For Kex:

 

Modest Mouse (Specifically their more recent work, ie We Were Dead Before the Ship Sank and Good News For People Who Love Bad News)

Pain of Salvation (Prog Metal on par with Tool)

The Wombats (Alternative rock)

Eagles of Death Metal (specifically Death By Sexy)

The Dress Whites (Alternative rock)

Dream Theater (Prog)

For Primus:

 

Wolfmother (throw back sound)

The Sword (throw back sound, more towards Black Sabbath but still)

Clumsy Lovers (Acoustic kinda rockish, kinda like Lynyrd Skynyrd)

Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade (simply because of your name)

Coheed & Cambria (Kinda like a poppier Disturbed)

Black Sabbath

Alice Cooper

Dire Straits

Blue Öyster Cult

Queens of the Stone Age

 

In general you sound like you'd be better off looking at a list of Classic Rock artists

 

For Dorek:

 

Coheed & Cambria

British Sea Power

Pain of Salvation

Scars on Broadway/Serj Tankian (it's worth a shot if you like SoaD, especially if you like their most recent stuff more)

Psychostick

Puddle of Mudd

Protest the Hero

Queens of the Stone Age

Say Anything

 

For the most part off the top of my head, most genres may not match exactly but still should be relatively close to something you like.

Faith No More is win <3

 

I do like Serj's solo stuff, and Scars on Broadway isn't bad either, but I haven't heard of a few of those bands, so I'll have to look some of em up. Thanks ^^

Which ones haven't you heard of?

Coheed & Cambria

British Sea Power

Pain of Salvation

Coheed & Cambria's the only one that surprises me.

 

But albums you should check:

 

Coheed & Cambria- Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness

Coheed & Cambria- Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow

Pain of Salvation- Scarsick

Pain of Salvation- 12:5

British Sea Power- Do You Like Rock Music?

British Sea Power- Open Season

Protest the Hero- Kezia

 

This are just the ones that got me into the bands and generally what I base my opinion on them about.

Modest Mouse (Specifically their more recent work, ie We Were Dead Before the Ship Sank and Good News For People Who Love Bad News) I've listened to them before; they're alright when I'm in the mood.

Pain of Salvation (Prog Metal on par with Tool) Never heard of them.

The Wombats (Alternative rock) Never heard of them.

Eagles of Death Metal (specifically Death By Sexy) They were on some commercial, but otherwise, never heard of them.

The Dress Whites (Alternative rock) Never heard of them.

Dream Theater (Prog) A lot of people into Tool seem to really like them, but I dunno, I just can't get into it.

Dr. Dog (Punk) Never heard of them.

Cursive (Alternative) Good band; I already have a few of their albums.

Catch 22/Streetlight Manifesto (Ska) They're alright. Streetlight had a concert down here sometime last year and I missed it.

British Sea Power (Alternative Rock) Never heard of them.

Say Anything Never heard of them.

 

Anything I've "never heard of" I will definitely look up.

I have to say I honestly think you'll like Pain of Salvation and The Wombats the most. Also, for Dream Theater have you listened to their most recent?

Brian Wilson I think a friend has one of his albums, will give it a listen.

The Beach Boys (specifically Pet Sounds) I'm pretty sure my mother has a bunch of their stuff...

Cream Already have everything except for "Goodbye", which I'm having a hard time tracking down. ><

The Yardbirds (Page or Clapton era, can't go wrong here) Been meaning to get some of the Yardbirds stuff.

Syd Barret Already got a bit of him.

Roger Waters Never heard of him, but out of curiosity, any relation to Muddy Waters?

David Gilmour He had/has a solo career?

Rusty Cooley Heard of him, but never heard his stuff.

Andy McKee Heard of him, but never heard his stuff.

Steve Reich Heard of him, but never heard his stuff.

 

Now then, to look up the ones I haven't heard in a similar fashion to Kex.

Waters is the guy who lead Floyd between Barret and Gilmour

 

For Beach Boys listen to Pet Sounds first, tis their best. And Brian Wilson? Go for SMiLE
