    Default GOOD "Generic Rock" Songs.

    Please don't get offended if I insult your favorite band in here. Music is all about opinions, and just because I hate something doesn't mean you can't like it. If we disagree, please just don't post. Thanks! <3

    So my buddy listens to the "generic rock" station...I don't know what else to call it. They play a lot of Three Days Grace, Disturbed, Nickleback...all those bands that usually make me wanna puke.

    But every once in a while they play a gem that shines through all the crap. Unfortunately, I rarely ever get to hear these songs because I'm not willing to listen to 30 songs I hate for 1 song I enjoy.

    Example:



    Now that song is BAD ***. I remember listening to this when I was younger (even saw them in concert at the big fest said radiostation puts on each year). It has meaning, it sounds cool, the vocals are nice, etc.

    Does anyone else have some other songs like this I'm forgetting about? Songs that aren't quite classic rock but are semi-old and forgotten?

    Stuff by Stone Temple Pilots and stuff. Not so much STP, because we all already know of STP...maybe some missed out one hit wonders. The song "No Rain" comes to mind.

    Old song from the 90s but still a great song in my opinion. :P

    not exactly "forgotten gems" because everyone knows these songs, but I like them and I usually hate "generic rock".

    Stone Sour - Through Glass, Say you'll haunt me
    Alice in Chains - Would?, Heaven Beside You,
    REM - Loosing my Religion, (I'm having trouble remembering song names.)
    The Tragically Hip - New Orleans is Sinking, Blow at High Dough, Poets
    Staind - Outside, Epiphany, So Far Away

    They are kind of obscure bands with alot of hits. Around the late 80s to present.
