OK, just because I'm a little bit older than you guys doesn't mean I don't listen to the radio. I gotta tell ya tho-, the ONLY one of those bands you've mentioned that I've even heard of is the Deftones, and I can't think for the life of me what they sound like!
I guess I'm from the old school, when
Judas Priest,
Triumph,
Scorpions,
Rick Derringer,
Blue Oyster Cult (and
NOT "Don't Fear The Reaper" either...), etc., etc., etc., kicked serious *ss!!!
Nowadays, the newest bands that kick *ss and sound good too, are
Metallica and
Queensrych. Never did like Punk Rock. -kd5-
