Foo Fighters I think. Up until 5 years ago all I listened to was classic rock and some alternative (Smashing Pumpkins, etc...). Then I heard the Foo Fighters, and though they were pretty good.
I listened to a bit of anything on the radio. It wasn't until I discovered The Cure, though, that my music interests expanded. And by that....I mean non related genres as well. Of course now, I don't listen to anything on the radio.
What do you mean by modern rock? 1990's, 2000's ? Do you mean modern rock as opposed to what is commonly called classic rock (1970's/80's)?

Modern rock is rock from the 1990's to present. Eh...I include the 80's merely because rock became more divergent. 80's rock is alternative which is different from the so called cIassic rock.

The Cure was formed in 1976. Ah....first album was out late late 79. Playing in school does not a major band make.

The Cure was formed in 1976. The Cure remains relevant to this day though, making it a more than valid choice for modern rock...

The Killers was the first band that I actually liked and pretty much got me into music. Their debut album was the first album I ever bought on my own, and today they are still my favorite band.
Audioslave is good. Have you ever listened to Soundgarden? Love Soundgarden. Superunknown would probably be my desert island CD. Sounds like a good album.

Oh gosh...I guess it all started around 1979-80 with Joy Division and then stuff like Shriekback, Oingo Boingo, Kate Bush, & Cocteau Twins kind of sealed the deal for me.
Um... well The Strokes are modern enough I guess. They released their stuff at the start of the 00's which you could call modern right? So by default they kind of win due to their time of existence.
blink-182 and to a lesser extent Sum 41. I don't think I really listen to any "classic" rock bands though. The oldest band in my library is probably Dinosaur Jr (first around in the mid 80's I think?)
I have been listening to "modern" rock...well...since the late seventies! Then it was The Ramones, U2 and the Sex Pistols! As for the 90's, hmmmm, I was listening to Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Fluid. A whole wack of So-cal punk! Social Distortion for one!(my avatar currently)mmmmmmm, I'd have to go downstairs to my music room, names fail me...The Descendants. (All not all), Ohh oh oh, Rage against the machine!...and many more! Lollapalooza, where have ye gone?

Geez, you and I should talk some...This Mortal Coil, Song to the Siren!

:lol: This coming from the guy who argued that a band can only be identified with the decade in which they started.
