This topic is for discussion of rock / alternative rock bands (because alternative rock is too vague a genre to merit its own topic in my opinion). For the record, other genres like progressive rock, pop rock, punk rock, etc. aren't meant to be discussed here; indie rock and hard rock bands are pretty close to rock / alternative rock, though, so you might as well discuss some of them here, too.The main bands within the genres I listen to at the moment are Coldplay, Muse, U2, Switchfoot, OneRepublic, Counting Crows, Linkin Park, The All-American Rejects, and 30 Seconds to Mars (they're kind of rock / alternative rock).I find Radiohead a little overrated -- I think their album OK Computer was good but not great -- but I'll nevertheless try listening to their album Kid A, seeing as I seem to be into well-placed synths and sound effects at the moment. Linkin Park's albums Minutes to Midnight and A Thousand Suns are underrated in my opinion (but I dislike the profanity they've adopted).No hating or flaming, please. Discuss away.
