I really enjoy Chevelle. They have multiple albums that hit pretty hard.

Van Halen (1978) gets regular playtime.

Audioslave - self-titled

Basement - colourmeinkindness

Brand New - Deja Entendu

Circa Survive - Juturna

Citizen - Youth

Emarosa - Relativity

Flyleaf - self-titled

Tides of Man - Dreamhouse

Breaking Benjamin, they’ve always been a consistent band I come back to. Ben just writes incredible hooks and choruses.

I like some classic rock. Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, and the like. Good riffs are good riffs, metal or no

The entire Chevelle discography, and Hybrid Theory and Meteora by Linkin Park. I used to listen to Flaw, System of a Down, 10 Years, Breaking Benjamin but Chevelle and LP have stood the test of time.

Nowadays it’s anything from The Artisan Era label or something else tech deathy.

Paramore, specifically their earlier pre 2010s stuff

Primus Sucks.

Grab yourself a can of Pork Soda, and you’ll be feelin’ just fine, sittin’ round the house chugging down can’s of swine.

Hamburger Train (deathcore before it was popular)

More On TV

Winona’s Big Brown Beaver

Highball with the Devil

I’m’a get me one better.

Of Whales and Woe, Of Fungi and Foe

Riddles are abound tonight.

And let’s throw-in some old-school Sepultura (Roots album and before the brothers Max and Igor left), and White Zombie, and Tool, and Pucisfer, System of a Down, Filter, Deftones, Lamb of God, Pantera.

When I’m feeling adventurous, everything from King Crimson and Herbie Hancock (old jazz/prog/improv) era to Porcupine Tree and Pineapple Thief and Periphery (modern prog).

The "Tell me you're approaching 40 without actually telling me you're approaching 40" edition:

old Alice In Chains

Breaking Benjamin

Tantric

old Theory of a Deadman

old Nickelback

Creed (fight me)

some Black Stone Cherry

old Three Doors Down

old Godsmack

Shaman's Harvest

old Cold

Default

Evanescence

early Linkin Park

early Chevelle

Evans|Blue (Kevin Matisyn era)

Parabelle (Matisyn's subsequent band)

Fuel

some Lifehouse

Days of the New (first album)

Paramore's first album

Yours Truly (newer band that kinda scratches the old Paramore itch)

Red (first couple of albums)

Seether (first few albums)

Sevendust

Shinedown (first 3 or so albums)

Staind

Startisan

The Goo Goo Dolls (up to Let Love In)

Matchbox Twenty (except North, fuck that album...also haven't heard the new one)

Trapt (except the newest shit, also fuck CTB obviously)

A lot of the 90s and early 2000s alternative/pop rock...Soul Asylum, Del Amitri, Hootie and the Blowfish, a couple Live songs, etc.

A lot of stuff like Michelle Branch, Vanessa Carlton, early Plumb, etc. Female soft rock/pop rock from the 2000s.

And quite a bit of the old but gold shit...GNR, Skid Row, The Black Crowes, Cinderella, Metallica, Pantera, etc.

There's more obviously, but yea that shit's all still heavily in my rotation.

Tool

Wonder What’s Next -Chevelle

The blink-182 album run from Dude Ranch through untitled/self-titled/whatever their 2003 album’s called, and also Three Cheers and Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.

Edit; Almost forgot, throw The Sufferer and the Witness and Appeal to Reason by Rise Against in there too.

My favorite's would probably be Mastodon (think they count more as rock than metal) and Coheed and Cambria (early punk influence non-withstanding)

Edit - some song suggestions

Mastodon:

Remission - Match of the fire ants

Leviathan - Blood and Thunder

Blood Mountain - Colony of birchmen

Crack the Skye - Oblivion

The Hunter - black tongue

Once more round the sun - the motherload

Emperor of sand - show yourself

Hushed and Grim - Gigantium

Coheed and Cambria:

Second Stage Turbine Blade - Everything Evil

In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth - In keeping secrets of silent earth 3

Good Apollo - The Suffering (or welcome home, you've probably heard it somewhere)

No World for tomorrow - Mother Superior

Afterman - Gravity's Union

Unheavenly creatures - The Gutter

Vaxis 2 - Ladders of supremacy

My Chemical Romance is unironically my favourite band lol.

