Your critique of nu-metal is bit harsh. Since ne metal is just the mixture of rock hip-hop industrial and metal . Bands like limp bizkit Korn Linkin park, otep, deftones flyleaf slipknot evanescence and many more considered nu metal. But it might not be your style.

So back to your question. It really depends on how hard you want it. How much screaming.

If you like it really hard. May I suggest five finger death punch, in this moment halestorm. Who have powerful ballads and really hard metal songs

If you're looking for something more old school rock, may I suggest Greta van fleet. Who gives off led zeppelin vibes.

There are so many good rock bands out there that no one ever hears of due to corporate radio. I would suggest looking on alternative charts. That's where you're going to find new bands that sounds like they are out of the 70s and 80s.

My understanding is that factory records, home of New Order and Joy division, would release singles that wouldn’t appear on albums. That is why the compilations “substance” were released. Each band has a “substance” album worth checking out.

Jimmy buffet’s “songs you know by heart” fits what you’re looking for as well.

Abba Greatest Hits was actually their breakthrough LP in the UK. It was the biggest selling album of 1976 despite the fact that, Waterloo and the recent late-1975 smash Mamma Mia excepted, most of the tracks were either completely unknown, obscure or forgotten. 1976 UK number one Fernando was added to the 1976 reissue to get even more sold.

In a slightly different way, the Beatles Red and Blue albums were the ‘way in’ to the group for Gen X folk who grew up to form Britpop bands and get ‘1’ for Xmas from their kids, making the album the biggest selling LP of the 2000s. This is the only context in which you can correctly say the sentence ‘Good job, Allen Klein.’
