While trying to discover my "musical tastes", I have found that I just really like GOOD OLD ROCK & ROLL. I have found numerous bands i love but was wondering if anyone knew anymore bands that would fit this kind of taste...
My Morning Jacket (ofcourse)
Wilco
Ryan Adam's
John Prine
The Hold Steady
Drive By Truckers
Old Crow Medicine Show
Rolling Stones
Allen Toussiant
The Band
Gillian Welch
Bright Eyes
Any others that kind of fit this kind of mold (good lyrics, good jams, good old rock and roll) ???
I put Spoon in there
[size=22]NEIL YOUNG[/size]
Give the Constantines a listen, judging from your list I think you might like 'em:
http://www.myspace.com/constantines
the kinks
elvis costello (first two albums especially)
1. Tom Petty
Everyone should own his Greatest Hits album.
2. Neil Young
Gold Rush - amazing
3. M. Ward
Transfiguration of Vincent This album is a master piece.
The White Stripes and The Soundtrack Of Our Lives fall into the "good old rock and roll" category. So does Sloan, Supergrass, The Raconteurs, The Shins, The Stills, Broken Social Scene and countless other killer power-pop bands.
CCR 8-)
pretty much what Jaimoe and rc said.
You cannot go wrong with Supergrass and CCR dude.
heard of most of those...except supergrass. What's their deal?

They burst out in the 90's from England and kick major modern power-pop ass. One of that genre's true masters. Here's All Music Guide's write-up and CD reviews: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=SUPERGRASS&sql=11:jxfqxqqgld0e~T0
BTW, if you caught VH1's Who Tribute from last last week, Supergrass' leader, Gaz Coombes, sang lead on The Foo Fighters' version of "Bargain".
Here's some good 'uns.

I can't speak for the Dexateens because I haven't seen them live yet, but Glossary is one of the best damn live bands out there. I saw them last week and the only cover they did was "Evil Urges". :)
Quoteheard of most of those...except supergrass. What's their deal?
They're phenomanal and in my top 10 favorite bands of all time. Their albums are fantastic. If you have any interest in what the music press dubbed "Britpop" do yourself a favor and check out their first 2 albums
I Should Coco and In It For The Money which came out during the height of Britpop. Any of their albums would be an excellent choice however.

i think supergrass and gomez are two exceptions to the standard brit pop scene---almost like they're the british jam bands---i would highly recommend them both
also add Traffic to your list and i would recommend some Alejandro Escovedo
Wolf Parade
Wolf Parade
and
Wolf Parade
did I mention Wolf Parade??
Absolutely Dr. Dog if you're into the Beatles/Band sound.
Comets on Fire are great, loud psychadelic rock.
Black Mountain if you have some classic metal leanings.
Nick Cave is more of an acquired taste, but some of his recent stuff is reminiscent of the Doors, in the best possible way.
Recent Okkervil River is also a good bet.
Outformation, a recent discovery of mine, is great if you're into Ryan Adams and Drive-By Truckers.
Otherwise, I agree with all the bands previously mentioned.
QuoteCCR 8-)
I love listening to CCR when my family and I go on holiday, driving down the long roads and bends.
This is one of my favourite bands and they're also my avatar:
Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders, they sound like good 70's-ish rock and roll. Please check them out. I know Jacket fans will like them.
Here's their song Drive Me Insane, please watch...

Digging on these Outformation guys...it's jammy but not noodly (if that makes sense).
Black Mountain is a band i've been meaning to get into - i keep hearing wonderful things, have just never had the undying urge to buy their cd, but i think this was a the feather that broke the camels back.
Howlin' Rain anyone? Just heard these guys too...they're from Santa Cruz CA, which is nice for me seeing as how Im from the Bay. We don't get much of the "southern rock" acts out west in their blooming stages...but howlin' rain will do just fine. Check em out, they're way fun!

Which Supergrass cd is "their best". I listened to their myspace with their new stuff and like it a lot, but is their one you would recommend?

DEFINITELY "In it for the money" or "Supergrass" (the album after In it for the money)
I Should Coco is my favourite Supergrass cd. Sitting Up Straight is one of my favourite songs ever.

All of them of course. Personally for me In It For the Money is one of the greatest albums of the 90's. I should Coco isn't far behind either. In order of brilliance, IMO. Damn, where's DB when we need him?
The 2 tied for 5 are their "weaker" albums but that is NOT to say they are bad as both are very very good. It's just the first 3 are that strong. Road to Rouen is amazing and I was sold after listening to Tales from Endurance. That song makes me wish I was a better guitar player.
I could go on and on about them. My only regret is having only seen them live once. :D
1. In It For The Money
2. I Should Coco
3. Life On Other Planets
4. Road to Rouen
5. Tie Supergrass and Diamond Hoo Ha.
Going to Ameoba Records today and I'm going to buy
- New Dr. Dog (Duh!!)
- Supergrass - In it for the money or I should Coco (whatever is cheaper of course)
- Something by Whiskytown
then, I'm going to buy some beer and hang out with my dog and a pack of smokes on my back porch and get ready for the Glossary/Lucero
PS - just heard of these guys from being introduced to Glossary Lucerohttp://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=10598738
they're playing with Glossary tonight at Bottom of The Hill in S.F. They are some Good Ol' Rock & Roll!!!!
Lucero is most definitely some good ol' rock and roll.
I still haven't had the pleasure of seeing them live, though.
I hope you're ready for the rock show, 'cause Glossary is gonna bring it. If you happen to talk to any of them, tell them that Corey from Lauderdale said "Sweet Hang!".
I just recently got into the Hold Steady myself and they are pretty excellent.
Please check out anything and everything related to THE BLACK KEYS and THE BLACK CROWES... 2 of my favorites without question. And of course... SPRIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGSSSTTTTEEEENNNNN.
the Whigs
I agree with a lot of the bands already mentioned:
-The Whigs
-The Black Crowes
-CCR
-The Band
-Supergrass ("In It For The Money" is their best album and definitely in the top 10 of the best albums of the 90s.)
