Decent new rock acts

they sound like an amalgam of all 70's hard rock, it's like a tribute/parody - even down to prog-rock lyrics about magic and dreams. i can't tell if they're serious - i hope not. but, the singer's voice spends a lot of time doing Ozzy and Jack White, and they've got that Deep Purple ™ organ cranking away in the background.

Well, I'm a middle aged rocker who grew up with acts in the 1970s/80s. My record collection is getting a little stale and I'm looking to update it. Who would you all recommend? My tastes are from the classic rockers like Purple and Led Zep, through acts like Kiss/Cooper, to AC/DC and Van Halen. Who are the wunderkinds who can compete with these pantheons of greatness?

If you don't have Metallica's stuff in your collection, you owe it to yourself to get their CDs.

Well, up to, and perhaps including, the Black album. For the love of all that's holy, don't buy St. Anger. If we're going to segue into metal, then the modern bands to check out are Hammerfall, Edguy, Primar Fear, Trivium ( The Crusade sounds more like Metallica than anything Metallica did post the 80s ), Dream Evil, and so on. Masterplan is on a metal label, but it's more another most excellent modern rock band, albeit nothing like the bands I mentioned, too polished. Russell Allens Atomic Soul, on the other hand, is an excellent slice of seventies style rock.

The latest 2 albums of Samael[^] is pretty good metal if you ask me. I can't stop listening to Eternal[^]. They've progressed and transformed from the first album. Every album has a different sound than the one before. You might not like the first albums, as they are quite trashy.

Geez judging by the responses there is a clear misunderstanding of what classic rock is all about. You might like "The Black Keys". But I gurantee you that you'll find stuff you like but have never heard of by using those bands as your starting point at the Music Genome Project[^]

You really don't know your rock geneology very well do you. Your post is wrong on so many levels I'm just going to pretend I never read it after a small period of time feeling sorry for you. (about a femtosecond) ;)
Because Jack White is not 70s ?

Yeah, there was a slight segue to metal. But, the bands I listed initially are all in a classic rock vein.

Classic Rock magazine is how I find bands, it works pretty well. I'll look at this tho, thanks.

Not that I can see... Edguy, are they any good?

Oops! No I thought he was dissin' Zep and I was all like "Oh no you didn't" and reached for the keyboard to lay a smackdown on him. I've never heard of WolfMother.
Wolfmother is an Aussie band, they started just jamming in a garage, so I guess they ended up sounding like friends who like to jam 70s songs...

I see that Samael have their origins in death metal. Edguy's origins are Iron Maiden, they are an 80's sounding Eurometal band. I think they rock, and they have a good sense of humour as well.

Look into Disturbed's latest album... Ten Thousand Fists. Its not as nasty as the name makes out. Foo Fighters gets fairly rocky Linkin Park (maybe) Some Aussie bands to look up: The Living End Grinspoon Silverchair Its all fairly generic 'Rock', so please dont flame me :)

I always end up falling back on Skyclad (Thrash Folk!) and Queensryche (who should need no introduction)...:-D

Thanks for that, but I've got most of their older stuff - yup I'm old enough to remember them when the weren't famous.:) Where does the time go?

Queensryche are cool. Empire is one of the greatest albums ever, period. Also a big fan of Dream Theater. Thing is, I like so much rock/metal that it's great to get recommendations from others.
