need some rock music suggestions

[robertjuric]

Decided I need more Rock in my life. I don't get enough of it. I listen to to much rap . But I dont know any good(or any at all) bands.

I wanna find some stuff not to heavy but not Dave Matthews(eeww). I got some NiN on my comp now, really like them. Any suggestions?

Hmmmm.... depends on what you are into... but... here are a couple to try..

Billy Talent - "Try Honesty"
P.O.D. - "Will You" .. and "Boom"
The Dautsons - MFer From Hell (The real name violates the rules)
Smile Empty Soul - "Bottom of a Bottle"
Deftones - Hexagram
White Stripes - "Seven Nation Army" and "Hardest Button to button"
AFI ... well pretty much anything Afi is good

amen brotha. and how can you compare static x to nine inch nails? imo, they are light years apart. trent reznor actually had talent. and my in flames recommendation still stands. go to borders and buy reroute to remain. its got enough melody to be accesible, and youll be blown away by the guitars. proceed to buy all other in flames albums. they are the goodness.

I'm just saying that if he likes NIN he might like Static X, same kinda electro-metal...
