just wondering but do good lyrics mean alot to you? cause that may help when nameing bands for you to try out.

I'm more into the actual sound, particularly things that are upbeat. Good lyrics help though.

Ahh! good to know cause most of the msuic i listen to has more of a depressing/emotional/deepness to the lyircs. You said your a classic rock fan, umm Zeppelin Fan? cause a lot of Zeppelin's lyrics are about sad depressing love stuff.. I'm just trying to find bands more like them just newer cause those threee bands i said before have a bit of a rock sound yes.. but i'm not sure if you'd find them interesting or not.

lol okay I'll detract what I said because now I realize probably more than half of what I listen to is deep/emotional/dark. I like stuff thats really emotional (without the whiney annoying voice that punk rock singers have). Songs I like by Zeppelin are stairway to heaven (who doesn't like that song?) D'yer Ma'ker (really cool reggae sound) black dog, Kashmir (really creepy suspenseful beat) Dazed and Confused, etc

So with those songs by Zeppelin that you've said.. you pretty much like Metal/Rock N' Roll, and Blues-rock bands ?

i'm really trying to get the details before i find you crap.. hopefully if i can know the right answers i can find something worth listening to for you.

You should listen to folk. Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger and Woody Gunthrie are my recomendations.

or what about the
shines and or
death cab for cutie
i'll even go as far to say
bright eyes
those bands are good..(even tho i don't like bright eyes)

Listen to some krautrock

Faust , Can , Neu maybe Kraftwerk if you`re feeling adventurous.

Also you might want to check out some Big Star , Pink Faires , Funkadelic as well

I only read your first post and a few above me so I give you bands that have already been suggested sorry. You'd probaly like Rocky Votolato, Okkervil River, White Stripes, Wilco, and Sufjan Stevens. Also, do you like Rush?

Swimmingintheundertow - Not really a fan of folk, especially Bob Dylan :-/

Explosion - I don't like Death Cab and Bright Eyes but New Slang by The Shins is really good.. If you know of any other good songs by them to suggest, I'd much appreciate it.

Urban- I don't believe I've ever heard of those bands and I can't seem to find them on Limewire.

Crowquill - I like the White Stripes and Raconteurs, Rush is good, Rocky Votolato is too boring and monotone for me though :-/ I'll check out the other bands you suggested though

Thanks everyone for your help
