Music recommendations?

[BigD226]

I've decided some new music for the Ipod is way overdue...I don't keep up with popular music at all (usually 90% of it sucks especially with all the hip-hop crap out right now), and I haven't even kept up with some of my favorite bands for the last 3 or 4 years or so.

A list of some old favorites...Pearl Jam (90's), Alice in Chains, Soundgarden/Chris Cornell, Nirvana, Metallica (pre-"Load"), Godsmack, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, and Tool.

Any recommendations for some new bands I may not have heard yet, or new albums from some of these bands (those that are still around)? Oh, and please don't suggest the Killers or Green Day...they both suck.

Audioslave if you don't know about them.

The Black Keys are kick ass blues rock.

I am sure you know this but you listed Soundgarden and Rage and Audioslave is the combination of the two. Cornell with the remaining member of Rage.

Nice list.

Damien Rice is great, and it is true Jason Mraz live is like a different singer.
