[Mini Metro 1] Suggest me Rock bands, songs that you think deserve way more attention

I've recently gone back to Sabaton, I didn't like them many years ago but my daughter recommended them to me again so I had another listen. Their new stuff is amazing, history in rock music and if you invest time in researching what they are singing about and check their lyrics you can actually learn a few things. Definitely now a quality band and probably the only band where I can now say I don't actually have a favourite song but have a selection of around 25 different ones I listen to and love them all.

Here's a couple of examples:
Swedish Pagans
Winged Hussars
The Last Stand

Por favor, Mägo de Oz

Zemfira, 3 first albums especially. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iGpdkgr57g

Classic Rock/Hard rock: Royal Blood;
Pop rock/Brit rock: Nothing but thieves.
I think that Royal Blood are getting what they deserve (they are more or less famous in Europe), but I saw Nothing but thieves live and they definitively deserve so much more! Anyway both bands will shine in the near future in my opinion.

These are fairly well know, but I like them:
In This Moment
Lacuna Coil

These are lesser known bands that more people should know about:
Summery Mind
Nemesea

Remo Drive - More of a punk band that has some pop elements, but they have some pretty good stuff.
PUP - A punk band that has insane live concerts and they're quite high energy on most tracks.
Real Friends - Another pop/punk band that recently released an album. It's a great album to get into the band because it's the easiest listen.
Islander - Each album they make is almost an entirely different style and they have a wide variety of tracks on each album.
Descendents - A punk band that sounds the exact same after 30+ years of making music.

Not necessarily my favorites and not really Rock & Roll bands, but they're definitely a few bands that are underrated and not very popular.

My favorite is The Birthday Massacre, and I love most of their stuff. Their latest album, Under Your Spell, was kind of a dud for me, but Violet and Superstition are some of my favorite albums of all time. I also really like Talking Heads and Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I feel like most people know them.

How bout some Batmetal, Batmetal Returns or Batmetal Forever (yeah I know they're not the rockband, but still their vids are worth watching)

No really an unknown band, (actually not even rock, they are a metal band) but did you listen to Manowar? Blind guardian is really cool too.

I really like melodic metal, not the one where they scream that makes me uncomfortable :D

EDIT: Just remembered another one, can't believe i forgot it. Its called Gloryhammer, its a Scottish band whose songs are like its telling a story about a fictional universe where everything is named by Scottish cities/regions/mountains...

If this song doesn't make you laugh you are dead inside

Steel Panther , IAMDYNAMiTE , Pentakill

Awesome giveaway. Will soon put in my entry. Meanwhile you should listen to Kvelertak. They have a good crowd put deserve more people. Been to 8 concerts myself.
Easy starters are Blodtørst, Månelyst and Evig Vandrar.

If you like Greta, try Kaleo ;)

I've recently discovered Jaded Heart, Phantom 5, Ammunition and Kryptonite.
Also, if you like older stuff, you should try Bonfire (albums: Point Blank, Fireworks) or Heart (albums: Bad Animals, Brigade, Heart, Desire Walks On). There are lots of great artists that I could mention, but I think that they're recognizable enough
<cough> Bon Jovi <cough> Slash <cough>

Bonus from Finland
Bonus 2 from Finland

Not exactly ZZ Top but I heavily recommend:
Katastro: Their genre is hard to nail down but I'd classify them as Alternative/Indie with Ska-Rock elements. Whereas Last.fm says in their biography, "Emerging from diverse musical backgrounds, the members of Katastro gather to create a unique sound, blending hip hop, blues, jazz, and rock." In an exclusive interview with thepier.org Andrew, the drummer, mentioned, [Pepper front-man Kaleo] grabbed me, picked me up and kissed me on the forehead about seven times and said, “Dude, we are going to record your album and sign you to our label and you’re going to come to Redondo Beach and record it at our studio.” My favorite part of the story is that they made their whole first album in two weeks, to help out Kaleo from Pepper recorded some vocals of their songs to appear on the album but decided he didn't like them and scrapped them in favor of Andy's vocals.

Songs I recommend to start with: Waste the Night, A Junkie and a Gentleman, Basement Floor (Acoustic)

They are down to earth dudes making music that isn't your everyday radio jam, the interview can be found here: http://www.thepier.org/interview-katastro/

Thanks for the gib
I think someone here on SG posted this group : Contrust
Found them awesome - I think I should introduce it further to someone else ;)

Dont know if what I listen really falls into your line of interest, but here are some groups I`ve been listening to lately -
Fozzy
Maybe this and that from Holywood Undead
I love bands with female leads - Halestorm .. Dororthy .. Probably Pretty Reckless .. a bit to heavy side : In This Moment , also , and I love this one
Maybe even Ghosts, they have unique vibe

I dont think I need to post much about more well known groups, but just in case at least some names that comes to mind - Disturbed, Stone Sour, Fife Finger Death Punch, Avenged Sevenfold, System of a Down...

More or less rock not metal but maybe something catches your ear

Also - Greta Van Fleet sounds pretty interesting. Hadnt heard of them previously..Thanks for introducing them :) Also - this kind of uplifting rocknroll reminds me of Royal Republic. You could check them out, too, if you dont know them

ted nugent

it's a amazing really infinite world of great juicy heavy music which able bring you a lot of euphoria !!!! \m/

Starset has been my favorite band for years now.

I love ZZ Top and .38 Special.
Jim Steinman is my absolute favorite songwriter-singer-musician-guy ever.
He wrote all of Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell, which became one of the best selling albums of all time.

Steinman is known for his huge, dramatic, tragic, over-the-top grandiose music. He wrote two songs for the movie Streets Of Fire:
Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young and Nowhere Fast

Benny Goodman ain't exactly rock, but a classic nonetheless.

Mountain is as classic rock as it gets.

Hurriganes might also be up your alley.

Shotgun, Cool World, Mrs. Loud, Drift Away,
