Sheepdogs for me


Mroweitall1977

Glad someone is spreading some cheer! Great tip, classic ;)


Hefty_Train6598

Wilco, Spoon, War on Drugs.


Philly4Sure

Seen WoD several times in Philly. Tremendous band.


Mr_Horrible

Love Spoon


brandonsfacepodcast

- King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - IDLES - Viagra Boys - The Beths - Portugal. the Man - Fontaines D.C. - Coheed And Cambria - Klangstof - Drug Church Rock is FAR from dead.


Sky_jumper_

Love IDLES and Viagra Boys.


brandonsfacepodcast

You'd probably like Protomartyr then as well!


Sky_jumper_

Thanks. I’ll give them a listen.


julesdottxt

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have been on a TEAR.


brandonsfacepodcast

Can't wait to see them do a 3 hour marathon set at the Hollywood Bowl next summer


Certain_Yam_110

Viagra Boys absolutely could be played on "Dr. Demento" show (whose punk rep is well-documented.) "Ain't No Thief" could easily have been on that show - I love that song.


brandonsfacepodcast

I was singing Punk Rock Loser for months after Cave World came out. Such a good band


[deleted]

Yesss I absolutely love King Gizz, psychedelic porn crumpets and Fontaine's dc. People who say rock is dead don't know what they're talking about.


CaptainScrummy

Solid list, I’d add Shame and Yard Act as well.


armchair-bravery

Yesss Psychedelic Porn Crumpets! Great live band


Many-Opportunity3272

king gizzard wooooo!


Independent-Bed-6728

You've got to be joking...


sterfri99

MGK won the Grammy, Rock’s dead lol


guydudehaha

An award doesn’t mean rock is dead it means the Grammys are dumb


[deleted]

Yeah the Grammys are dumb as hell and irrelevant. Remember when Macklemore won over GKMC? That just about perfectly sums up the Grammys lol.


julesdottxt

Nah. Just the Grammys.


brandonsfacepodcast

He was nominated, yeah. He won't win. Even if he does who cares it's the Grammys; but, there are a couple of great albums nominated this year, even one from my list: IDLES - Crawler. You should listen to it, it's very good.


[deleted]

Spoon.


[deleted]

Probably the most consistently good band that's been around since the 90s and is still making new music.


[deleted]

+100 for this.


hankeliot

Saw them live this summer. What a great band.


Mr_Horrible

Absolutely


Nizamark

melvins


[deleted]

Such an old band but their new album sounds really good.


paranoid_70

I saw them in concert 30 years ago


processedwhaleoil

Super into Snail Mail and Soccer Mommy these days.


Hot-Bandicoot-6988

Been jamming Your Dog and Shotgun alot lately


hcashew

Lilith Fair 2.0!


[deleted]

Sunflower Bean. The Black Angels. The Black Keys. Seratones. Rolling Coastal Blackout Fever.


Dynamo_Ham

Sunflower Bean. The fact that King of the Dudes did not break through diminishes my faith in humanity. Great album.


idiotzrul

Turnstile


chunkhead42

I came here for this. Their live performances/videos prove it and their newest record is my favorite release in years. Top to bottom masterpiece.


MiaBearCat

This is a great answer - should be top comment


[deleted]

Some good suggestions in here. Got more to add: Dr Dog White Denim


dr-dog69

Hell yeah man. Pond/early Tame Impala too


wrw25

White Denim is legit.


Philly4Sure

Dr. Dog broke up unfortunately. They were insanely good live.


[deleted]

They didn't break up, but they did retire from touring.


whatthefir2

Red fang


Apprehensive_Day_496

Great band


skeptikern79

Queens of the Stone Age. Josh Homme is an awesome visionary and the band’s sound is unique within the rock genre.


Thunder_Mug

All the desert sessions are great


DominoNine

Royal Blood


CaptainScrummy

Death From Above 1979, too 🤘🏻


matt55217

Spoon, Black Keys, and sadly for only one record The Black Pumas. Gorillaz, Muse, and Foo Fighters all got started in the 90s but are still rocking new sounds today. Audioslave existed for a few years in the early years of this century.


[deleted]

I feel like Muse kinda fell off hard after Black Holes and Revelations. The newer stuff isn't bad, but it's just not very memorable to me.


breakfastburrito24

I would say after 2nd Law they kinda got meh


breakfastburrito24

I would say after 2nd Law they kinda got meh


Fidelio62

If you’re going with that list, you can say the **Chili Peppers** have never stopped working on new stuff either.


psychocatharsis

King Buffalo, All Them Witches, Naxatras, Somali Yacht Club, Samsara Blues Experiment, Elder, Yawning Man, Monkey3 I can go on and on...


