I'm looking to expand my music collection, but I don't really know how to go about finding out about other artists/bands I don't already listen to. So, I figure the easiest way to do this would be to post my collection, and await some recommendations from those with similar taste.

So, if you know of any bands that sound like any of the following, feel free to list them. It's appreciated.

Alexisonfire
A Perfect Circle
Counting Crows
Cradle of Filth
Dark Tranquility
Disturbed
Ill Nino
In Flames
Jewel
Korn

Nine Inch Nails
Our Lady Peace
Rush

Big fan of these, I just can't figure out why I don't have any of their work. I must have lost my Opeth and IE collection.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Listen to "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" and get back to me.

You can add Jane's Addiction to the list. "Nothing's Shocking" would be the right album to start with.

I also have the 100 Greatest Rock Songs of the 90s. These are the tracks I like off of it:

Hmm, that reads like an auto-playlist my Media Library would generate. Interesting...

I despise Jane's Addiction.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

LOL. That's weird because I seem to like 95% of the music you like.

I think we figured out what the other 5% consists of.

More Live in my opinion:
You like All Over You? Why not try that whole album?

Nothingface
Dry Kill Logic
Sevendust

Children of Bodom
Strapping Young Lad

Post hardcore (but much better than Alexisonfire!):