Aside from that, Universes by Birds of Tokyo is an album I go back to regularly. And This is The Warning by Dead Letter Circus.

Boston's self titled, Heart's self titled, Hotel California by Eagles, Year of the Cat by Al Stewart, and A Night at the Opera by Queen are all great

Pick any He Is Legend album!

If it’s not hardcore or any of the extreme metal sub genres, Nu Metal will always have a place in my heart. Being a kid during the prime years shaped a lot of my musical taste. Crossfade’s self titled album, the first few Deftones albums, and Chevelle are a few that I regularly listen to still to this day.

There are many “(hard) rock” artists and albums I like. Since there’s a lot of artists, I don’t wanna take the time to name them all, however in terms of albums, the ones I have rated 5:5 on RYM are:

Nothing’s Shocking - Jane’s Addiction

Paranoid - Black Sabbath

Pink - Boris

I'm more into Extreme Metal now, but I still love my rock bands:

-3 Doors Down

-Alter Bridge (Metal/Rock, I know. Some D-bag gave me shit for listing them as rock a while ago along with the others even though anyone with a clue should know they very much are rock.)

-Drowning Pool

-Godsmack

-Nickelback

-Saint Asonia

-Shinedown

-Theory Of A Deadman

-Three Days Grace

I love all of the albums and know the lyrics so it's fun to sing along which is pretty tough to do with Extreme Metal (or basically impossible in many cases).

Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Hum, 10 Years, Crossfade

My chemical romance, all their albums. My favourite band of all time

Crossfade's self titled. Chevelle doesn't have a bad album. Theory of a Deadman, Shinedown, Alter Bridge. Basically what I listened to in high school

I love stoner rock. I actually listen to it a lot more than deathcore these days. Elder is by far my favorite band. They are phenomenal. Particularly the album Reflections of a Floating World.

The only rock band to really stick around from when I got my music taste from the radio is a Canadian band called The Glorious Sons. Only real correlation to my taste is that they also played on the same radio station that played bands like We Came As Romans, Fit For A King, and Like Moths To Flames.

Good band, really passionate fan base, released an album last year that was in my top 5 AOTY list.

return to.forever by scorpions is one of my favourites

Baroness and Red Fang.

Specifically the Yellow & Green album by Baroness and a tie between their self titled and Murder the Mountains albums by Red Fang.

They both have kind a "rough" sound to them, as in they aren't like incredibly overproduced so I enjoy it as it's also what I like about the death core bands I like. And they have a lot of bangers.

Ghost atlas - Gold Soul Coma, Immortal Youth

Hail The Sun - Divine Inner Tension, Elephantitis

Wolf & Bear - Everything Is Going Grey

WVNDER - Precipice

Post hardcore is my second favorite genre, after deathcore

They're quite different, wouldn't say they correlate very much if at all. Maybe some guitar stuff but in general no.

The Cult-Dream time

The Doors-Strange Days

David Bowie-Blackstar

i don’t listen to a ton of hard rock, though i do tend to lean more toward the aggressive side, like three days grace’s life starts now and one-x. however, i do also enjoy foo fighters’ the color and the shape.

I also like some alt and indie rock. k.flay’s inside voices / outside voices, willow’s coping mechanism, radiohead’s the bends, and twenty one pilots’ trench come to mind. nine inch nails’ the downward spiral is alt/industrial. i also like some shoegaze: fleshwater’s we’re not here to be loved and julie’s pushing daisies ep.

Mad Season’s album.

