If you want to listen to rock music at its best,listen to bands like; "The White Stripes," "The Dead Weather" "The Peach kings" "Teddy bears" "Alt-J" "Gardens & villa" "Motopony" "The Black keys" "The Heavy" "Crazy town" "Heartless bastards" & "Alabama shakes."That's enough for now.

90% of all tracks in Hybrid Theory, Reanimation & Meteora are the best

Giving In, [The Way You Like It, Planets, Cold and Jaded

Foo Fighter
Pretenders only, the test na noise.

Three Days Grace
Home, Animal I've Become, Pain, Never Too Late, I Hate Every Thing About You

Breaking Benjamin
So Cold is the only track of theirs I like.

A Perfect Circle
Outsider (Apocalypse Remix), Weak and Powerless

Avenged Sevenfold
After life, Brompton Cocktail, Almost Easy, Nightmare, Seize The Day, Scream, Unbound The Wild Ride, A Little Piece of Heaven and Gunslinger.

CrossFade
So Cold, Colors

Rammstein
Ich Will

Cavalera Conspiracy
Killing Inside

Lacuna Coil
Secret, Heaven's A Lie, Swamped

Within Temptation
*can't remember for now*

Evanescence
Most of 'Fallen' and some of 'The Open Doors' album

Waiting For Superman.

Lol. @ghostofsparta, every1 at home knows I have weird taste in music. And thanks for the compliment, ayam blushing.

I forgot to mention queen. Is maroon 5 a rock band?

IfeomaVanessa: I forgot to mention queen. Is maroon 5 a rock band?

Yeah, maroon 5 is one of the best bands out there although adam levine is the visible lead singer and Queen is also a awesome band

@A L L

Do you think Nigerians would appreciate a genre of heavy rock instrumentals blend with rhythmic local-type percussions laced on top with senaible lyrics.

@Vanessa
Have you heard Vanessa Carlton?

I doubt rock is a genre most nigerians appreciate talkless of heavy metal rock, doubt it'll be commercially viable

Rock is just like baseball, it's not a Nigerian thing.
Yeah, I know Vanessa Carlton

I don't really think so. I think it depends on how it is packaged and showing originality. Do you know there are heavy rock bands in Saudi Arabia? Besides, would you agree that majority of music listeners in Nigeria don't know there are mainly three types of Rock music;

Soft rock The likes of Daughtery, Greenday, Coldplay etc whose songs are always mild and sonorous. Too feminine un-manly for my taste.

Hard rock Like most of the tracks from artiste/bands I listed^ who rarely compose soft, melodious strings except for Linkin Park who now do that a lot now.

Heavy/Thrash/Death metal Una know them na. Dem de tok sense o, but d noise 3 much. Mastodon, Childeren of Bodom. Cradle of Filth, Korn etc . This sub-genre of rock is what an average Nigeria thinks of, when the word 'rock music' is mentioned. I've asked females before severally, do you listen to rock music? And it mostly: "ehn! God forbid, I don't listen to all those devilish music, me I like Celine Dion and westlife". Though, that was back then, I wouldn't know about now since I've stopped bothering to ask.

One day I'm going to write a piece about Nigerians mis-reaction to rock music as a chapter within the topic: A Critical Look of the Nigerian Entertainment Industry.


BTW

I like this soft rock track by Kasabian or so, the track is: Processed Beat. You all should check it out, very cool and sweeeeeeet.

IfeomaVanessa: Rock is just like baseball, it's not a Nigerian thing.
Yeah, I know Vanessa Carlton

I'm dead sure your favourite must be A Thousand Mile, abi?
What about Kelly Clarkson? My sis made me appreciate her Breakaway track, as I did them Linkin Park's 'Faint'.

