Everyone has their own opinion. There are a lot of different types of rock music and so it is hard to say which is the best. Nirvana and Radiohead are two of the most popular English speaking bands. I like Radiohead. I grew up listening to "Weezer" and "Radiohead", The Zombies (from the 1960's), The Turtles (from the 1960's). Jimmy Hendrix is good. I also like music from the 1980's, such as "Devo" and "The Violent Femmes", and "The Stooges." David Bowie is not a band, but he is a rock musician, and I like him too. I also enjoy "Heart" and Pat Benatar. Very popular older bands that I do not really like are Aerosmith, Journey, The Rolling Stones, The Doors. Everyone also loves Elvis, the Beatles, and Buddy Holly. Modern rock music that gets played on MTV (Music Television) varies. I do not listen to the radio or watch MTV, but if you go to the MTV website you can learn a lot. http://www.mtv.com/music/ There is a lot of underground or "indie" music that is popular. There is also Rockabilly, which tries to imitate rock music from the 1950's. For example, I like the band The Reverend Horton Heat, or "surf rock" music like Man or Astroman. There is also music that is influenced by "punk rock" or is "punk rock," such as Operation Ivy, the Misfits, the Sex Pistols, The Dead Kennedys, The Dead Milkmen. Many of the bands I like are from another country.

I listen to Disturbed, Nickelback, Rammstein, Breaking benjamin, Rise against to name some. Too many songs to name a few :P