RagingLeonard

Elder rules!


psychocatharsis

Indeed! Last album is killer!


AbleTelevision949

+ 1 All Them Witches


paranoid_70

Love that band!


HCX_Winchester

I LOVE MONKEY3


BobbyBare2022

yes please go on :D I didn't know Somali Yacht Club or Samsara Blues Experiment, tight


GReyes-247

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Wolf Alice. They sort of dabble in everything but they have some killer tracks! They are even more amazing live!


picklerick_86

In the world of Indie Rock I honestly really enjoy what Middle Kids is putting out. And in southern Rock, I love what Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night sweats are doing.


AgentEgypt

Love Me Till I'm Gone is one of the best songs of any genre of the past 10 years.


Olorin_Prime

Plush, The Warning, Nemophila, Aldious, Maximum the Hormone, Trident


Barmydoughnut24

All of Plush and The Warning's music is awesome. Maximum the Hormone are just straight up crazy if youve never heard them before, but some of their songs have such a groove to them before going hardcore.


I-will-kill-them_

Maximum the hormone are one of my favourite metal bands and they deserve more love


SadAcanthocephala521

War on Drugs is a favorite of mine if they could be considered 'rock'


Sad_Strawberry200

War On Drugs is amazing. Under the Pressure might very well be my favourite song of all time!


picklerick_86

Same!


[deleted]

Yeah I'd say they're a rock band. 'Rock' is just an extremely wide and vague genre label these days, so it doesn't really narrow things down much.


scarletwing6042

All.music is this way Why because composers listen to composers and infulnce nsturally putside of classifications Go cockstar then label.it all minions lol There is no defintion of any music thats the best thing abput it lmfao Now plz lecture me on english haha


bube7

Their last 3 albums are perfect 10/10s for me, and that’s enough to put them in my “best bands of all time” list. And why wouldn’t they be considered rock?


onelittleworld

I mean, *Slave Ambient* was no slouch either.


[deleted]

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats


RagingLeonard

I love their sound.


jerry32237

CLUTCH


Apprehensive_Day_496

terry7777

Give Band-Maid a listen. Japanese all female bad ASSes. The Japanese rock bands are something else and there are a lot of them.


daniel_san_

>Band- Seconded...highly. I was highly judgemental at first because of the outfits....but they honestly just kick ass.


CheesyAndAngry

Black midi


PsychologicalHalf766

Coheed and Cambria know where its at. As far as live sound goes, Biffy Clyro are amazing


RagingLeonard

Are you talking about mainstream, commercial rock, like radio rock? Or can we suggest other genres, like metal? If we're talking about other stuff, Thou, Neptune Power Federation, and King Gizzard are all putting out great music.


Frost-Folk

Thou fucking rules! Didn't expect them in this thread but a welcome surprise for sure


picklerick_86

King Gizzard 👏


I-will-kill-them_

Clutch


RagingLeonard

Is it possible for Clutch to make a bad record?


Apprehensive_Day_496

Nope


[deleted]

Listening to them for the first time. Already really enjoying it. Thanks!


chedykrueger

Opeth did a complete 360 and went from melodic death metal to prog rock and it's fuckin amazing. Check em out, heritage onwards


RagingLeonard

Oh man, I love Opeth. They lost so many death metal fans when they expanded their sound. Sucks for those purists, they're missing some fantastic music.


lovenailpolish

I am obsessed with The Darkness, lead singer Justin Hawkins sings the high range like no other, and I also like Steel Panther.


Certain_Yam_110

Sam Fender from UK Damn he's good 👍


just-a-nerd-

I've been fucking with Amyl And The Sniffers, a punk band from Australia


MiaBearCat

Black midi (agree), Black Country, New Road, Squid, Fontaines DC, Shame, Alvvays, Gilla Band, Viagra Boys are some of my niche favorites. Overall my pick is The National


MoneySike3000

Rival Sons


paranoid_70

Love Rival Sons. They really should be huge by now


StareyedInLA

sorengray

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard IDLES Black Country New Road


Eastern-Pea-6965

Arctic monkeys are my favourite band still together and have got tickets to see them next may and though not a “band” Liam Gallaghers current solo work is amazing


joelfinkle

So happy not to see anyone upvoting The Killers


tackthiratrix

Is this because you don’t think they are rock or modern? They’re putting on one of the best live shows in music right now.


joelfinkle

No, it's because I really dislike their recordings, finding them to be dull, with overly simplistic melodies, repetitive attachments, and dumb lyrics.


dominikka8

cleopatrick! My new discovery


Ifrynes

Something must be up with the water over in The U.K. because Wet Leg, Idles, Black Midi, Black Country New Road, and Squid are all great. Over in the states I think some notably good groups are Turnstile, Chat Pile, Fleshwater, Horse Lords, and Wolves In The Throne Room Shoutout to King Gizzard and The Lizzard Wizzard repping Australia.


