I'm looking for some new music to listen to, because I've been going through various phases of genres. Recently I was listening to a lot of Pop/Punk stuff (Fall Out Boy, New Found Glory, etc.) and than I switched back to Post-Hardcore (My Chemical Romance, Atreyu, Alexisonfire, etc.) back to Metal (Children of Bodom, Finntroll, Opeth, etc.) and now I need help finding what to listen to next.
Right now I'm listening to Powerman 5000 and I'm liking what I'm hearing (I liked Powerman 5000 before, but now I have all their albums). So, I /r/ moar bands like Powerman 5000, or at least of similar sound.
Ditch off Powerman 5000 and listen to Toto. Their best songs are "Africa", "Rosanna" and "Hold the Line". If not Toto, then Journey. Their best songs:
Don't Stop Believing
Seperate Ways
Loving, Touchin, Squeezin
Wheel in the Sky
Faithfully
Open Arms
Ask the Lonely
I'll be alright without you
i'm just going to throw some **** that's good generally out there and semi-fits your genres, so
listen to:
protest the hero (recc. "blindfolds aside," "she who mars the skin of the gods")
tomahawk (recc. "laredo," "flashback," "when the stars begin to fall")
the vandals (recc. "eurobarge," "don't stop me now," "illa zilla ladykilla")
buckethead (recc. "botnus," "descent of the damned," "the cobra's head")
butthole surfers (recc. "pepper," "who was in my room last night," basically everything off of Electric Larryland)
at the drive in (recc. "arc arsenal," "rolodex propaganda")
bad acid trip (recc. "cigarette pack, furious fists of jackie chan")

I don't know exactly what it is you find interesting about Powerman 5000. I haven't listened to them in aaaaaages, so I'm still kind of foggy on what all their music sounds like. But if memory serves me correctly, it's a more industrial influence, if it is listen to a lot of Ministry, Godflesh, Pain, Samael (later), KMFDM, Fear Factory, Revolting Cocks, Killing Joke, White Zombie, Mortiis (later), Android Lust, Ram-Zet, Red Harvest, Static X (early), Nine Inch Nails, etc. If you're more into the nu-metal side of Powerman 5000, listen to all the obvious crap.

That is all.
Okay, here's some bands I think you should listen to:
Soundgarden
Nine Inch Nails
Rob Zombie
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Alice In Chains
Mother Love Bone
GWAR
Pink Floyd
Queen
Stone Temple Pilots
That's enough for now.
Stop listening to ****ty music everyone forgot about ten years ago.
I don't know if you're talking to me, but a lot of my music was forgotten about long before that, or never remembered at all.

There's not much similar without stretching the definition of similar that doesn't suck.
I said Rob Zombie because he's Spider One's brother. I've never really listened to Powerman 5000, but I hear mixed reviews. Since they're apparently a nu-metal influenced band, or something like that, I'm probably not going to rush to get any of their music. It's just not my kind of music. I do like some bands from the genre, but oh, well...
What does /r/ mean? At least drop the douche code speak for this board, you nerd.
What Shin-Ra said mainly, especially Ministry and KMFDM. Give Laibach and Project Pitchfork a trial too.

That should do for now, there's so many good artists out there and music taste is always changing. I'm in a more Retro 80's phase right now, but just last week I was listening to stuff like JS Bach's Tocatta & Fugue all the time.
cinnamon lips is a ****ing gay song. i like ok go's old album but come on now. :(
also, that nazareth song is called "hair of the dog," not what you said.
Check out Gojira. I downloaded their stuff last night and liked it. Their newest album, "From Mars to Sirius (I think)," is all I heard though.
Also, look for some Icon of Coil. Check out the album Machines Are Us. Quality EBM.
Check out Flashbulb, since Ian just got me hooked.
Thanks a lot for all the suggestions guys, mostly everything (that I haven't already heard of and dis/liked) is being torrented as we speak. Wheeee.
Needs more black metal.
Emperor and Dimmu Borgir :-*
I just listened to a bit of Dimmu Borgir for the first time. Pretty good stuff. One question, does the guy EVER go into singing, or is it all straight-up growls?
No singing on their part.
And don't be gay and derep me for being the only person with the balls to be HONEST about Floyd. They're so overplayed around here, that if I listen to them one more time, I'm going to throw my radio at the wall. At this point, after hearing most of their catalog over 10,000 times, I'd only not want to change the station if I was stoned.
Hey wait, Borgir does have a guy who sings. Sings like a mo****in' angel. :| I hear him in Sympozium and Progenies of the Great Apocalypse, and there's probably others.
He was only good in Borknagar. And that's not saying much. Though what album did you listen to anyways?