Cmon,linkin park stirs one up with their powerful lyrics,superb guitar riffs and all plus their distinct rap rock style unlike the very awkward noise that korn makes, 'freak on a leash' is prolly the only korn song I could bear to listen too

if you want real rap-rock listen to cypress hill - ''bones cd'' from ''skull and bones'' double album. They aren't even a rap-rock band, just a rap group that happened to release a double lp album(skull and bones) with disc one containing rap songs and disc two containing rap-rock songs, they named disc 1 skull and disc 2 bones, the best disc of the two is disc two(bones). Another band you might want to check out is, and this one is a rap-metal band that puts every rap-metal band to shame, Rage Against The Machine(RATM). check out RATM's Evil Empire album specifically. You might also want to listen to Korn's ''Follow the leader'' album, classic album, standout track is ''cameltosis''. All that will make you realize linkin park is child's play!

That is not a sub-genre of rock. It's a genre of music and it's called Heavy Metal. Thrash Metal and Death Metal are not synonyms of Heavy Metal as i see you describe it as Heavy/Thrash/Death Metal Thrash and Death Metal are sub-genres to the genre of music called Heavy Metal. Other sub-genres of Heavy Metal include :
Groove Metal
Doom Metal
Power Metal
Black Metal
Unblack Metal
Symphonic Metal

Hmmm, will check out RATM then,you really are quite the avid rock fan

@emk4lif
What is your favorite rock, metal album of all time?

mine is ''Katatonia - Dead End Kings''

RSAMAN: @emk4lif
What is your favorite rock, metal album of all time?

Mine is Linkin Park's Meteora
, 'Numb','Faint', 'Somewhere I belong' and 'breaking the habit' are my favorites from that album
Then prolly Evanescence 'fallen' album

RSAMAN: mine is ''Katatonia - Dead End Kings''

Katatonia is a tad bit too dark for my liking...I don't fancy the 'doom metal' sub genre

^Ye kpari-kpa
! Na wetin?

Omo guy, you craze gan o for this metal sheets.....I swear. How can one tell the difference between these ^ sub genres? Are they measured in terms of how ghoulish and noisy? Which one be Viking metal? What about Pirate metal? WTF is the difference between black and dark metal? And where in hell did they get technical death metal? Christian metal ko, Muslliim metal ni. Abegi metal na metal jo, meaning senseless noises generated by repeated banging of kpangolos with iron rod. #AbokiMetalBuyers. Lol!.

Joke aside, I stand corrected. However for a long time I was confused as to which is which. I even bought some rock magz back then, which still got me more confused since they mostly advertise, gisted, review and interview more metal heads than the sort of hard rock bands I like listening to. Up till now I still find it quite hard to relate to metal music in general.

BTW, Cypress Hill, to me lack luster, infact their wacky counterpart Limp Bizkit are a tad better by style and delivery than them, though over punkish. I mean, after buying their bones and skull album, I felt stupid to have been swooned by the glossy artwork of their cover, na growsy tracks full the 2 CDs, original album for that matter. D tin pain me dat time I no fit break am.

Ehem! Back to the Head Bangers, So ma guy, yarn me how una take dey feel those noise and growling for metals? Aside from few of their beautiful application as soundtracks to action movie scenes, car racing games, wrestling jingles and wrestler's intro into the ring, how does one or how do you feel metal music? I bought Metallica DVD, which I still do have, very clean, d tin never scratch cos I no dey hear am. I have tried and tried. E no be like Linky and 3daysGrace or A7X or Adema etc. And also, I know some of these 'mentalo' deliver sensible messages just like my hard rock bands, but how do they expect listener to hear when their instrumentals is so chaotically noisy such that it blots out their lyrics? And come to think of it, don't you think they ought to be Chaos Metal? If not, maybe we should start it.

oh boy I think there are many peepz who like rock in nigeria it's just that most peepz play it in their homes,cars or phone(more like privately)...it's not somethin u play on d streets and children would dance to it thats why u feel it's not popular in Naija btw my favourite rocks band are:
Daughtry(the guy is cool),the script,3 doors down,breaking benjamin.
