What are some good albums by rock/metal bands that I may like? I'm not into screaming or growling in songs, and I like some nice guitar solos. I prefer songs that are melodic and I'm not into high tempo playing e.g. Dragonforce.

I'm not into rock/metal that much but you definately need Avenged Sevenfold, erm Queens of the Stone Age and Wolfmother.

It's that sound they make when they sing. Ah, can't quite explain it :P

Any album recommendations would be great.

Candlemass is soft vocalled metal with decent solos. You should learn to like growling vocals, it really opens up your music world.

a band i've recently come across called "too dark for a picture" has a cool guitar solo from time to time, if you check their myspace and listen to "do not fear the dark" it's pretty impressive. kind of like queen and mars volta or something. and portishead... :D
