I have a very lax summer job and is able to listen to music during work (don't tell my boss shhh!). Therefore, I would like to know more Rock artists/songs that you think deserve more attention, so I can sneak them while working :3 I promise to listen to them all but I don't know that I will be able to reply to every single comment though. I let other SG fellas do that job for me I guess.

On the side note, what do you think about Greta Van Fleet? Imho I think they are great! Young and talented, I hope they will make masterpieces one day and change their bad name as Led's cover band. If you haven't checked them out yet, clicky here!

The gib is Mini Metro for lvl1+, add the "/" at the end to get access (lazy way to prevent bot :P).

SG metal heads please calm down lol

Note: Although I'm more of a heavy rock, metal guy myself, I'm looking for more ZZ Top, 38 Special kind of Rock I guess :P My fault for not clarifying. Anyway, I do have a blast listening through everything though, keep 'em coming please c:

Their website names their genre as Caveman Battle Doom. Whoever wrote their Wikipedia page defined them as Stoner rock/Sludge metal. Encyclopaedia Metallum lists them as a Stoner/Doom Metal band and Rate Your Music names their genre as a combination of Doom and Sludge Metal. In the end, does it really matter? To quote Billy Joel: "It's still Rock and Roll to me." :)

I really thought Led released another song when it was played on the radio. And it was damn amazing! I thought they took a new direction, something more modern rock. But it was Greta Van Fleet, instant fan!

Ayreon/Star One - you can find a shitton of quality music simply by checking all the people Arjen Lucassen has worked with on Ayreon...

Symphony X - The Odyssey - one of the best songs ever written (and pretty long, but what do you expect with such a name :D), great story (duh :D), fantastic musicianship and vocals, great lyrics etc. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaN3pwBsRf8

Symphony X - Paradise Lost - very beautiful more mellow song, and I honestly dont know who wouldnt like this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyvOJlX4ZkE

Star One - Earth That Was (about Firefly) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8QH4Xe5G3s

I could rant on...

Maybe throw down some bands you love and I'll see if I know something similar to it, or totally different that you might like, it doesnt have to be metal/rock at all. :D

I definitely have to second this, as this is just what i was gonna tell this dude. Almost anything Lucassen does is gold.

Ayreon - My House On Mars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBKUU0Mneb8

I once listened to that whole album early in the morning while sleepily (is that even a word? :D) going to university, it was kinda surreal in a way.

Druids turn to stone live version - Damian Wilson crushed it

That album is very atmospheric and definitely one of my favorites, but prolly not "his best stuff".

Really short "song" from Theory of Everything which highlights the awesomeness of Tommy Karevik

Day Two: Isolation - one of my favorites from The Human Equation

Really, most of his stuff is awesome, apart from Actual Fantasy (which has a few good songs) and the first album because the vocalists arent constantly the same person for the same character throughout the album - although I like it anyway.

Awesome, glad I was able to suggest something you like. :)

Another of my favorite musicians is Devin Townsend - that guy is along with Arjen A. Lucassen someone I would refer to as a musical genius. The sheer difference of music that guy makes is amazing.

One of my favorite songs, it has a sort of hypnotic quality:
Devin Townsend Project - Deadhead - amazing live version, also amazing vocals, but Devin is always awesome so nothing new there .D

Devin Townsend Project - Heart - example of beautiful mellow stuff he makes

Gojira - Flying Whales - the best representation of pure energy in music I've heard yet. (apart from Devin's crazy powerful vocals...) Their live performances in particular are amazing. Hard but still having great melody and groove.

Symphony X kinda has 2 different sounds. The old more neoclassical sound and the newer a bit more mainstream metal sound. You'd prolly like some aspect of their sound if you dug into them (I'm not sure exactly what you dont like so I cant be more specific :))

P.S. Lol at that avatar. :D

I did listen to Devin Townsend before and was not impressed, however, I really really like Gojira though. Never knew that he is the vocalist for the band. Great stuff!

Gojira is awesome, but Devin isnt the vocalist for Gojira - he did do a terrific song with them though Gojira - Of Blood And Salt (feat. Devin Townsend & Fredrik Thordendal (Meshuggah)

Kingdom

As I mentioned Devin has really different stuff, so I dont know what you heard that you didnt like, and why you didnt like it. All I can say is checkout these few songs I mentioned. That will prolly give you a feel for most of the stuff. I posted something a bit more atmospheric with deadhead, mellow with heart, and kinda heavy with Kingdom, but he also has some awesome poppy type stuff like DTP - A New Reign...

He was also in Strapping Young Lad which has intense stuff like this (although this is fairly tame for that band) Strapping Young Lad - Love?

I saw your edit and googled those bands, and I think I may have something that might fit: Rock Like A Dude from the Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 soundtrack.

And of course I can't bring that up without mentioning its partner in crime, Flat Head Four, or as I like to call it, Rock Like A Man.

Funnily enough, I saw this in the comments of the Flat Head Four video:

-Is there a similar song to this?
-Yeah, any song by ZZ Top.
