Hey I'm trying to get into rock kinda so what are good bands? I'm sick of rap and it's lame so if any of you know any good bands or songs tell me. I hate metal so kinda calm songs and not really bad lyrics.
I don't know if any of these are really what style your looking for, but my fav's are. Dave Matthews Band! (the best!) (got the calm songs and the absolute best lyrics) Maroon 5, Coldplay, The Fray, Jurassic 5 (kinda like rap/reggae).If you like those, I can give you more like them :)
Usually girls your age will tend to gravitate to more indie rock than mainstream. Girls just seem to relate better to the musical style and lyrics. With that said there's nothing wrong if you want to just jump in feet first. There are enough bands here to keep you going for a while, but I'd recommend:
The Killers The Strokes My Chemical Romance Coheed & Cambria (one of my favorites) Modest Mouse The New Pornographers Coldplay Alexisonfire City and Colour
Then there is more mainsteam rock like:
Seether The Red Hot Chili Peppers Chevelle Breaking Benjamin Lostprophets Nirvana
Then there's hard rock, experimental, and hardcore like:
Tool Rage Against the Machine Disturbed Sevendust 30 Seconds to Mars A Perfect Circle Metallica At The Drive-In The Mars Volta Sparta All That Remains As I Lay Dying
Then there's metal:
Killswitch Engage In Flames Soilwork Meshuggah Lamb of God
If you do end up liking hard rock or hardcore, you should definitely give Killswtich Engage a listen as it's really only boarderline metal.
I absolutely love you for the opinion you have on this music! lol j/k but its the same as mine! haha
Well I don't know what you would really like but I could suggest older bands like Aerosmith, ACDC, Metallica, Guns N Roses, etc.
More modern rock I don't know too many good bands. I just like a lot of certain songs from whoever. I really like System of a Down tho. They do every kind of rock you can think of and they have some songs that are just for the hell of it ad they were bored or something lol
I just wrote this huge list out, with songs and albums, genres and sub genres explaining everything, it was so nice, but something happened when I hit preview post, and I lost it all…. I'm too angry now to make a huge list again so here some bands

Answerer
I know tons of girls who listen to these since they were like, 15. but I guess your right too, but since she doesn't have a specific taste yet, might as well try everything - 3 months ago
If you're still looking, try: Secondhand Serenade - very calm and their lyrics are really sweet Something Corporate - love his voice & lyrics Boys Night Out - I think they have interesting stuff lol Bayside The Almost Sherwood - their music always makes me happy The Rocket Summer The Spill Canvas hope you like those :]

You said you like calm songs, so I’m kinda sticking to that (although there are lots of other great bands out there):
The Academy is… Army of Me Augustana Ben’s Brother Ben Folds Five The Bravery The Calling Everybody Else Hellogoodbye Jack’s Mannequin The Last Goodnight Lifehouse The National Nickelback Our Lady Peace The Pretenders The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Snow Patrol Yellowcard Zox (they’re a local band, but I saw them live with Jack’s Mannequin--good show)
By the way, if you go to pandora.com you can type in a band or song that you like and it finds similar artists/songs.
Here are some of my rock favs. Amber Pacific, Sum 41, Yellowcard, Acceptance, Billy Joel, AFI, Boys Like Girls, Foo Fighters, The Killers, Nirvana and Scary Kids Scaring Kids. You should check out alternative rock too, it's a good genre too.
