Rock/Metal is too huge to get just 5 from.

Especially since they're completely different genres.

Yeah SOAD is awesome, I own all their albums. I think they're first album is their best though.

I'm sure they will get back together. I don't think they will succeed separated anyways.

Any list without AC/DC and the Beetles just isn't a list!

-AC/DC; for having the second highest selling album of all time, behind Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
-The Beetles because they are, well, The Beetles. Probably the most famous band of all time.

I'm guessing experimental/alternative and "laid back" rock all comes under Rock, therefore;

1. Circa Survive
2. Saosin
3. Escape the Fate
4. All-American Rejects
5. Cage the Elephant

iirc Serj and Daron's stuff together doesn't add up to a SOAD album. They made great music on their own, but was much better when they were together.

Good taste, guy.
My choice would probably be:

1. King Crimson (prog rock)
2. Gentle Giant (prog/art rock)
3. Opeth (prog death metal)
4. The Residents (the godfathers of mindfuck)
5. Jesu (experimental/drone rock/metal, idk how to even put it in a single genre)
