Good possibilities, Thanks.

Hmmm, I'm hoping you dont mean the 70's pop band.

Other than that, post interesting music choices but be prepared to be ignored

system of a down. Though I'm not a big fan of their new album.

There really hasn't been anything released in 2005 worth listening to imho.

I liked the song "Aerials" very much, but couldnt get into anything else by them. Its not 2005 that has been the problem. Aside from Disturbed, I havent really found any new bands that I like in 15 years. So for the most part I'm acquiring stuff from the 70's (I've been collecting some Iron Maiden lately). I've picked up some new CD's such as 'American Idiot' but they're by bands that have been around for a while now.

Disturbed is okay. I like a song by them called the game.

Found something. "Dimmu Borgir" it's nothing like Disturbed but its definitely very interesting. I'll have to listen to a bit more.

Dimmu Borgir

Children of Bodom is another great band. Growling vocals but very melodic and slightly progressive. A very appealing blend IMHO

What is it you like about them? Without knowing their music, "Mudvayne" seem a odd with the make-up and all(kinda like slipknot).

well, I liked Disturbed and those bands sound a lot like Disturbed. I know Mudvayne is kind of weird with the makeup, but the music is good. I don't watch MTV or anything so I don't care what they look like.

Do you listen to biohazard. I have a vague memory that I was impressed by one of their videos and stylistically they are similar to Disturbed (ie alternative metal with (what I see as) a hispanic influence).

I've got a Biohazard CD... the one with the song "Punishment". They're decent. I wouldn't say they are comparable to Disturbed, however. Biohazard has a more urban flavor to their music. They've also done a lot of work with some rap groups.

I seriously beg to differ.

Judas Priest released one of their best albums ever!

Nile released a barrage of uncompromising death metal in "Annihilation of the Wicked".

Napalm Death showed they still got it with "The code is red..."

The same with Nine Inch Nails "With Teeth". Who the **** needs posers like Marilyn Manson?

Grand Magus and Spiritual Beggars also released very good albums. Maybe something for you Spencer?

And least but not last the pride and joy of the swedish metal scene - Dark Tranquillity - released "Character".

[SpencerH]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I knew there had to be some metal-listeners here.

Dimmu Borgir are a very interesting of metal and 'classical'; almost a throwback in style to the hard rock bands that were popular in the 70's. I avoided listening to them before now, believing them to be thrash metal or something (which I'm not partial to). I have to wonder whether they tour with an orchestra.

Try some of the old guys, like Stryper, Petra. I don't know who this "Disturbed" is, but take Stryper for example; they have both hard rock and more gentler songs.

[SlowwHand]

Ok, ok. I know this isn't the same,but this guy is 13. Started at 11.
Currently on tour with John Mayall.

The guys here introduced me to Opeth and they're coming out with a new CD on the 30th. Excellent music.

You picked up American Idiot? Do you have earlier Green Day?

[Berzerker]

Kansas
Moody Blues
Yes
Supertramp
Triumph
