Lisa,
I agree with your AC/DC - "Back in Black."..I love that album too, and "Paradise by the Dashboard lights" is an great song off of "Bat outta Hell" .

some of my faves have already been mentioned, like Floyd, Rush, Def Leppard...here are a few others off the top of my head, some I just say Greatest Hits in case you dont know of them, compilations are a good way to get acquainted with an artist and from there you can look into the individual albums:
The Police - Regatta de Blanc, Zenyatta Mondatta, Snycronicity, Greatest Hits
U2 - The Best Of 1980-1990, Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby (anyways if you like these Id say buy all of their albums, they are my favorite group, the Police were until U2 came along)
Bob Dylan Greatest Hits Vol I and II
New Order - Substance
Joy Division - Closer
The Cure - Hits (cant remember the exact name)
Depeche Mode - Construction Time Again, Music for the Masses
Barenaked Ladies - Disc 1 1991-2001
REM - god, just about anyone, but esp Automatic For the People, Green, etc
Radiohead - OK Computer, Bends

Leander- I have that album, it's really good. "Say hello to Heaven" is the song that got airtime but "Wooden Jesus" and "Hunger Strike" are great songs on that album that rock too. It's pretty Grunge-y, but I love it.

Naeblis
The Tragically Hip - In Violet Light
The Tea Party - The Interzone Mantras
Hayden - Everything I long For
NIN - Pretty Hate Machine
Radiohead - Kid A

Wow I did'nt there were so many other music junkies like myself. I'll definitely checking out some of those suggestions.
What about heavy metal? What are some good metal albums without the evil overtones? (or is there good metal without evil ;^)

Temple of the Dog in my opinion is one GREAT CD, back in the day I wore out the tape after which the CD I bought got really scratched up, they were one of my most listened to bands, along with Candlebox during the first few years that I was removed from all of my family and so called friends therapeutic rock relief/release,......................I recommend it.

Get THE ALBUM that really started modern rock:
The Beatles White Album.
Helter Skelter; Happiness is a Warm Gun; Birthday; Everyboby Gots Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey...on and on!
You will quickly see where Rock Bands of today got their "sound." Most songs were written in 1967-68; The Beatles were way ahead of their time!
Also:
Black Sabbath: VOL 4
ACDC: Let There Be Rock (With Bon Scott)

Leander - these are as Heavy as I get
1) Godsmack- the first album.
2) Kill 'em All by Metallica is also good.
Neither are too evil..
