Talking about Simon Says now...are you saying they are nothing new because you are comparing them to the new or newer bands around now, or because you are comparing them to the bands that were fresh on the scene like Simon Says was back in 1998 - 2002? My opinion is when that album came out in 2000, it didn't sound like other nu-metal labeled albums, it had so much tighter musicianship and better songwriting, and their sound was more built up. I will always say that their Shut Your Breath album is an overlooked gem of the nu-metal movement from the early 2000's.

Don't hate, but I was comparing to Slipknot, Korn, POD, and Limp Bizkit. I remember listening to Nu Metal bands like that back in the early 2000s on MTV. It felt like it was another one of those.

Gangster

Old sound. 60s, 70s, 80s or Older

I got several more, but in this particular case with alternative rock and christian rock. They fall under Modern Spirit.

Modern Spirit - Invigorating, Zealous, Positive, Moreso masculine.

It helps if I can transmit a sample of my playlist.

My friend, I know everyone hates people who come into threads and throw random suggestions at people instead of holding a meaningful dialogue, but I think you need to listen to The Sonics.

I'm open to suggestions and I am not one to constrain conversational material except for spam. I'll give it a The Sonics a listen, though I'd like to hear your sentiment behind it.

Big Wreck my friend.

The Sonics are awesome, I also reccomend them.

I've also been delving more into rock lately, here's stuff I've listened to:
The usual **** - AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, Queen, Mötorhead, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, early Deep Purple and Judas Priest, Pearl Jam, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Pink Floyd, the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Other - Early Riot, Montrose, Free, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Clutch, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cream, the Who, Steppenwolf. edit: The Kinks

Things I'm not sure that count - The White Stripes, The Black Keys, Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, The Smashing Pumpkins, the Pixies, Funkadelic, Arctic Monkeys.
Oh, and I guess the latest Bronx album kind of counts, it has a more hard rock sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIe6C6vKnFk.
I might have missed something.

Next on my list to listen to are Thin Lizzy and Neutral Milk Hotel.
Full list of things I want to listen to:
Alice Cooper
Can
Def Leppard
Derek and The Dominoes
Genesis
Goerge Thorogood & The Destroyers
Jetrho Tull
John Mayal's Bluesbreakers
Pavement
Rory Gallagher
Rush
Sonic Youth
The Byrds

What are some others that are reccomended?

Definitely the Kinks if you haven't heard them. Village Green Preservation Society is an incredible album. And who doesn't like "You Really Got Me"?

Definitely seconded on the Sonics. If old school garage rock sounds dated to you, you can still dig the Sonics. They're basically the point at which garage rock becomes punk, but they were around well over a decade before punk (I think their debut came out a year or so after the Rolling Stones' first album.) Even today they're still more intense than most punk bands who play much faster. And that distortion is perfect. They used to take ice picks to their amps just to make them sound more ****ed up. Yeah I know the Kinks started that, but the Sonics took it even farther.
