I come from a long line of mainstream nu-metal. Limp Bizkit, Theory of a Deadman, Linkin Park, etc. I have begun getting bored with it and am trying something new. Yesterday I decided to try out some new artists. And mind you when I say new, I mean new to me.
So far I have tried Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, and John Legend out and am really liking it all so far.
What I am trying to ask is just start naming music in the same vein.

Take a look at Tribal Tech and Steely Dan. Not enough people know these two awesome bands.
Hey, I will take whatever you guys give to me. Be open.

Death Cab For Cutie "We Looked Like Giants"
Placebo "Pure Morning"
I don't listen to much country, but I really love Josh Turner's "Would You Go With Me". It's kind of a sappy love song, but its got some great instrumentation, and his voice is like, really awesomely deep at parts.
In a rap vein, I like Atmosphere.
Girls and Boys - The Subways
Quiet Dog - Mos Def
Forever and Always - Taylor Swift
Bite Hard - Franz Ferdinand
That's a pretty good selection of songs I've been listening to lately, all are pretty new, fairly different from one another, so you're bound to like at least one.
Props to The Crowing One, The Weakerthans are one of Canada's best bands. Can't wait to see them live again in April!
Hell, I'll toss Christine Fellows in there, as well.
Joy - Apollo 100
Black Friday Rule/Tobacco Island/Selfish Man - Flogging Molly
One Last Drink - Enter the Haggis
Keep on Galloping - Korpiklaani
Anything by Seether, Karma and Effect is the best album in existance IMO.
Tried to keep it as diverse as possible.
The statement above is false
Pantera - Walk
Muse - Knights Of Cydonia
Oh, and my band (in sig)
If you like that song you probably will like the rest of their stuff.
Also try:
Nonpoint - The Truth (This band is kind of like a less overt Linkin Park)
In Flames - Cloud Connected
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Anything by FLAW
Tool - Parabola (and, by extension, Parabol)
Our first game is now available for free on Google Play: Frontier: Isle of the Seven Gods
Buckethead - Guitar virtuoso. His styles range from thrash to ballads to experimental bullshit.
Pepper - surfer rock... I like them better than Sublime who they're often compared to
Check out some;
Young Lust
Welcome to the Machine
Wish you Were Here
Comfortably Numb
Brain Damage/Eclipse
Hey You
My favourite album is Obscured by Clouds just cause of the way it flows and its more a hard rock sounds in the tracks with vocals. It is a movie soundtrack after all.
Heart - Barracuda
The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love
The Jam - Town Called Malice
Elvis Costello - Radio Radio
Johhny Cash - Fulsom Prison Blues
Johnny Cash - Cocaine Blues
Kenny Chesney - Dust on the Bottle
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now (actually, anything queen)
Regina Spektor - Samson
The Squeeze - Annie Get Your Gun
Violent Femmes - Kiss off
The Cranberries - Zombie
One better
Buzzards of Green Hill
You may have heard his band, Primus.
Wynona's big brown beaver

Also, I'm a big fan of the group Ellegarden, and they sing a fair amount in English. But, they're kind of punk/rock, so if that's not up your alley, then ignore away.
Edit: Video was wrong, stupid work filter. Corrected now.
In the vein of classics you likely already know a little, there's Simon and Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, Billy Joel, Cream, The Mamas and the Papas, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin... it just feels so weird to be suggesting these.
And a general list of stuff I enjoy: Ben Folds, Spoon, Cake, Modest Mouse, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Streetlight Manifesto, Minus the Bear, Iron and Wine, Guster, Elvis Costello, The Beta Band, Andrew Bird
This is probably entirely too general, but there's a lot out there.

and Jason Mraz
Check out CCR, BTO, David Lee Wilcox, ZZ Top, Crosby Still Nash and Young. Those are all good bands.

I stand by pretty much all these artists and most of their discography's (y or ie?)
Some say Iron Maiden's "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is the apotheosis of heavy metal. It's on The Number of the Beast, easily one of the most important metal albums of all time.
Since you are on PA, you are probably a nerd, in which case you may like Ayreon, specifically their concept album Into the Electric Castle. The awesomest song on it is "Across the Rainbow Bridge."
Everyone likes Led Zeppelin. If you missed getting into them in high school, it's never too late. Their untitled fourth album is the best (you can probably find it cheap at a used record store, since it's not on iTunes).
Also, the Smashing Pumpkins. "Cherub Rock" is, I think, the anthem of my generation.
It's debatable whether or not it's their best album, but it's certainly their poppiest and most accessible.
ok
I am remaining calm
I am not going to be a dick about this
Garth Brooks and Toby Keith are as a terrible mutation of a once beautiful animal. The vast tradition of American folk musics seems to have been now distilled into rednecks complaining, but there is so much more and it is so much better. You like them. If you listen to their artistic ancestors, you'll realize you're being played. I promise you this.
Real fucking hard core country/country western music:
Patsy Cline. She's at the top of the list for a reason.
Merle Travis. There was not really electric guitar in country before this bad mother. He wrote the theme song for "Thank You for Smoking" about sixty years ago.
Pee Wee King
Tennessee Ford
The folk that birthed them:
Pete Seeger & The Weavers
Doc Watson (& his son, Merle)
There's so much more, but it's all unattributed authorship, so... Just pick up a Doc Watson and take your socks off beforehand to avoid any accidents
Bluegrass:
Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys
Earl Scruggs
Lester Flatt
David Grisman (more contemporary, played with Jerry Garcia a lot when Jerry was sober)
Allison Krauss and the Union Station
Benny Martin
Muleskinner (Grisman is in this)
Tony Rice
Oh god I could go on forever in this vein but I'll sum it up by dropping the name of the generally recognized father of bluegrass and my namesake, Bill Monroe. If you check out nothing else on this list, check out Bill Monroe.
Special mentions:
John Hartford. He's the one you should check out second to Bill Monroe. Many different styles, he's really a player of American Musics more than a bluegrass or folk player, but oh my god is he ever a talented writer, singer and musician. Guy plays banjo, fiddle, the clogs, seriously he's amazing.
Early Beck, all the way back to his high school band. Stereopathetic Soul Manure and One Foot in the Grave are both difficult to find but very good albums, if SSM is a little... unapproachable for a lot of people. I suppose I should also mention here that the dry spell he seemed to go into for Sea Change seems to have cleared up. Guero, The Information, and Modern Guilt have all been fantastic.
I guess that's enough from an old Folkie like me.
edit: Also Hartford is dead and I passed up a chance to see him live a few years ago because I figured "hey, there will be other times and I don't have $60 right now," and whenever I think about it I want to kick myself in the groin as hard as possible.
Also I like the track that Brother V is on. TV on the Radio is great.
I also could have chosen the Meters Fire on the Bayou, or The Black Keys' Chulahoma, or Iggy and the Stooges Funhouse.
Yeah but I didnt suggest Sung Tongs or Feels. I suggested Strawberry Jam which has great reviews and was on a billion top 10 lists, and I find Fireworks to be an accessible song so...yeah. There you go.