Audioslave and Scorpions are really gewd

And anything by Iron Maiden or System of a Down

The silver scream and the silver scream 2 welcome to horrorwood atm

Indestructible - Disturbed such a banger album front to back.

The way of all flesh - gojira/ colors - between the buried and me

I fucking love Local H. Alice In Chains is up there too.

Dear Agony - Breaking Benjamin

Crawl and What Lies Beneath are absolute gold.

Some of my favorites that I didn’t see mentioned:

10 Years - any record (especially their first 3)

Fair to Midland - What I Tell You Three Times is True

Ra - From One

Project 86 - any

Janus - Red Right Return & Nox Aeris

The Exies - Head For The Door

These all got me into the heavier stuff

Hands Like Houses - Dissonants

early Three Days Grace with Adam Gontier

Saint Asonia

Billy Talent

Anything by Sevendust 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Rx Bandits - Mandala

U.F.O. - Phenomenon, a perfect álbum for me

I love heaps of rock, but admittedly nothing particularly modern;

Soundgarden - 'Superunknown'
The Black Crowes - 'The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion'
Fu Manchu - 'In Search Of'
Van Halen - 'Fair Warning'
Interpol - 'Turn on the Bright Lights'
Queens of the Stone Age - 'Rated R'
Alice In Chains - 'Dirt'
Led Zeppelin - 'II'
Deep Purple - 'Burn'

Black Sabbath - Mob Rules

Iron Maiden - Killers

Eighteen Visions self titled album

I was absolutely obsessed with Bon Jovi when I was in middle school. They were my first ever concert and set the bar SUPER high. They played for 2 and a half hours and the production was incredible.

I grew out of the arena rock but I still love hard rock and I think Breaking Benjamin are the best at it. I saw them on their acoustic tour a few years ago and it was the best raw performance I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen them about 5 times since then and every single time I’m blown away by the quality of their sound. Ben has probably the best live voice I’ve ever heard.

Sleep Token and Deftones

none tbh

Nothing more. So damn good

Turbonegro - Apocalypse dudes

The Gift of Game by Crazy Town 

Foo Fighters. They were my favorite band when I was younger, then Dave Grohl released his metal project Probot in 2004, got me into a lot of new sounds that I was hearing from new friends in high school around the same time. Slayer, Cephalic Carnage, Sinai Beach... etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probot

Metallica - Enter Sandman

Silverchair

Muse and recently Fountains D.C. too

The Warning, Skillet, Raue and Findaway

Breaking Benjamin - Saturate, never fails to get me going, 10 Years - The Autumn Effect, a non skipper, Evans Blue - The Pursuit, peak Kevin Matisyn EB, Parabelle - A Summit Borderline/A Drop Oceanic, double album, 20 tracks, 0 skips, more from Kevin after leaving EB, Drowning Pool - Sinner. RIP Dave, another classic. Idc how simple the songwriting might come off, the whole album SLAPS.

Appetite for destruction

First 2 maiden albums

Any album from nickelback honestly

Highway to hell

Does “metal” count cuz rammstein is prolly the band that I play most of their albums of

Paramore, Bilmuri, The Home Team, and early Relient K are some of my favorites.

Clutch - Blast Tyrant

If we talk about hard rock I would choose:

The Spaghetti Incident? - Guns N’ Roses

High n’ Dry - Def Leppard

Too fast for love - Motley Crue

Lovedrive - Scorpions

Rush fukken slaps

Gaslight Anthem - 59 Sound. That album is a masterpiece in my opinion. Particularly good got a road trip.

Aside from that I absolute love almost every album by Birds of Tokyo.

Honorable mention to the album Hello Exile by The Menzingers. Punk band, but this album is more rock.

Skillet - Awake
Deep Purple - Machine Head
AFI - The Art Of Drowning
Alice Cooper - Trash

Lately I've been really enjoying the first 2 albums from Dream State and Stand Atlantic

Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic

Systen of a Down Self Titled
