I need some good rock songs. NO HIP-HOP, RAP, POP, SCREAMO. I'm into alt rock and powerful riffs. Suggestions?

Question

I have nothing against hip-hop, pop, rap (I love Eminem) or Screamo death metal. It's just that I've gotten sick of listening to 16 year old guys with unbroken voices go "Baby, baby, baby" over the radio. That goes for MEANINGLESS hip hop songs too (oh, yes, there are plenty of those).

I just want some straightforward, meaningful rock songs. Something along the lines of Never too Late by 3DG or Somewhere Out There by OLP or Love Hurts by Incubus. I'm a drummer looking to start a band and I need some inspiration.

Songs with good guitar is good too, like Alter Bridge's "Blackbird" or songs by Chevelle.

Make sure not to suggest songs that I've mentioned cuz I already have them. I'm looking for ARTISTS who play similar to the above songs, hopefully with some of their best songs.

Hope I haven't set too many conditions. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
