In no order

-Raconteurs
-Nirvana
-Pearl Jam
-Silverchair
-Smashing Pumpkins
-The White Stripes
-Red Hot Chili Peppers

-Stone Temple Pilots
-O.A.R.

I general I like a lot of 90s alternative and grunge... What are some other must-listen bands that I am missing from my list... I will tell you if I already know them... I'm looking more for newer stuff (in the last 10-15 years).

my fav album is "phantom power" but the fan consensus seems to lean to "fully completely." you really can't go wrong with either i'd say.

song-wise:
poets
grace too
courage

definitely agree with that. carry the zero is one amazing song. and the version of 'stop the show' from the live album is pretty sweet.

Blind Melon (the real, not this new, imitation crap)
Sparta

Well if you're an Alter Bridge fan, I take it you are familiar with Myles Kennedy's previous band Mayfield Four? If not, their album Second Skin will slay you.

You should also check out Our Lady Peace, wicked Canadian band. Their early stuff was pretty 'grungey' like a cross between Smashing Pumpkins and STP, check it out: http://media.putfile.com/Our-Lady-Peace---Starseed
