You guys should join!

Alice Cooper at his finest. Though I like "Desperado" and "Welcome to My Nightmare" the most.

By Alice Cooper, I mean the Alice Cooper Group, before Alice actually changed his name (I forget his original name) and went solo under the same name. That's really my only gripe with the dude, since it seems like it was a kinda a cheap move.

Incubus is the r0x0rz!!!  I *heart* Incubus

I think that answers THAT question. 

rock is slightly dead but u just have to dig deep into the rock nation to find anything good. All the really popular bands suck except for a select few. Nicleback sucks ass...i think it would be safe 2 say that they r the worst non-poser band out their.

Everclear had two good songs.

They were... "Halloween Americana" and "El Distorto De Melodica".

Rock died a loooooong time ago folks, after a two decade secret exile. By the time Huey Lewis and Madonna and Robert Palmer and Peter Cetera were hailed as "rock" you'd have thunk Elvis would have finally jumped out of the UFO to set them straight, but he didnt, and so while real rock lived out the last of its days partying hard to the end, no one noticed when it dropped dead. Its ghost appeared that time Seattle appeared on the map again, but alas, it was a phantasm reenacting the final moment of rock killing itself.

Unless you can define the common traits there that make them "rock" that really isn't an answer. In fact, there are a lot of people who would argue about prog rock being rock.

Rock isnt dead, however, it is dieing. so? let's save it!! i myself am in a band and i know many others trying to get to the top and succeding. So get out there and spread the word - Rock rocks!

Bands i like :
Nirvana
acdc
Placebo
Trivium
Durban Poison
System of a down
Radiohead
Guns 'n' roses
HIM
Mudvayne
Weird Al yankovich (it isnt rock but he's so awesome!!!)
*coughs* Bright eyes *coughs* (slightly emo)
led zeppelin
KoRn
Velvet revolver
The Used
Sesame street (cookie monster rocks my world!!)

None of those bands you just listed are emo. The only thing that is even remotely close is early The Used. Like 1st album The Used.

Also, HIM is hardly music, much less rock. A generic Disturbed rip-off band that has managed success riding Bam Margara's coat-tails is hardly a band that plays real rock n' roll.

Now, before you get all angry and offended, I need to remind you that this is not an attack at you. Seriously. I'm just an smurf when it comes to music. So with that in mind, discuss on...

I'm from Nashville.

That has absolutely no relevance at all. Except that you should check out the best rock group from Nashville in the past 7 years: The Pink Spiders. Mash together Elvis and The Clash with a dash of Black Flag, and you'll get The Pink Spiders. They really are incredible. IT really cool, because they've been around the Nashville rock scene for almost 8 years, and now they are signed to Geffen. It's really cool.
