Hey everybody...I'd like to listen to some more rock, my favorite rock bands right now are Shinedown(great LIVE if anybody wants to know), Creed, Alterbridge, Silvertide...Bands that have a kick you know?

So I was wondering if there is some bands that I should know of and try their music based on my taste.

EDIT: I'd also like to get into some different genres besides rock, if you could suggest any bands I should check out thatd be great as well.

I'm really digging Satriani's latest live CD... Love the drum tones... Tight, snappy and very ambient.

Something missing without Stu Hamm though.

try some fuel (something like human, Sunburn, etc) for a style similar to some of the bands you listed.

As for other genres, I don't know exactly what you're looking to get into, but I'll suggest a few departures from your normal listening line-up:

The Postal Service (electronic indie rock)
Deathcab for Cutie (emo)
Dimmu Borgir (Gothic/Black metal)
Bauhaus(Oldschool goth)
Cradle of Filth(Gothic Metal)
Pantera (Oldschool Heavy Metal)
Coheed and Cambria (Screamo/ Alt. Rock)
Miles Davis (Jazz)
Aborted (Death Metal)
Flogging Molly (Punkish Alt Rock with an irish flare)
Michael Buble' (Easy Listening)
Mudvayne (Nu metal-ish...maybe more to your taste)

I tried to cover a broad spectrum of musical genres so you can have a bunch of choices. if you're interested in any one genre, let me know, I'll give some more in depth recommendations.

Disclaimer: anything "metal" is subject to have screaming, shouting, and/or cookie monster vocals without notice.

Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien

If you're feeling adventurous:

Opeth: Blackwater Park
Porcupine Tree: In Absentia

[umcloud]

Sleater-Kinney - The Woods
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever To Tell
Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped
Death From Above 1979 - You're A Woman, I'm A Machine
Pretty Girls Make Graves - The New Romance

All great albums (especially The Woods) that I would consider "Rock". Check out pitchforkmedia.com for reviews.

i cant tell you how much i love coheed and cambria. not sure why because most people dont but give them a try. most people that dont like them dont like them because their singers voice is mainly high but he has a great range.

Others include:
Mars Volta
Postal Service
A Perfect Circle
