  I'm really into Finger Eleven and Buckcherry right now.  I love the song Paralyzed by Finger Eleven...its even my ringtone.  Yes, I am a big dork. 

  You can use your Itunes card to download TV shows, movies and audio books too....just an idea...I have been doing a lot of audio books lately and listening to them in the car...that is when Finger Eleven isn't playing!  lol....

• lalalalalala said on Jan 27, 2008....

  Seether, Three Days Grace, 30 Seconds to Mars (i think thats a band name!), Angels and Airwaves, Blue October, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gorillaz, All American Rejects.....i may be able to come up with more later!

• evil_twin said on Jan 27, 2008....

  minnie--I do like that song Paralyzed! That's a good one. I'm putting that one on my list...I'm not familiar with Buckcherry's music, but I've heard of them. I'll have to check them out too. I thought about download movies and shows, but I already watch everything I like too :-P
  
  lala--Blue October is one of my most favorite bands. I was actually looking for one of their more obscure albums, Argue with a Tree, and iTunes didn't have it. I was bummed out. I like most of those bands you mentioned too, but a few I hadn't heard of. I'll have to check them all out. Are there any specific songs by these artists that you like the most?
  

• lalalalalala said on Jan 27, 2008....

  with Seether, i like "Fake It," and "Truth"
  with Three Days Grace= "Never Too Late," and "Animal I've Become"
  I'll keep hunting down song titles for ya on the rest!
  

• minniemouse said on Jan 27, 2008....

  Ooohhh...I love Three Days Grace...Never too late and Pain...love those!

  Buckcherry kinda reminds me of a more modern version of 80's hair bands, but only because a lot of their lyrics are...well...naughty!  For instance "Crazy Bitch"...I really like that song, but I have to be careful I don't have my children in the car!!!!  If you listen to it and hear the lyrics, you'll understand why! 

  Puddle of Mud has some new stuff out that I have been meaning to check out too...

• lalalalalala said on Jan 27, 2008....

  Red Hot Chili Peppers= "Dani California" and "Tell Me Baby"
  U2= "Beautiful Day", "Where the Streets Have No Name"  "With or Without You" "still Haven't Found"
  Gorillaz= "Feel Good Inc"
  

• lalalalalala said on Jan 27, 2008....

  All American Rejects = "Move Along" "Dirt Little Secret" basically the whole Move Along album is fairly good
  
  i thought of another. you may already have some of, Nirvana! All Nirvan is good in my book!
  

• hinana said on Jan 27, 2008....

  hmm..Im really bad with figuring out what type of music songs are, but Boys Like Girls is good (a band), situations- escape the fate, mixtape- butch walker , stop and stare- one republic, motion city soundtrack isnt really rock, but there musics good(a band), mika is good, but a really diff type of music, the artist in teh ambulance- thrice, Paramore is really good...and thats all i can really think of right now

• tbs230 said on Jan 27, 2008....

  oohhh, let's see
  
  Anberlin is really good. Their whole second album was amazing, the third is good too, more mature, you know?
  
  AFI- Miss Murder...I really liked that one...
  
  Elisa - Dancing...It was on So You Think You Can Dance...amazing singer!
  
  Gorillaz are good too...particularly their album Demon Days
  
  Head Automatica, very good as well
  
  Hellogoodbye - Here, awesome song
  
  Psapp - Hi...I really enjoyed this song
  
  The Shys - Call in The Calvary...Classic and a tv song if I'm not mistaken
  
  Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars and Open Your Eyes
  
  And that's all I got off the top of my head for alternative...I'll have to do some research for other genres (hahaha)...hopefully you can find all of these on iTunes...you know, if you wanted to or whatever...I'll be back!
  

• queenparanoia said on Jan 28, 2008....

  well everybody has suggested a ton of great songs and albums... most of rock and alternative songs i like are filipino artists... so sorry... =) but here's some that i like and it's in english...
   
   
  
  
   
   
   
  
  
  
  well i hope you like these songs... =)

• silverwhisper said on Jan 28, 2008....

  kyle, it might be helpful if you listed a few artist that you particularly like, and why--that might make it easier for the rest of us to recommend something you might actually like.
  
  that you like music w/ strong lyrics is hardly surprising. :>
  
  lala mentioned u2, but she mentioned their more recent stuff and while i like it too, i'm also a fan of their older stuff: i'd start w/ their album war.
  
  for clever lyrics, i'm a fan of BNL: some very funny and clever lyrics in their stuff, IMHO.

• Mamie said on Jan 28, 2008....

  how about some Gwen Stefani?

• JadeLondon said on Jan 28, 2008....

  Have you heard of That1Guy?

  I wrote a post, The Moon Is Disgusting, which contains a link to his site. It flipped me out to hear him mentioned at a party over the weekend, considering I had just posted about him.

• NoJunkInTrunk said on Jan 28, 2008....

  i'm with tbs230 on most of those. i have to ask - is that a taking back sunday reference? lyrically, i think you would have a hard time beating anything by taking back sunday, so if you haven't bought those, (which you likely have) they are a must! i'm on a hip-hop kick now myself, so if you are open to that check out this one, Dynamic, Jockin Me.

   If you can deal with harder stuff a band called Stiletto Formal just came out of Phoenix and toured with Jimmy Eat World. They are sooo talented.
  good luck spending your money! and, anytime you need advice on spending your money i will find you something to buy! lol.
  

