I've been listening to Christian rock and Korean rock, and just wandering what American rock bands you think are good. It doesn't have to be Christian or whatever.
The only one's that I know of are Linkin Park and Green Day. Any other good bands?

I've been into more indie or not as popular bands.
You can try Lovedrug, Kaddisfly, The Frame, Punchline, Bright Eyes, The Academy Is...
A good variety of music in here also.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

Eisley...i strongly recommend Eisley...theyre not your average rock group...its what happens when a family who grew up reading Harry Potter, watching Star Wars and listening to Radiohead decide to start a band.

Deftones
They're like a better, more talented/creative & diverse version of Linkin Park. They were actually one of LP's biggest influences. I made a thread for them somewhere around here.

Evanescence
is the best band ever. They categorize themselves as "Alternative", but it's more of a mix between rock and goth metal. Lead singer Amy Lee (err...Amy Lee Hartzler) sings with emotion in every song, and not every song is one of those lovey-dovey songs, which is another thing why I love them.
Here are some favorites: Haunted, Field of Innocence, Going Under, Before the Dawn, Even In Death, Sweet Sacrifice, Lithium, The Only One, Snow White Queen...
...well, I can go on and on with the list...
but you just have to listen to Haunted!

haha i like linkin park and green day too (well the latter is kinda hit-or-miss for me because they have songs i can't stand, but the former is like... all of their songs sound the same so whatever)
do you have itunes? if so, you can click "itunes essentials" on the main page to bring up a section that's just a bunch of official itunes playlists divided by genre, style, era, artist, etc. and even within those playlists, the songs are separated into three categories: basic/popular, advanced, and really obscure. when i'm bored, i seek those out and click on the songs to listen to the 30-second samples until i find something that sounds catchy. you can check out the "mainstream rock" playlist to start
it has both linkin park and green day, plus other bands you might like.
and for specific bands... try muse, they're great. and ^ i like evanescence too, although like with LP i get made fun of the worst for admitting that.

Hmm...well there are lots of different varieties.
Well, I'm sure someone mentioned Death Cab for Cutie
Then there's the Postal Service, not sure if you've heard of them. The vocalist for this band is for Death Cab too.
Augustana is pretty good too ^^
But those are kind of like soft rock-ish.

The Blood brothers are a rock band. How are they not? Have you listened to them?
And to the topic starter I would only recommend blood brothers from that list but you dont like hardcore music, so I would recommend Death cab for cutie, Pinback, The American Analog Set, The Postal Service, The Arcade Fire, Minus the Bear, Copeland, The Beatles, Nada Surf, Modest Mouse, The Shins, Rilo Kiley.......

Another couple of groups I remembered, or just heard very recently
Windsor for the Derby (kinda like a mixture of Gorillaz / Explosions in the Sky)
Explosions in the Sky
Of Montreal (Very experimental / poppy / electronica sound. Takes a LONG time getting used to but it grows on you)

Yes. I agree.
But like someone else mentioned, Evanescence.
AND (they`re Finnish, but that the hell..) HIM. I love them. I`m pretty much obsessed.
Check `em out (they call themselves "Love Metal" (something they made up), but ibasically it`s rock/goth/alt/(in some songs) metal). REALLY GOOD. I love them!!

Depends on what kind of rock you like
Coldplay (my #1)
Rooney (tied with coldplay, reminds me of a modern version of the Beatles)
Maroon 5 (more pop rock)
The Killers (second album is better)
Jet (love their sound)
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Fall Out Boy (pop rock again)
...I stress Coldplay and Rooney
