I can’t believe that no one has listed Wolfmother - Joker & the Thief from 2006. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySjXFjLTagQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySjXFjLTagQ) ---

> [@Daddypants](#): > > Velvet Revolver’s [Slither](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKz2U4fvA4U) is on just about every playlist I make. I am totally swamped at work, but trying to monitor this thread. This is a great choice - love that riff. Also like suggestion of **Wolfmother** , but would put their song Woman as the choice - Zep meets Deep Purple: https://www.youtube.com/embed/xzqTz_i1NXQ?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque ---

Man, there seems to be a LOT of potential choices among the various genres and subgenres out there. It’s tough to pick just one. Here are a few that popped into my head: Foo Fighters - [Rope](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbpqZT_56Ns) Opeth - Lots to choose from, but I’ll go with a recent song, [Cusp of Eternity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGthg4GaLt4) A relatively new band which I think has been making some great rock, Nico Vega - [Beast](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7OYLVznNvQ) Melora Creager - [Sky is Falling](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o_AnVUQQP4) (OK, just kidding about that last one being “rocking” per se, but I think it’s fun!) ---

> [@Penfeather](#): > > Baroness, [Take My Bones Away.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V0N1x675FQ) That did indeed rock. A bit of a QOTSA sound. They have albums on Spotify. 😃 Lots of QOTSA to choose from but I’ll put up [My God is the Sun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFca32_7YUU) ---

I quite like the way this thread turned today. There’s a bunch of Mastodon and Baroness on Amazon Prime that I’m pretty sure is going to be the soundtrack to work tomorrow. I also can’t believe that I forgot how awesome that first Wolfmother CD was. Keep them coming! ---

Released in '00. Which is why I went “The day that never comes” ('08) instead. ---

Yeah that rocks, but the first song I had in mind was [Long Road To Ruin"](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=308KpFZ4cT8&app=desktop). It’s one of the few songs mentioned in this thread with mainstream success (along with the White Stripes and QOTSA), so I once heard an announcer (they’re not DJs, and they _never_ comment on songs the software splurted out) on my local lame ass format radio station exclaiming in awe after “playing it”: “Was’n Brett!” Now that’s kinda hard to translate verbatim, but he basically meant: “Wow, that shit rocked!” And if a rock song generates that such a heartfelt reaction on one of those lifeless clowny stations, it must mean something. (Sorry for the little rant). ---

There’s plenty of amazing rock still being made. For instance, Kylesa with two drummers makes songs like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMnTQE68Xts) and [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrAEgOVk6R0). Then there’s shit like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe12JgbTnIc) and [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MhRj_48-7w) by Lightning Bolt. Not to mention there’s all sorts of indie bands doing crazy shit like [Fiasco](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4jBzpbsi0o) (garagey math punk), [The Sword](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr2m1VzTAI8) (lovely Black Sabbath riffs), and then there’s this [epic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZYignZ2HfE) Springsteen impersonation from Titus Andronicus.