• evil_twin said on Jan 28, 2008....

  I don't have enough time right now to comment to everyone individually, but I wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions! I'm going to try and check out all these artists and songs. Some of them I already love, but there is a lot here I'm not familiar with! So this will be fun.
  
  And just to answer Ed's question, some of my favorite artists are: Blue October, Bright Eyes, Muse, Bruce Springsteen, Sarah McLachlan, Linkin Park, Poe, Metallica, Staind, and Nickelback. Just to name a few. My tastes are varied, but all these artists have awesome lyrics that mean something to me.
  
  I will be back, and definitely checking out your suggestions :-) Thanks everyone!

• uniquely-ironic said on Jan 28, 2008....

  My favorite most recent download was Boom Boom Ba by Metisse.  There were a couple of other songs on the album that were good.  They're alternative music.

• dailyachesandpains said on Jan 28, 2008....

  Awe...E_T!  I went to a show Friday night and the opener was Fred Shafer.  The lyrics in all his songs will move you, I promise!  I love his song Breakaway.  It's not Kelly Clarkson's, it's his own, lol. My Husband said that he thought he had the raspy voice like Bruce Springsteen. 
   
  Fred Shafer:  Letting You Go, Breakaway, Silent Symphony
   
  Living Syndication: 13 Minutes
   
  The Fly's (I know, old skool): Got You Where I Want You
   
  Filter:  Take a Picture
   
  Landon Pigg:  Coffee Shop 
  (The song in  the DeBeer's Diamond Commercial)
   
  Puddle of Mudd:  Blurry
   
  I haven't listened to the actual radio in a while so I'm always late on what's current.  I like to find artists that I've never heard of.  I often visit Bilboard online and look around there. 
   
  I'll be looking back at this post for input too!  I love music!

• the_infernal_optimist said on Jan 28, 2008....

  Hmm...check out Celtic Woman (seriously! "The Sky And The Dawn And The Sun" is one of my all-time favorite songs because it's so darned uplifting/euphoric). Also, if you're not already into Five For Fighting, that's another good direction.
  
  You already listed a lot of my favorite non-country artists, and I'm currently without my 4+ gigs of music, which will remain locked into my non-functioning old hard drive forever, it seems, so I'm not sure what else I'd recommend right offhand. From one music junkie to another, I hope you find some good new ground to cover!

  Lori Carson has some really good songs on the album "Everything I Touch Runs Wild"

  And if you really want to go off the deep end check out Paul Gilbert's
  "King Of Clubs" or
  "Gilbert Hotel"
  
  
  Good luck on your quest,

  dear daily aches and pains,
  thank you for reminding me of that fly's song. i Lovelove that song. 

• wombat said on Jan 28, 2008....

  I'm still stuck in the 70's mucic, but I enjoyed looking at some of the artists I have been missing by reading through this post.  My son was the one who always kept me up with the times--sticking earphones on my head and saying, "Mom, listen to this song!"  I remember he was the one who got me into Guns "N Roses.

• Zaraida said on Jan 28, 2008....

  I keep buying CD's also although I've never downloaded a darn thing.  I'm really into Camel right now.  They are considered "Progressive Rock" and their music is really different from what you hear nowadays.  (I can't stand Britney and her type of music).  Anyway, some of the Camel CD's you might want to give a listen to are:
   
  "Nude"
  "Music Inspired by the Snow Goose"
  "A Wink and a Nod"
  Moonmadness"
   
  There are many others and I have bought just about all of them.  I keep listening to them over and over again and just can't seem to get enough of them.  Love, love, love Camel!

• Yaboyndot said on Jan 28, 2008....

  STAY by Sugarland. I just recently discovered the album and I love it

• Taste-The-Red-Hands said on Jan 28, 2008....

  I've been realy into No More Parachute, there an unkown group. But just released their CD, it is also on Itunes.

  http://www.myspace.com/nomoreparachute

  check them out if you want !

• Mr_Box said on Jan 28, 2008....

  I'm pretty sure you probably have everything I like. We like the same sort of stuff for the most part.

  My tastes are all over the place. It depends on my mood. But I really like Grant Lee Buffalo. His lyrics are pretty awesome. I especially like Happiness and Mona Lisa.

  If you don't have those, give them a listen. You'll like it.

• evil_twin said on Jan 28, 2008....

  I've been reading all of these great suggestions and making a list. There is a lot of good stuff here that I'd never heard of! Thanks everyone. I'm sure I can find some good music to download now. I appreciate all the help!

• evil_twin said on Jan 29, 2008....

  zayda--I do like their music. Hmm...I'll have to check out the new album. Thanks!
  
  alls--I like Chris Daughtry actually. He has some really good songs. Thank you for reminding me that I liked him! There are a few songs of his that I will put on my list for sure. Kelly Clarkson is pretty good too. I do like her some of her stuff, but I don't know that song. I'll have to look it up. I remember you loved Carrie Underwood too. But that's not quite my style :-P
  

• allswell said on Jan 29, 2008....

  lol...i'm glad i can help! I knew you wouldn't like carry, but i just threw that one in because she's one of the idols...let me know if you like kelly's new song...some times it just helps get  me through the day. Songs really seem to help me!
