American Idiot blew my 10 year old mind in 2004. Bullet in a Bible blew my 11 year old mind in 2005 and introduced me to the idea of how good live music can be. I finally saw Green Day live in 2009 at 15. Best show of my life, even met them backstage afterwards. I’ve now seen them live ten times, Pinhead Gunpowder one time, and The Longshot two times.

ISIS (the band)

Dead Kennedys

Behemoth. Their an Extreme Black/Death Metal band from Gdańsk, Poland

Give Soulfly a try, start with the early stuff.

Are you sure you know the lyrics to this song?

There are many, but here's one:

"This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us."

--"Who Wants To Live Forever," by Queen

Are these times contagious

I've never been this bored before

Is this the prize I've waited for?

Now as the hours passing

There's nothing left here to insure

I long to find the messenger

Collective Soul / Run

From the most desperate and unknown place that he was at, he nailed it. Unreal the dedication.

Fair to Midland

Refused? as a kid of the 80s it connected me to sone sounds of the 70s… but then of the 90s? try it.

Porcupine Tree. I think you'll love them being into Tool. Their older stuff is quite Floydish but they start bringing in metal elements around Lightbulb Sun and they get into Tool territory. Give In Absentia a listen.

Mate it's a different guy.

Beat me to it. OP this is the band for you. Based on your music tastes I’ll suggest their album Omnium Gatherum. Don’t be daunted by their first track (an 18 min rock epic)

"And you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above." Tunnel of Love, Bruce Springsteen

Sort Sol - Let your fingers do the walking.

The band sings in English but they're from Denmark.

Treaty by Yothu Yindi is a banger. One of the few chart hits in Australia sung in a First Nations language. https://youtu.be/2uszdyMaC2c

That's so cool, you learn something new everyday. Pretty sure everytime I think french I'll remember the big purple snowy elephant

Neil Young - Natural Beauty

Nick Cave - Bright Horses

any grunge band from Seattle will surely meet your acquired taste.

Mushroom head. You’re welcome.

Sipho Hotstix Mabuse

Springbok Nude Girls

You probably already heard Prophets of Rage. Try some nerdcore.
