I never thought I'd be recommending something that came from my sister (who went through a phase where blasting gangsta rap through my bedroom wall was her idea of good music) but she's out of that phase thank goodness and has gotten me into this new bad called The Devil Dolls. Yes, I know it sounds like some stupid R&B skanking out crap, but I find it brilliant. It's a great mixture of jazz and big band/swing with some alternative rock thrown in for good measure. Good vocals as well.
Here's a link to a youtube clip of them from a live show:

On the side bar are links to their song St. Christopher, which is a good one and a very big change from the first clip. Seriously, the whole album is very different from song to song, yet at the same time saying very connected.

ERIN here...
Styx sucks...I saw them on Wed. with Foreigner and Def Leppard. At least, Dennis Deyoung isn't with them anymore, but the new guy was just as annoying.
Listen to the Foo Fighters. I LOVE me some Foo!
Or maybe Velvet Revolver or Buck Cherry...

Don't play anything for two days. Switch off your cell phone. No radio, no TV. Enjoy the silence.

Megadeth - I've lately started listening to Megadeth and have become very interested in some of their tunes. At one point I was totally hooked to their Greatest Hits collection. If you just want to get one of their CDs, then I recommend that one. It rocks - hard.
Thin Lizzy - Their music varied pretty much throughout their career. And (at least at some point) their had excellent sounding harmony guitar parts in (some of) their songs.
Kate Bush - Beautiful voice and really nice songs. My favourite album is The Kick Inside. Solid gold all the way. If you want guitar-driven music, this might not be your first choice...but nonetheless I still highly recommend it.
