There's a chance you could like System of a Down, particularly their albums "Steal This Album", "Hypnotize", and "Mezmerize". In comparison to their earlier stuff, there's a minimum of screaming, and they're very interesting - lyrically and musically.

If you're okay with Tool, maybe A Perfect Circle would be more your speed. It's also fronted by Maynard James Keenan, so you may dig it.

Also, you seem to already enjoy a lot of bands my sister does. While I'm not huge on any of the following bands, she likes them, and you may too:

Taking Back Sunday
The Spill Canvas
Something Corporate
Jack's Mannequin
Dasboard Confessional
Bright Eyes
Panic! At the Disco
Plain White T's
The Apex Theory
Ra
Die Trying
Taproot
Trust Company
Puddle of Mudd
Christie Front Drive
The Promise Ring
Hellogoodbye

:ope that could help!

tool, perfect circle and system of a down don't quite cut it for me but the last year i've been listening to all but two or three of those bands your sister likes lol that list came right out of my music player. That's my struggle I'm trying to find a crossover between the two styles.

I looked up power metal (not knowing what it was) and yeah i tried listening to dragon force a few years back but a little too over powering for me. Kamelot is intriguing, just listened to them for the first time. The genre in general is great but i don't like the classic rock sound of many of the bands.
