IceCreamMan: When I say crappy bands, I refer to: All American Rejects, Nickleback, AFI, Linkin Park, Green Day, 3 Doors Down.
(Basically everything mainstream)

Sorry... but you guys are such snobs. You think you're so much better than someone else just because you like a certain type of music. I mean, why do you care so much what other people like? It appeals to them. Why does it matter? I think EVERYONE definitely agrees that bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd have much more talent musically than modern bands, but it doesn't make YOU any better.
You guys act like you own the world just because you only like one type of music. Well guess what. There are other people with other interests. So what if someone likes "mainsteam" or "punk"? Does that affect you in anyway?
So stop sticking your nose up just because you've been listening to AC/DC and Guns'n'Roses longer than others have listened to rock. Stop parading around like you own music. Like there's only one type of good music that has ever existed on the face of this earth. It's fine not to like certain bands, certain genres of music, but you guys are being plain jerks.

I'm going to exalt you when I can again. So true. So so true.
You said like one of those people who doesn't like mainstream music just because it's not so "cool" to do so. Oh no! Other people like it! Newsflash, mate, your bands are pretty mainstream ... Bands like The Who and such are pretty universal ... they're played everywhere. You're not cooler than anyone else. If anything, you're a little bit ordinary.

Yeah, thats probably because you live in England. Here, if you ask 100 people about the Who, maybe 2 or 3 will know who they are. Everything mainstream in SD are bands like HIM or Nickleback or Fall Out Boy. No one appreciates good music here.

Point taken. Although everyone's heard of those bands here, people still like Fall Out Boy (me too) with them or without them. It doesn't really matter. Anyway, most people grow out of mainstream music eventually; I think it's pretty much a phase everyone goes through until you can find music yourself. Mainstream music is the easiest to find.
But yeah, I guess, in England it be more widely-known. Certainly everyone I've met has heard of The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd ...

There are so many people around here who have no idea what Led Zeppelin is, even though they were one of the most influential and popular rock bands ever. And then there are the people who think that Led Zeppelin is a single person. LMAO. And I think The Who are even less well known... Jack - I know what you mean about all of those old bands being mainstream, but they were mainstream a long time ago. They aren't anymore. Now most people don't know about them. Although your point is still well taken. I don't avoid mainstream music (afterall, it isn't a genre even), but most of it I don't really like much. Its not bad, its just not as good as what I already listen to in my opion (which is progressive rock, classic rock, jazz, blues, classical, some videogame music, etc.).

I'm mostly into the heavier stuff (although it should be noted, not just heavy stuff).
I will never be able to pick my favourite bands (simply cost it changes), so I'll just give five bands off my current playlist (in no particular order):
- Slipknot, - Marilyn Manson, - Seether, - Bullet for my Valentine, - System of a Down.
