Can't list more than a few, really, but there's probably a list on wikipedia somewhere. I'm too cheap to pay for internet, so I'm accessing from a wifi hotspot a block away (no idea how), but I don't have the bandwidth to play videos. If you consider post-grunge to still be grunge, then there are quite a few more.
I'm sure the White Stripes were great at some point, but now they're just milking it like Nintendo is the Mario Franchise. I suppose one could argue that Nirvana would be doing the same, but Cobain's dead, so we're able to remember them for the good things they put out.
I don't mind sexual lyrics at all, I just dislike the simple and repetitive ones. But you're right, nothings beats shooting myself in the foot to make a hike a little more challenging.

RIP to Marvin Isley, bass player for the Isley Brothers.
I saw Marvin and the Isleys in concert at the Oakland Coliseum in 1979 along with Larry Graham and the SOS band. The Isleys were 2 hours late and 1/2 of them were asleep but they still brought the funk. Great concert, great times.
Marvin's on the left in this next video, with a beard and his bass guitar. He died young, his body ravaged by diabetes he regretted not treating with lifestyle changes. Norman Whitfield went the same way, and Barry White did too. Looking at him at 32 years old in that video it's hard to think that he would be dead at 56. Thanks for the music.

I put my pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make gold posts.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

Vampyra X - El Árabe... an almost unknown band from my city, Monterrey, México... the guitarist (the one with short hair) is a mate of mine at work... it was fun to see him almost 20 years in the past... when he was my age!!! =P
In Extremo - Nur ihr allein one of their best songs, even when it has something like a "pop punk" feel to it... it sticks in my head every time I listen to that song.
Lacuna Coil - I like it... a good band from Italy...

Not sure whether I prefer the original or the acoustic version. Gotta stop rotting my brain with all this trance, but it's one of the few music types that utilizes every part of my surround sound system.

If you wanted me to go peacefully, lose a fight, surrender, or lay my head on an executioner's block, this song is my siren's call to rest.
Just something for the militaries of the world to think about...
