Any definition of rock is fine. Any era is fine.

I am a bit of a softy, so my favorites are more garage / blues / indie:

  • The Strokes ❤️
  • The Black Keys ❤️
  • The Arctic Monkeys ❤️
  • Kasabian ❤️
  • Black Box Revelation
  • Pixies
  • FIDLAR
  • Cage the Elephant
  • Radiohead! Proceed with caution, not all of their albums are rock music.

    I’m one of the weirdos buying into the hype of black midi, BCNR and Squid as well. Give them a shot. black midi is probably the most experimental of the bunch.

    There’s also Interpol, Arcade Fire, The National: the usual suspects. Dismemberment Plan, The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree. Some more recent indie rock: Pinegrove, Hop Along, Indigo de Souza.

    Your mileage may vary, of course, but they’re some of my favorites.
