Incubus
Staind
Wolfmother is pretty cool...
um Michael Buble?
I like pretty much everything except the mindless screaming of crap that cannot be understood. Jazz, swing and classical I do listen too and like cause it relaxes me. I only listen to it on occasion, just like pop music. But Rock and a little heavy stuff is okay by me!

I like a wide variety. I can't listen to a bunch of stuff that just sounds the same. Some of my favorites:

Jimmy Eat World
Aerosmith
Mindless Self Indulgence
Faith No More
Burden Brothers
Tool
Queen
Jeff Buckley
Tomahawk
The Goo Goo Dolls
Mr. Bungle
Toadies
REM
Sufjan Stevens
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Deftones
Lynyrd Skynyrd

I make a lot of mix CDs, because it's very rare that I'm in the mood to listen to an entire album from one band. One of the reasons I like Mike Patton and his projects so much (that's Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, and several more that I haven't listed) is that he incorporates so many different music styles and influences into his music.
