I have no clue if this qualifies, but I have a friend who used to swear by Queens of the Stone Age. I tried to listen, but fuck me running I just could not listen to that stuff.

Someone tell me if QOTSA qualifies.

they're good, but totally power-chord or similar. they use subtle changes in the chord progression as opposed to an actual riff more often than not. it works but i'm just looking for more stuff

Okay, I wasn't sure. I still can't listen to them. Maybe I'm just old and set in my ways. I'm pretty sure my friend got laid as a result, though, that sneaky bastard.

Did you listen to any of the bands suggested yet? what'd you think?

progression > riffs, imo. then again, I don't play guitar, so it's a different perspective.

Less Than Jake - they're ok and do a lot of good covers, but aren't amazing, and definitely not what i'm looking for here.
Nirvana - not a big fan, but it's not what I'm looking for at all here.

chord progression is essential everywhere but there has to be something else. While I have more than enough songs that are similar, there's a lot that I want from music that I'm unsure of who can put me in that direction. I'll find some good riffs tomorrow as I have a very early night tonight to do.

yes, there's progression, but there's a big difference between, to use previous examples, Nirvana & Opeth. I'm more interested in the composition than the performance, I guess.
