I'd like to recommend some Three Days Grace. It's what I'm listening to most at the moment, and I think it matches some of the bands in that list (of course, it might not, depending on what you like those bands for).
I'm starting to get tired of my music collection at the moment, so I need some suggestions for bands to listen to.
Crossfade
Evanesce
Fat Freddy's Drop
An indie breakcore artist called Twice Too Many
Doom OST
Monoral
Mundtot
Ergo Proxy OST
PhoenixDK
Radiohead
Shelter Red
Smash Mouth
Soul Asylum
Stellar*
HL2E2 OST
Serial Experiments Lain OST
...yeh, not much.
Let me get one thing straight, I have absolutely no care for generic music. That means Beatles, AC/DC, Metallica, Linkin Park, Green Day, that sort of stuff. I'll listen to any genre of music as long as there's something to the song or band.
The entire soundtrack is amazing. I was actually listening to it last night before falling asleep... kept me up for hours. >.>
OT - I don't think the bands you listed are generic, even though I also have no interest in one or two of them. I think popular or well-known might be better words to describe those bands. But that's likely 'cause I feel the word 'generic' is generally associated with something negative.
nice picks, but i'd say Vicarious is a bad choice for a sample of Tool. imo, that's one of their absolute weakest songs musically. sure, it's pretty brilliant lyrically, but musically it's kinda meh (for Tool, at least).
OT: the closest thing i can think to recommend that hasn't been mentioned already and is sorta in line with some of the stuff you've listed would be the Dresden Dolls or Amanda Palmer ("solo" stuff from lead singer/pianist of Dresden Dolls). in fact, if you like Radiohead, she has an album entirely of ukulele interpretations of Radiohead songs.
there's other stuff i could recommend, too, but some of it is really frakkin' weird. (and if you doubt my definition of "frakkin' weird", consider the fact that i mention ukulele covers of Radiohead casually, as if that's something you'd see every day.)
I've recently gotten into The Mars Volta. It's hard to say they're generic at all.
Also:
- Scale the Summit (I recommend these guys everywhere... they're just that good)
- Protest the Hero (A cool punk-metal mix that's hard to find anywhere else)
- Gorillaz
- Periphery (DJENTDJENTDJENTDJENTDJENT)
- Animals as Leaders (Periphery without vocals... although they're often compared to Scale the Summit because both bands are instrumental, when I don't see them as similar at all. =/)
