Brendan Benson
The Black Keys
Broken Bells
Cage the Elephant
Franz Ferdinand
The Fratellis
The Good, the Bad, and the Queen
The Heavy
The Hold Steady
Interpol
The Mars Volta
Portishead
Portugal. The Man
Queens of the Stone Age
The Strokes
Jack White
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

You can assume that I'm familiar with an artist's former associations (e.g. Blur, The White Stripes). Any recommendations, preferably artists who are active today?

Have you thought about stepping into genres that are alien to you? You will end up finding a ton of new music. Well music that is new to you anyways.

Spotify and Lastfm are good for finding recs close to similar artists. You could try going through the history of different genres. Check out the education of threads that we have around.

I guess I wasn't clear: I'm a music nerd. My background is in classic rock, psychedelic soul, and hip-hop. I've been listening to more alternative rock lately specifically because it was "alien" to me. Well, maybe not alien, but less familiar anyway. I'm looking for artist recommendations, preferably not country, metal, or progressive.

What I like about Pandora vs. those other radio apps is the ability to add multiple artists to your station, rather than creating a station based on a single artist or your iTunes library. With Spotify, etc., unless I've missed something, you have to pay to do that.

Hey folks! Someone suggest some dark RnB songs to me. I'm into the likes of The Weeknd and JMSN. Thanks

Basically you are looking for alternative R&B as some may call it.

Does anyone have any info on a band called "No More Buffalo" or maybe "Know More Buffalo"? I saw them open for Steve Earle in L.A. once a while ago but can't find any information on them anywhere.

Well there's "the Monster" and "Berzerk" by Eminem, and "Bad Blood" by Bastille.

Those were released just a few months ago, but if you want to go back to last year there's the immensely popular "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons, and "Get Lucky" by DP.

Hello,
some time ago I found this incredible band called Black Rebell Motorcycle Club and have since loved their music. But after listening to their songs, there have always been two songs that struck me in a different.. Interesting way:
(I'd love to post links but apparently I can't since I'm a new user so sorry guys)

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Ain't no easy way

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Shuffle your feet

I really hope you guys can help me find some similar songs or actually even better, similar artists which play that kind of music.
Personally.. I would describe those songs as a mix of rock and.. Country but then again.. What the hell do I know

Well, it's fairly late here in Germany an I still want to catch so sleep.. But thanks a lot in ahead!

Try some Steve Earle!
