What are you RAWKing Out to?
I am currently RAWKing out to the Soviettes, Scared of Chaka, and Apocalypse Hoboken.

Old Blue Oyster Cult, for now and all eternity. There need to be about ten more bands like them.
Today's selection featured Beef, VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berserk, Tragically Hip.
I dont' know about rocking, but listening to Flywheel, Shyster & Flywheel...

It is RAWKing, not rocking...
Keith
The Soviettes, Isis, Pelican, The Dickies, David Bowie, and Sleep.
Laibach, Ray Lynch and Hilary Stagg.
What, Hilary Stagg?
He made his own GODDAMN ELECTRIC HARP, fer Chrissakes. If that doesn't RAWK, I don't know what does.
-Andy
P.J. Harvey, The Cult, Cream, Afro Celt Sound System, and Chet Baker.
-Chris
The whirring fan of my computer.
Really, who needs the noise?
The Soviettes are truly awesome.
This week, I've been listening to a lot of The Famous (http://www.thefamous.net/). They're damn incredible with the rock and the twang and suchnot.
Lately its been The Pogues, Flogging Molly, Tom Waits and Sleater-Kinney.
Well, I don't know if RAWKing really applies to country/folk or techno, but right now I'm way into Terri Hendrix (http://www.terrihendrix.com) and Groove Coverage (http://www.groove-coverage.de) (especially their cover of Alice Cooper's Poison -- yeah, that's right, a techno cover of Poison). All-time favorites are too many to list, but include Ani Difranco, Bad Religion, George Clinton, and Penelope Swales. What can I say? My music is all over the place.
I'm RAWKing to the Backstreet Boys and Brittany Spears!

This morning I was funking out to Los Amigos Invisibles (http://www.amigosinvisibles.com/english/index.php) this morning in the car. "Me llamo Superfucker!"
Beyond that, I've been rawking out to Joy Division, Gang of Four, Throwing Muses and Wire--and the occasional Mission of Burma and Mekons song.
My current play-and-play-again disc is Dixie Chicks. I can't help loving a band that records a perky, bouncy song about two women getting together to kill an abusive husband and dump his body.
Greenwheel :D
These guys have gone from indie rock to signed and back to indie, and still rock the house! Plus, free music on their site and encouragement of their fans to track down old copies on Kazza, you just don't see that!
http://www.greenwheel.net (rawkin off the site :D)
American Head Charge, Mudvayne, Killswitch Engage, and http://www.di.fm.
Oh, thanks for reminding me, Nate. Terri Hendrix is also indie and you can download music off her website (http://www.terrihendrix.com), so if you like country or folk (or just female vocalists in general) check out some of her songs.
Terrorvision - My number one listen. Regular Urban Survivors is a wonderful album in every way.
And what's really cool is I checked their website (http://www.terrorvision.com) cos of this thread, and they're gigging again (they had stopped with the "Take the Money and Run" tour).
-Matt
Right now System of a Down. All time favorite Guns 'n' Roses.
As of right now, I am rawking out to Bob Dylan.

Listened to the new Starbucks collection of early Miles Davis on the way to work. I'll probably listen to Marlene Dietrich singing cabaret on the way home. This morning I was listening to Warren Zevon's "Lawyers, Guns, and Money" over and over again.
Call me retro-lame.
Lately, Anti-Cimex and Totalitar.
Fiona Apple's new leaked album, Extraordinary Machine. Experimental, but totally excellent. Also, Damone, a heroic Boston pop punk bands with a major retro high school flavor. Also, Greg Trooper, if you want something countryish.
I usually rock a lot louder than this...
Lately, I've been grooving on the put-a-soul-singer-in-a-numetal-band style of the aforementioned Killswitch Engage and Sevendust. That's RAWK. Throw in some DragonForce and you have POWER EXTREME RAWK!
Also, Chris Thile's new solo album is sex in a bag. Who knew a mandolin prodigy would grow up into such an accomplished musician? And then there's one of the south's best kept secrets: Jump, Little Children.
And then there's all the obscure indie Chinese rock that none of you have ever heard of. Catcher in the Rye, anyone? Anyone? No?
Jonothan, you posted some band (Nand?) on your LJ recently, and they were REALLY awesome.
I've been rawking out to German stuff lately. Check out "Subway to Sally". That is a German Folk Metal classic. Truly awesome.

Lies. I saw your iTunes tracks yesterday Senowski. It was all Police and Zeppelin. Don't try to pretend you're cool. No one believes you anyway.
My current writing playlist contains:
Zyklon
Red Sparowes
Callisto
Tides
Ufomamut
Knut
Rosetta
Minsk
and Solstafir.
My alarm clock plays 35007's Tsunami.

I can match it, since a year has passed from the original post:
Here's what I'm listening to heavily at the moment:
Shellac, 1,000 Hurts
Uffomammut, Snailking
Mouth of the Architect, Time and Withering
Rosetta, The Galilean Satellites
Om, Conference of the Birds
Skalpel, Skalpel
Earth, HEX: Or Printing in the Infernal Method
Mississippi John Hurt, Avalon Blues - The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings
Irakere, Bailando Asi
The HorrorPops, Hell Yeah!
G.S. Sachdev/Zachir Hussain, Flights of Improvisation
I have been alternating sugary-sweet Chinese (and some Japanese and Korean) pop and great old American country and folk ballads. This is because I've been writing Bliss Stage and Drifter's alternately.
Yay to seeing the Evens tomorrow (McKaye's side-project). But the rawk comes more sporadically now:
Destroyer rawks, kinda - the ultimate rock cocktail. Indisputable!
Caliban rawks with that clean and deadly european metal guitar sound, and amazing but tastelessly titled songs like "I rape myself". Indisputable!
System of a Down assuredly rawks - they are most definitely Jello Biafra's redheaded mutant step-ape. Indisputable!
Hondo Maclean rule, to give prawps to the home-grawn rawk. Indisputable!
As Friends Rust turn punk-rock into punk-rawk. Salute them! Indisputable!
And Clutch are the mothers of rawk. Indisputable!
I keep using that word. I do not think it means what I think it means.
Black Cobra - Bestial (you better be there today Keith!)
Minsk - Out Of A Center Which Is Neither Dead Nor Alive
Unearthly Trance - Trident
Sólstafir - The Masterpiece of Bitterness
Shellac - 1000 Hurts
Red Sparrowes - At Soundless at Dawn
Isis - Live in Gödöllõ, Hungary
Scissorfight - Jaggernaut
Stone In Egypt - Swinging Dead in Summerwind
Rosetta - The Galilean Satellites