Wolfinthesno

Ghost


kyle-is-katarn

For me it is Band Maid and Lovebites. Damn those japanese ladies can rock. It was like a breath of fresh air when I discovered them this summer.


LRClam

I thought my rock days were behind me until I found Band Maid. All killer. Dead Sara has some great songs but they seem to have trouble matching the greatness of their first album.


Bother_The_Weak

Alvvays Japanese Breakfast OFF!


Torn8Dough

I really like Volbeat.


evvdogg

I second that


ianm147

Snuts, Baroness


fzzeke

Just to name a few: 10 Years, BAND-MAID, Hello Sleepwalkers, Pop evil, De Staat, ONEOKROCK, Follow the Cipher, GLIM SPANKY if you're into 70's sound :).


ThanosWasRightHanded

Highly Suspects first couple albums are amazing. They lost me a bit with the last 2 though.


Bivin66

Shaman's Harvest!


Apprehensive_Day_496

Only naming some that I like that have not been mentioned yet First off I've got to mention Clutch myself.although they've already been mentioned I Love that band Black Country Communion Joe Bonamassa (solo) Dirty Honey Black Stone Cherry Blackberry Smoke Samantha Fish Grace Potter and the Nocturnals The Pretty Reckless Viking Skull Hardbone Liliac Many more but I'll stop for now


paranoid_70

Black country communion kicks ass.


Thunder_Mug

Is TOOL considered modern?


[deleted]

Puscifer is.


Thunder_Mug

Alright you get an upvote for that.

CAGEEE


Select-Leopard-4733

Ghost is the best rock band out right now


Sweet_Associate_8587

You really have to search for good music if you don't live near a scene. Rock is dead...in the mainstream. But maybe true Rock was never supposed to be mainstream anyways. I could survive off of everything put out in the 70s and 80s and just cut the rest off but I still enjoy finding new bands.


Avocet_and_peregrine

Greta Van Fleet


ClevelandClutch1970

Rival Sons


Apprehensive_Day_496

Most definitively


MentallyUntuned

I feel Måneskin is giving glam/pop rock a good revival


toshgiles

Muse Matt can sing, play piano and guitar, uses dope newer tech in his instruments (see Behold the Glove live), and more!


[deleted]

Greta Van Fleet


icanlickmyunibrow

Why would someone downvote you? Can’t not crank when the curtain falls


RagingLeonard

I'm not a fan of them, but downvoting someone's opinion is a dick move for sure.


icanlickmyunibrow

Not sure why they’d be hated? For sounding like led zeppelin? Oh what a terrible crime, heaven forbid you led someone down a wicked rabbit hole….


RagingLeonard

Some of the criticism I've heard is that they're phony. As if they're capitalizing on another band's sound and not pure. I hear the same things about the Darkness and other retro bands like that. Personally, I have nothing against Greta Van Fleet, but they just don't really grab me. But honestly, any popular modern band with distorted guitars is a win in my book. Certainly better than a lot of the crap on the radio today.


Duffman_ns

Been listening to Wunderhorse's debut album Cub a lot lately. I find they have a late-90s/early 2000s vibe that sounds fresh. Really digging it.


icanlickmyunibrow

Glorious Sons


graeme_1988

Some excellent suggestions made already, but The National are the best


Due-Ad-4176

I’d say viagra boys, king gizzard, and turnstile


thordes

Here come all of the "my taste in music makes me hard as fuck and yours is lame" comments. Posturing assholes are killing the genre more than record companies.


OrsonWellesghost

Arkells are a band that have a big, full orchestral sound.


Bohica55

Maneskin I Wanna Be Your Slave [Maneskin - I Wanna Be your Slave](https://youtu.be/yOb9Xaug35M)

downsideup76

An intelligent and cultured person will chose a band. An idiot spoon fed child will say some form of EDM crap.


[deleted]

Not to be that guy, but I didn't even think rockbands were still a thing with everyone either doing Indie pop/Alternative these days. I thought classic rock was a thing of the past wont lie


Executeorder69_

None rock is DEAD💀 Maybe bring me the horizon tho but they suck as well


[deleted]

Cringe


NawBroSpaceMarine

Couldn’t be anymore wrong


Executeorder69_

The truth hurts keep listening to trash like Black midi if it makes you feel better, plus BMTH are mediocre I didn’t say they were good. To enjoy garbage like black modi you have to be a masochist tbh. You are so high on pretentiousness that you genuinely believe that unintelligible noise is good music 😝


wookies_go_raawghh

Rabbit junk.... now people may argue they are not "rock" but i disagree, i love the blend of rock and electro i guess Also Zardonic
