Okay, here are the rules. Well...I'll demonstrate.

Assume for a second that the person above me had put down Pink Floyd, Def Leppard, and Led Zeppelin. I would start my post by recommending Rush, or another band I think a person would like based on the three bands posted above me.

Then, I would list three of my favorite bands (three bands for whom you'd like to find a similar artist) and the person below me would recommend to me a band based on these.

AFI (early)
The Misfits
Rancid

Person below me: (ugh I dunno) The Vandals.

Oh, just something important I thought I would say. If you don't know any of the bands of the person above you, go here. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)

So now, I'll start.

Green Day
The Offspring
Goldfinger

What? Hoobastank is nothing like any of those bands. And I love the Flaming Lips, though they are kinda a lot different as well. Not as different though.

They sound like Chasing Cars, and I couldn't get my mind off of it. So I had to post Hoobastank.

Go to your garbage disposal and stick your head right next to drain, turn it on and enjoy.

Anyway, Fall of Troy. I saw them live and they seemed to fit in with most of those bands, at least if you put all their sounds together.

No, see, you have to put your arm in deeper, and then you'll get your fingers back.

All right, now you gotta walk over to your neighbor, hold out your arm and ask for the fingers. If they look at your arm in horror, it's because they don't understand how you knew they stole them.

Basshunter? Well they're techno, and Daft Punk is my favorite techno, so that is what I'd recomend.

Oh ya, and my 3 bands remain:
The Killers
Modest Mouse
Snow Patrol
