Answer 2

Well I can help you out with grunge and rock, let's see..



Three Days Grace- They are obviously one of those newer, more contemporary bands that some people would characterize as "sellouts" but I really don't think so, because they have some really good rock/grunge music that perfectly fits what grunge should sound like. Two good songs from them you can listen to would be Animal I have Become, and Pain. They are one of those bands with that signature style, they sound pretty close to the same in all their songs, but they're also that rare band with the weird musical appeal; their music doesn't just sound good, but it has this crazy appeal and even if you don't think you'll like them you probably will, trust me I guarantee you won't be dissatisfied with them.



Pearl Jam- I'm sure you know about PJ, but if you don't know 'em very well, my favorite songs from them would be Jeremy, Alive, Black, and Daughter, but don't forget about Even Flow or any of those. Pearl Jam can be pretty light, and some people consider them an acquired taste, but really you can't go wrong with them; also just a small tidbit, they were named the "grunge band of the 90s" by some magazine or something like rolling stone; in the 90s they were insanely popular :)



More grunge? How about bands with that sort of grungey/hard rock sound, like velvet revolver, audioslave, shinedown, etc. you can't go wrong trust me.
