...alphabetically!1
These are all amazing songs by amazing bands, but some are better than others. The best of these songs I've marked with a *. I'd also like to say that for this particular list I've included most of the not-so-mainstream stuff I love because you said you needed to find new music and most people haven't heard of most of these bands. There are a few exceptions, but in these cases the songs I've included from well-known bands are their most underappreciated songs that you're not likely to have heard unless you're a real fan.2
Now, as a warning, I'm into a lot of hardcore and such. So if you don't really like screaming in an aggressive context, I've marked these songs with a @.3
