Mastodon is awesome.

Check out the generic rock thread, probably on the first or second page.

I am really into metal myself, if I was to list some bands I would prolly go with Rush and Porcupine Tree. They are progressive/rock. Do you need to know what albums as well? Both bands have a substantial amount of album releases.

That is a pretty metal heavy list. Think he is after probably some good rock, for a lot of people getting into metal is a gradual process xD

Also you listed 2 of my favorite bands xD
