You could try listening to some Pearl Jam, Especially their
album Ten is extremely good and considered a masterpiece by many.
Notable songs to check out: Alive, Even Flow, Jeremy, Porch,
Rearviewmirror If you like a little harder rock than Pearl Jam has
to offer, you could go for Stone Temple Pilots. Also, if you like
your rock to be a little faster and more joyful, you could try
listening to "The Offspring" Although they're mostly considered to
be a punk rock band one could argue about their style of punk rock
(especially in their early works) could fall in under the category
of "Hard Rock" Notable songs to check out: Self Esteem, Come Out
And Play, The kids Aren't Alright, (Can't Get My) Head Around You
If however, you like to listen to some not-so-known well known
music you could also try listening to a band named Jane's
Addiction. Their style is somewhat similar to classic Hard Rock
bands such as Gun's N' roses (which you could also check out)
Notable songs to check out: Just Because, True Nature, Stop! Also.
A some really good bands that also emerged from the early 90's
Seattle grunge rock scene (along with pearl jam) would be Alice In
Chains and Soundgarden Notable songs to check out (by Alice in
chains): Would?, Down In A hole, Them Bones Notable songs to check
out (by soundgarden): Black Hole Sun, Spoonman, Fell on Black Days,
My Wave I think that can get you started for now. A good idea if
you like to find new music recommendations based on what you
already listen to, or just to discover new music, could be to join
Last.fm (also called the social music revolution) you could Google
it. Have fun.
