The Mars Volta is one of the best prog rock bands out there. At The Drive In is good too.

One of my guilty pleasure metal bands is Bullet For My Valentine. Mushroomhead is also great metal.

My favorite "metal" bands are NIN, Tool, and Marilyn Manson though.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

For prog rock, I'm partial to Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Yes.



Where would I fit the Black Keys into those categories because that's my recommendation.

If you want a great post-rock band, check out Tortoise. They are a little bit lower key (in some ways more like a jazz band) but they are phenomenally talented. Their first few albums are complete classics. Many consider them to be the first post-rock band.

Lol, dude, no offense, but some of those bands you listed under hard rock are just plain jokes.  Disturbed is great though (I still need to listen to their new album...) and Linkin Park is passable, although there is a lot of hate surrounding them (some deserved, some not).

Dragonforce is awesome as well as Amon Amarth. Im a big Avenged Sevenfold fan even though they have changed a bit. Also for those that speak German, Rammstein has some good songs.
