These generic sounding band acronyms might be nice. I at least recognize AFI.
However, would you like true, honest good music? I can help there. Rock if rock is your flavor of preference and can't find anything that suits your taste buds from today's era, look back in time, maybe to the 90's, a decade not far gone.
Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind (self-titled debut)
Practically a collection of hits.
Weezer - The Blue Album (actually a self-titled debut, too)
Some of the catchiest melodies you will ever hear.
This might be a stretch for rock, but...
Ben Folds Five - any of their three albums, really.
Piano rock. It's hard to describe, but absolutely worth a listen.
90's music had to have been influenced by something, right? If you get curious, look into these albums, which are amongst the best ever created.
The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Some think of it as the masterpiece of popular music. It actually directly influenced the creation of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band by the Beatles (Look into that one, too)
The Who - Tommy
The first real rock opera. An example of a concept album, where someone puts the album as a whole over the importance of a single. No one as attempted anything like this in a long, long time.
All this is just a small snippet of things that I like. The best way to find great music is to ask people you know what they're listening to. All different kinds of people too. Hope I helped.
