I cracked a rib during their set when they were opening for My Chem this last april. I remember one dude had awesome hair, but that's about it. I went on to crack a total of three ribs at that show but the perserveriance paid off cause I got Frank Iero's guitar pic.
Personally, my fave of all rock is AFI.
And because somebody has to do it, let's throw in a little MCR.
cookie cutter (ironic word as most of their fans are "cutters") crap.

MCR maybe, but AFI have been around for ages doing their own thing. For the most part, other bands *cough*Aiden*cough* are copying them, cause AFI stopped trying to be the Misfits ages ago. I will say that Decemberunderground is a pretty commercial load of crap, except the song 37mm...but that wasn't even written as an AFI song to start with, it was supposed to be for their side project Blaqk Audio.
Actually, they're only kinda rock, but Blaqk Audio are pretty cool. They never managed to get a music video out though, lol.

By "contemporary", do you mean stuff that's popular right now, or that has been released this decade?
Suicide Machines - War Profiteering is Killing Us All (from 2005)
I can't have enough of this, ever since I heard it:
"Meds" is a great album from start to finish. Given that Placebo is not as popular in the states as they are in Europe it may have gone overlooked. Highly recommended.
It wasn't a single, so it has no video...but I found that one on YouTube made from scenes from "Requiem for a Dream" which is kinda cool.

MCR can eat a dick. Here's one of my favorites, off the top of my head
The Toadies- Tyler... sure it's about stalking/kidnapping/rape but it's a quality song in itself ;) The singer has one of the best vocal scream's this side of jim morrison

But yeah, Toadies kick ass. Possum Kingdom is another great song.
And speaking of MCR...does anyone else see the resemblance between the lead singer and Billy Corgan? They're like father and son!

I was thinking the same thing how is Iris from the Goo Goo Dolls be considered "contemporary" its 10 years old.
