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.

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.

HellCell

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.

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?

Pet_Sounds

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.
