I like Vampire Weekend, Depeche Mode, Death Cab for Cutie, Coheed and Cambria, Blue Oyster Cult..
Basically a mix of pop/rock. Some '80s and '90s shit...
Anyway, suggest a band! I'm getting an iPod soon and need to fill it up.
Thanks!

Look for some "swamp blues" or " death punk"
-
i can only suggest punk rock, ska punk, hardcore punk, gypsy punk, skate punk, and surf punk
70's- 00's

You like classic rock? How about Led Zeppelin? What about glam rock? You know, Van Halen, maybe Meatloaf?
Howzabout Queen? Keane? Jack's Mannequin?
Weezer seems like a great choice for you, since they're basically a precursor to Vampire Weekend's rocktonic sound...plus, they just straight up rock.
Oh, if you like DCFC, you'll like the Postal Service since, you know, they're basically the same band. Also, Explosions in the Sky is a REALLY cool instrumental band, so if you like super mellow, chilled out instrumental rock, I'd check them out. They're great when you gotta do work, and just need to veg.
Pedro the Lion
Snow Patrol
Jimmy Eat World
The Bravery
The Fray
Modest Mouse
Deep Purple
Of course, none of these are original suggestions. I just went to www.Pandora.com (http://pandora.com/), an excellent website that uses the Music Genome Project to identify similarly sounding bands to the ones you like, and plays 'em for free. It's a win-win situations: All these artists get to be heard for a small sum, and you get great, free music! Check it out! Or, if you prefer not to, I'll just keep posting new band suggestions as they come up.

Heheheh, thank you sir! However, as I mentioned, a number of those suggestions, namely the Bravery, the Fray, Deep Purple, and Snow Patrol to a lesser extent, are unfamiliar to me, and were introduced by the previously advocated website. To that list, I would like to add:
Interpol
Franz Ferdinand
The Shins
Clap Your Hands*
Petshop Boys*
Smashing Pumpkins
Siouxsie and the Banshees*
Soft Cell*
Arctic Monkeys*
Note: Bands marked with an asterisk (*) are bands I am mostly or wholly unfamiliar with, and have instead been introduced to me by the Music Genome Project, via the medium of www.Pandora.com

I won't suggest music since Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir could never be considered "a mix of tonic/rock"

Howd you type P-O-P without setting off the "Tonic" filter

Dear Pandora Visitor,
We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.
Fuck.

I hear many things as the things that you hear. If you want things a little bit dark, you can hear Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen. If you are more synth oriented, Yazoo, Erasure, Kraftwerk, Soft Cell, Cabaret Voltaire, Ultravox are very good bands, but in fact the are very p o p.
I recommend www.musicplasma.com
Just put your favorite artist and you'll have a few recommendations.

lol Admin powers.
Thanks for all the music guys, I'm checking it out!
-
Well... Depends...
Guns N' Roses, Foo Fighters, Jet, The Black Crows, OK Go, Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, The Strokes, etc...
-
The Killers. The Killers. THE KILLERS. I can't stress it enough, but they kick Panic! and The Bravery's ass. You've probably heard them on the radio. They've got three albums out, though one is just a compilation of some stuff that didn't make the other albums, with a few new singles mixed in.
Honestly though, they're really great. I listen to their CDs all the way through, and I usually never do that with a band. I think they're going to be the new Beatles, honestly. They're just that good to me.
For 90's stuff I'd check out Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox 20, they were the kings of that era.
Foreigner just fucking Rocks, Kansas rocks harder, and Styx is a classic staple as well.
David Bowie was the 80's king, so you should check out him as well.
My personal favorite, who were way ahead of their time, Electric Light Orchestra.
Nirvana is pretty good for 90's as well, but they're SO overplayed that you get tired of them quick.

Bad Religion, Dead Kennedys, The Adicts, the Misfits, Agent Orange, NOFX, The Descendants, the Germs, The Adolescents, Operation Ivy, Gogol Bordello
thats a few of my favorites
-
Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Three Days Grace, Disturbed, Rise Against, Red, OneRepublic and some Creed, is all i listen to, and im good with all that. check that out, idunno if any of that's been suggested
-

-
Oh man. Matchbox 20 is like RHCP. I can't listen to them without getting angry. o_o I don't know why either.
