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...

Some great recommendations.

My dad is a 78 y/o hippie.  Fading into Alzheimers.

He and I share a love (he bestowed) of 70s +/- classic rock.

Zeppelin, Floyd, Jimi, Beatles (late) etc etc.

I love more than anything when one of "my bands" moves his needle.

He and my uncle are now both My Morning Jacket fans.  Live and studio...lots on vinyl 

Catching up on rock from the last 45 years!

There is really lots of great rock music.  As good as it ever was.  It’s just not mainstream like it used to be. IMHO much of today's rock and related music is more of an acquired taste and repeat listening is in order.  One has to learn the language, as it were.
