What bands do you recommend
 

.. if I am a fan of these few?

Incubus
Evanescence
Muse
Linkin Park (maybe.. minus Mike Shinoda :p)

Re: What bands do you recommend
 

The Pixies.

Lacuna Coil (sounds a little like evanesance just with more of a goth and christian sound then nu metal)

the Deftones

From a fellow Muse fan - try Our Lady Peace's early work and Finger Eleven's more recent work. Muse toured with Live for awhile - you might like their older stuff (Throwing Copper is a must). Matthew Good has a different sound but a similar sensibility. Try his solo album Avalanche or his old band's album Beautiful Midnight.

kaper, welcome to Talk and GREAT choices!!!I am I big fan of all the choices you mentioned. I just recently got into Muse. Ill second all of your choices and add:

A Perfect Circle
Coldplay
Billy Talent
Yellowcard
The Used
Chevelle

Thrice
Planes Mistaken for Stars

Not sure if they'd be what you're looking for, but both are very good.

Owsley

woah. not many people know about owsley. i got his first CD for 49 cents at a tower records when i was in callifornia..

if you can find this CD anywhere, pick it up. it's superb! for fans of fountains of wayne, beatles, weezer, etc.

i also have his second album.. that's not so great, but there is a very good cover of wings' 'band on the run' on it..

I'd recommend A Perfect Circle based on those bands you just named.

Unwritten Law

I'd recommend...

Boys Night Out
Nine Inch Nails
Tool
Hoobastank

Faith No More

Any You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead
Thursday
New Model Army

at the drive in
the mars volta

In a word, CURVE ! Amazing band.

A second for And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. Great band.

Also:

Hellacopters
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Slobberbone

A couple of Texas bands that have recently gone nationwide sounds like they would be right up your alley...

Blue October
Vallejo

And a third for ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead.

I didn't know those other bands were skinheads.


But going on the ones mentioned I'd say perhaps Aerogramme.

A lot of people never give these guys a chance. They were so good back in the day! All of their albums are good, but if you just want the basics, pick up their 2 disc "best of" set. Great cover of Lionel Richie "Easy" too. :)

They were also good with their first singer. What ever happened to him (I forget)?
