Currently, my Pandora rock station is lackluster, which I think is probably due to the fact that I don't have enough station seeds to improve the algorithm. I need something other than just the hits from the bands I already like.

Bands whose sound I'm looking for:

Tantric
Days of the New

More grunge-oriented:

Soundgarden
Temple of the Dog
Nirvana
Mad Season

hard rock/metal:

Alice In Chains (more metal)
Godsmack

The only new hard rock that's been in the general area is Reignwolf. I'm more looking for newer acts (those formed in the last several years). If anyone wants to throw me recs, I'd appreciate it.
