What are some good, current rock bands?

Asked by GD_Kimble (2285points) July 5th, 2007

I'm a huge fan of unapologetic "bring the walls down" rock n roll. My collection contains A LOT of Zeppelin, Who, Queen etc. But, other than a few acts like The White Stripes, I don't know any current acts with this kind of sound, and I want to update my tastes.

The Shys, Lola Ray, Bayside, The Lashes, The Killers, etc.

What you might do to find new music is go to finetune.com and listen to lets say "led zeppelin" playlist - and finetune will automatically play songs similar to led zeppelin songs on your playlist. Its a great place for discovering new music.

pandora.com (the music genome project) sounds a lot finetune.com. Good way to find music.

but pandora doesnt let you preview every song by an artist in the way finetune does -plus finetune loads faster

what came out earlier - pandora or finetune???

Listen to The Killers. They're a really good band that's currently enjoying some success. Also, of course, use finetune. It's a really great site, I used it to put a playlist on my blog.

i'm also a big fan of zeppelin and the who, some good current rock bands are: wolfmother, the white stripes (of course), and the strokes. to get a taste for each, i'll give you a good song by each of them to see if you like them or not, you can just look on youtube for the song and listen to it there. wolfmother-joker and the theif, the white stripes-you already know, the strokes-reptilia. hope i helped.

Interpol… an NYC band; The Black Keys… a newer, hipper version of The John Spencer Blues Explosion of the 90s; Wolf Parade (may be too on the fringe of what you are looking for).
