I actually like Queens of the Stone Age, wouldn't be near my top five bands, but their good.
I don't rate the White Stripes at all.
never listened to wolfmother before, but I checked out a couple of their songs on your recommendation just now, and I like what I've heard so far, I have to admit.
Yeah, my original statement might have been a bit unfair I'm thinkin now. My tastes do lean towards 60s/70s more often than not, but there are a few modern bands I like. Still, I should have thought about it a bit more, and sorry if I offended anyone.

this thread is waaaaaaaay out of line.
first: stop the goddamn flamewars. this isn't goddamn firebot. i dont care if he started it or if you can insult him for being a dicksucker, you just don't do that crap on renaissance. secondly;
with that said, this is this thread's final warning and from now on any shitty posts will be swiftly dealt with infractions. this has gone long enough.
I'm a horrible moderator but at least i dont suck dicks like hazerider

are you guys serious? look at that. these are examples of posts we don't around here either. they have NOTHING to do with the topic. you think this guy looks cool? Great! hit him up on pm. dont fucking post about it. is your avatar out of date? that's a real fucking shame but don't post about it on a topic about BANDS.

I doubt you will even see this post, but you can find a lot better than Gamma Ray. Not that they are not nice (for instance, they are heavily interrelated with Helloween of course), but there is a lot more daring and I guess "important" power/progressive metal out there like Ayreon.

Not gonna lie. My Chemical Romance and New Found Glory are both pretty damn catchy. I can't stand Simple Plan though. They're so fake.

hi
tl;dr but start out with images/scenes and then awake and if you wanna continue, go with six degrees then octavarium/tot/foi based on your tastes as i described the albums above.
mister Bran, Images and Words is their second studio album and the first one with LaBrie. It is almost hands down their best album, with rivals being Awake and Scenes from a Memory. Now, if you could get every album, I would, because each one has a really unique sound to it, and thats why many people have diverse favorites. Train of Thought is really thrashy and heavy, Six Degrees is pretty soft and reminds me a bit of Images and Words at times. Octavarium is sort of overrated but its still a great album. A bit darker , but not heavier, than the other albums. FoI, i don't have so i can't comment but its not bad from what I've heard. new album coming out Black Clouds and Silver Linings. Systematic Chaos has been voted their worst album, but again its not bad. In the Presence "suite" is great, i personally like The Ministry of Lost Souls.

A Change of Seasons is also worth checking out solely for the amazing title track. Falling into Infinity is IMO their worst album, but that's not saying much since all Dream Theater albums are generally written well and consistent.
I've also given a listen to Black Clouds and Silver Linings and I enjoyed it, it's no Images & Words but it is pretty decent. Not the best album to get when you're just starting to listen to the band though.
I heart MCR too, they just aren't top band material in mah book.
