AC/DC, Guns 'n Roses, Led Zepplin etc... (All the legends).

megadeth

Nirvana, Def Leppard, Slipknot, Sevendust, Mudvayne, Atreyu, Three Days Grace, Pillar, Puddle Of Mudd, Relient K, Bob Marley, Ozzy Osbourne, and Rob Zombie are good.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

Definitely Radiohead, though that has already been mentioned.  Oasis has kinda been forgotten in America aside from Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger.  Definitely Maybe was a great album.

Bullet for my Valentine. They are touring Cancer Bats.

Hurt is my absolute favorite band. They might be the insanely amazing band you're looking for.

If you just want some good garage rock, The Hives are great.

Maybe you just have mediocre taste...or maybe you're one of the many people who have only heard "The Middle" and have judged them solely on that song.

No I've heard plenty of Jimmy Eat World songs, since my brother have some cd's by them. They are just another  mediocre pop/punk band...
... and no, I don't have bad taste. The bands I've mentioned are clearly superior when it comes to talent and songwriting, and if you still think that Jimmy is much better, then I feel sorry for you, and I hope you will develop a sense of taste soon.

People like you are simply pathetic. You can't live with accepting that not everyone has the same taste as you...you feel like your taste is PERFECT and it's better than anyone else's. Thank you Contra_dk, thank you for showing me the error of my ways. If it wasn't for you I never would have known everything that I've been missing. You sir, truly are a saint and a blessing to this forum. Thank you and enjoy bashing my taste again...I won't be here to read it because I'm done with this thread.

I love Jimmy Eat World...you may not, but that doesn't mean you have to be a dick and disrespect my personal taste in music. Everyone has their own taste and no one's taste is superior because it is solely based upon one's opinion...maybe someday you'll learn that.
"

If you're looking for something completely different, try out "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" by Primus.

It's country-inspired funk metal. Something.

I did stoop down to his level at that moment because I was pissed...but after his second reply I had enough...and that initial statement was meant as sarcasm (doesn't come across unless I write /End Sarcasm of course)...I followed that sentence with a statement that is very true for people who don't like Jimmy Eat World...many people do judge them on one song which really isn't fair.
