always hated David Lee Roth. I think he has no talent, but more importantly I think he is a jerk - and I'm trying to be nice. In fact it's this guy that makes me dislike Van Halen at all. I also like some Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. Metal has many genres today - traditional, black, death, doom, hardcore, power, hair, thrash... I guess I mostly like older more classic bands. I've lost touch with the rock music scene of today. I can't name many newer bands at all.

Okay, some places have Breaking Benjamine in the Metal section, but their album saturate has some really awesome stuff on it. You can sample it Here Particulary listen to Polyamorous, Skin, Home, Water, Medicate, Next To Nothing, and Phase. I really like their most recent album, "We're Not Alone" but it has quite a bit of screaming. If you're into mellow rock Definitely check out A Perfect Circle, my favorite APC songs are; Blue, Orestes, The Noose, The Outsider, Judith, Weak and Powerless, And from Emotive; Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drum, Imagine, Annhialation. Godsmack is pretty good, check out Awake, Stand Alone, Voodoo *throb*, Bad Religion, and I F*cking Hate You.
If you're willing to change your male preference, Evanescence is pretty good. The majority of the band is male. Her vocals are amazing in that genre. *Spasms* If you are able to download any Evanescence songs check out; Going Under, Everybody's Fool, Haunted, Tourniquet, Imaginary and Whisper. I also like Lacuna Coil (Swamped and Heaven's a Lie) and check out some Jack off Jill, they have some really fun music; Strawberry Gashes, My Cat, and This Town. If you like Grunge check out Silver Chair; Suicidal Dream, and Anthem. Or Nirvana; Heart-shaped Box, All Apologies, Marijuana, and Come As You Are. |

Well I am a huge Metallica fan so I recommend them. Specifically the Black album but I would say Load is a great start for Metallica virgins.

Eibhlin you should become my best friend ^_^
Tracy if you want great rock I know that you don't want anything hard or where the lead singer screams but for example with Nirvana (which I would say if you didn't censor me with preferences ;) ) when you put the music on loud the screaming is great- you feel like he does the screaming for you. And it's just great music overall The songs are catchy while being hard But I would definitely recommend Hole otherwise- actually a lot of Jewel fans love them- she's got great lyrics and I know that not many agree with me but I absolutely love this band- it's one of my favorites Download Dying, Malibu, Northern Star, Petals, Asking for It, Burn Black, Miss World, Doll Parts, Violet, Pale Blue Eyes Believe me you'll absolutely love this. Please do |

Tracy with Nirvana you can never understand what he sings :) He always sounds like he mumbles. Besides does the " :P " mean that you don't like them?
And if you love to hear lyrics it's all the more reason why you would love Hole. Please please download them And I love both Soundgarden and AudioSlave And I love you both for mentioning it |

Yeah, I know how Kurt Cobain sings, but that's not really what I'm talking about. What I mean is in most heavy metal songs where the lead singer just yells each word and you have no idea at all what he's saying. With Kurt you get a basic idea and can make up words, but with the songs that I'm talking about the word doesn't even sound like a word, it just sounds like... a growl? A roar? I don't know, download that "Judged" song and you'll understand what I'm talking about, I hope.
Oh, and I do like Nirvana. The tounge smiley is just a silly thing that I probably use too often. :P See? lol.

Actually I will download the song to see what you mean :) But I think I got the idea. And Lissa that reminds me- I'll download anything I'm not familiar with from your list ^_^
