Any modern rock recommendations?


Can anyone recommend any recent rock music?  Been dragging out my classic rock albums from 60's, 70's and 80's.  Surely there must be some decent rock bands in the classic style from this century...

all good guitar driven acts with melodies and musicianship. 

Like many people, I find myself stuck in a +/- 15 year time frame when it comes to rock music.  That being, the music of my youth.  Around 1965 - 1980.  Lost interest about the time the big hair bands took over the scene.  And for me, I can't listen to music that has meaningless lyrics.  I want "Sympathy For The Devil", not "You Give Love A Bad Name".   Maybe that's why I listen to 80% jazz and classical these days.  I'm a victim of the wealth of great rock music I grew up with.  It's been done and not likely to be repeated.  IMHO 

Little Feat have put out a couple of albums  "Strike Up the Band" this year and "Sam's Place" a couple of years ago that definitely have that Classic Rock sound.  They're touring this summer. Might be what you're looking for.
