Skyfire
Sonic Syndicate
Scar Symmetry
In Flames
Arsis
Within The Ruins
All Shall Perish
Katatonia
In Fear And Faith
Shadow
Corpus Christi
Blackguard
Amon Amarth

Dreamshade
Eluvietie
Obscura
Shatter Silence
Blood Stain Child
Sons Of Aurelius
Through The Eyes Of The Dead
Dark Tranquility
Wretched
Daath
Rings Of Saturn

I could probably keep going on for days, but these should suffice.

Id have to slightly disagree with you bruh. Id have to say Jazz and Blues is the epitome of true music. Not only does they capture the creative portion of music, but they also embody the entire "Emotional" system as well. Ive never felt classical like that other than the connections with family growing up. More so with Blues, you can FEEL the emotion.

i disagree with both of you - i'd say the genre doesn't matter in the slightest; every genre has examples of doing the emotive thing brilliantly, regardless of the emotion in question (of course any one genre will mostly focus on a particular set of emotions), just that people (me included) focus on listening to certain genres more and hence find the emotion there more easily
 
I can't believe I've never visited this part of the forum before. Here's my list:

American Football
Explosions in the Sky (Beautiful instrumentals if you're into just sitting back and relaxing)
Ken Oak Band
Lola Ray
Metric
Nico Vega
Ra Ra Riot
Silversun Pickups
The Hush Sound


Time for me to check out some of the suggestions posted in this thread now. :)

I tend to disagree here. I would say that the general populace are very familiar with certain aspects of the fine arts these days. mainly from movies, adverts and sports. People might hear a classical piece in an advert or a movie, they like it, they want to hear more. Especially that much western pop music can be so bad now IMO. "The Three Tenors" have been extremely successful, and that was mainly because of the FIFA World Cup.

I went to see "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart a couple of years ago, I'd heard the overture somewhere, I never been to an opera before in my life, I enjoyed it. I bet many people have explored the music of Wagner, mainly because of "Ride of the Valkyries". That's been used in a few movies, plus there's the famous Warner Bros - Bugs Bunny cartoon "What's Opera Doc?", MGM - Tom & Jerry "The Cat Concerto" and Disney's "Fantasia". A few years ago I had a friend asking me about Saint-Sa
 
It looks like our taste in Rock is fairly similar. I would suggest you look at:

Minus the Bear
Three (aka "3")
Coheed and Cambria
mewithoutyou (start with "catch for us the foxes")
Bloc Party
Foals
MGMT
The Bird and the Bee
Paramore
Clutch
The Dead Weather
The Kinison
Boys Night Out
Bear Vs. Shark
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Black Keys
Wolfmother

I don't know if You'll like any of the Metal that I do. If you're willing to try something new, you might like one of these:

Unearth
Bury Your Dead
Vektor
Textures
Mastodon
The Human Abstract
Protest the Hero
Intronaut
Misery Signals
August Burns Red
Every Time I Die
 
if you like electro/minimal sounds, you should check out:

- Steve Bug
