I think my knowledge of music is as vast as my film knowledge. So tell me bands you like, specific genres etc. And I will tell you what are some good bands to listen to:D Though now I think its best if you recommend each other bands because I am a bit too tired right now:P

The bands I enjoy are mostly indie-rock like City and Color, Death Cab for Cutie, Against Me!, Animal Collective, Iron & Wine ect.

what are some in this genre I might enjoy?

For a double-header if you don't mind I also enjoy harder-rock/metal bands like Mastodon, Hurt, Atreyu ect.

what are some others I might enjoy in this genre?

Of course the best place to start is Opeth, In Flames, Obituary, and Meshuggah. I am not as into death metal as other genres, I am more into progressive metal.

I listen to pretty much anything, mostly into progressive music now though. Since you are a prog fan too I would also listen to Black Bonzo, Transatlantic, Neal Morse, The Tangent, Knight Area, and Watch.

Sorry for the late response, but thank you. I've got the bands on a document so I can try listening to them. :)

I have no clue as to what you're talking about. I've heard Evanescence, Linkin Park, and Chevelle referred to as alternative metal and only Chevelle referred to as hard rock.

Damn you guys are really into alot of stuff, I have to really dig deeper into my music collection. For Progressive Rock fans I recommend you all get Moonmadness by Camel, one of the best of the genre right there.

Well, I would like some Punk Rock. It's not my favorite genre, but I don't mind some Punk Rock and I only heard a few bands from the genre and I would like more. I also like Thrash Metal and Progressive Metal. I could hear some more bands from those genres too.
