Seven Mary Three had a few good songs such as "Water's Edge"
Seven Mary Three - They were good like in 1995.
Collective Soul - Used to be good.
The Afghan Whigs - Pretty good.
At The Drive In - Fucking great. Also try The Mars Volta(Cedric & Omar's - lead singer & guitarist - new band. At The Drive-In are more punk though with MV being more psychadelic and progressive rock)
Taking Back Sunday - Blah.
Yellowcard - Blah.
Muse - Never could really get into them. They have a couple of cool songs. Wasn't a fan of their set at Lolla.
Spoon - Awesome. Their new one, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, is one of the albums of the year. Also recommend Kill The Moonlight and Girls Can Tell.
Keane - Never really listened.
The Killers - Never a fan. Seen them live and they didn't impress me. Apparently their new album sucks though.
Wallflowers - Old school. Are these guys still around. Dylan's son is the lead singer.
Local H - I used to be a big fan, but haven't listened to them in a while. Still good shit. Bound For The Floor is an alt rock radio classic.
Sponge - Never heard.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - I liked their first album, after that they didn't impress me. Not too good live either, the couple of times I've seen them.
ATDI is phenomenal. Their last is probably their most popular, it's Relationship Of Command. Vaya, an EP before that, is also really cool. The albums before that, "In/Casino/Out" "El Gran Orgo" and "Acrobatic Tenement" are a bit more in the punk vain...but are all freaking amazing.
Wallflowers - Another mid-nineties band I didn't keep up with after their big album (Bringing Down the Horse), BUT it's just within the last two years or so that I rediscovered that CD and came to appreciate it more than ever. It's sort of a rootsy pop-rock album. I'm pretty sure I like every song on that album. I intend to catch up on their other albums eventually.
Collective Soul - I was a HUGE fan during middle school/the mid nineties. I have to say that nowadays Ed's voice bugs me, and in my opinion the lyrics are pretty cheesy. I remember the first time I heard "December" - to me (about 13 years old) that was a hard rock song. Let's just say I eventually grew out of that band. However, if you like the radio hits you'll probably like the albums, so why not go for it? They know how to make catchy pop-rock songs.
Spoon - Finally a band I really like right now! They play catchy, quirky songs that make you want to dance. I do have to say they're a bit hit or miss for me, but even the songs I didn't particularly like at first are growing on me. I definitely recommend these guys.
BRMC - I've had their self-titled album for years. I really wanted to like it, but for me the songs started to run together into a muddy mess after the fourth or fifth track. I keep thinking about trying another one of their albums, but I just can't see spending the money when I'm not all that fond of the one I've got.
Thanks...
How about the band "Hot Water Music"
???

I agree, from what I've read on this board you really like them and I can see why. Baby 81 is a great album.
Spoon and At the Drive-In are worth mentioning though.
Especially Spoon. Great band.
It's just lists of different bands I have been hearing aout lately.
I just gave you the best advice of your life. Right up there next to Don't listen to Creed or Nickleback.

"With my own two hands I can change the world."
It is my civic duty to tell you to go and purchase any Local H release you can get your hands on. They rock AND will hang out with you after a gig!
Preferably one of the first 3 albums by either of them.
Look, i'm just saying, if you're looking for something different ... whats up there isn't it.
And judging by your curiousity about bands like ...Ezra and 7M3, i'm guessing you're too young to have heard them in their hayday and be burnt out on them.
So go give REAL bands a listen before you dive in to mid-90s sloppy seconds.
I will say that Afghan Whigs have some merit, but were never my cup of T. a bit TOO rough around the edges.
Black Rebel has some decent material, but i wouldn't say "great", and i've had friends that like Local H, but i also have friends that thought Jane's Addiction sucked, and think X is the worst band ever, so ... :rolleyes:
If I opened it now would you not understand?
I am 28 actually...and thiose are just bands I have heard of and never gotten into....not too young by a longshot....but thanks.
lol.
cool.
i guess i should have picked up on the "never gotten in to" .... well then let me just say, THERE IS A REASON you never got in to them!
If I opened it now would you not understand?
very good way to get into them.
From the OP's list, Collective Soul was the only band I ever really liked. Although I do like a couple of Better Than Ezra and 7 Mary 3 songs.
Start with As Good As Dead........love this album. They are actually from my area. Fritz Corner (a song from the album) is a pub about 5 minutes from my house.

Seven Mary Three- the first wave of second rate pearl jam bands. still have 3 or 4 songs i like but you can live without them.
Collective Soul-bland rock again here nothing special
The Afghan Whigs- Getting better. Gentleman is a very good album. Gregg Dulli does some good stuff.
At The Drive In- You really should give their last album Relationship of command a try. I seriously love the album and it would make my top ten albums that have come out since 2000.
Taking Back Sunday-not good
Yellowcard- not good
Muse- i like them a lot they are worth checking out. good songs on every cd.
Spoon- I like them but i don't love them. they do pop indie rock very well though.
Keane- I have a keane album i listen to two or three songs from it. It really is not that impressive.
The Killers- some okay songs. not really my thing
Wallflowers- never was impressed with them at all.
Local H- i never gave them a fair listen. I like some of what i've heard though.
Sponge- A couple decent tracks nothing to get excited over. Pretty average.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club- Some talent here. I tried to get into them but they are just not my thing. Not a bad band but not a band i dig.
