Help Me Find Some Good Music?

OK, I have a dilemma.

I need to expand my musical horizon, I'm getting bored with the same stuff everyday. Can anyone help me find some really good music? I love rock, whether it be hard rock, soft rock, metal, alternative, etc. I also love for the music to have some depth, like I can listen to a song and take something away from it afterward. Not to say I don't mind a mindless, catchy song to hum along to once in a while. I guess I just want some good music to smoke a j to and relax (spare me the lectures on the morality of getting baked) ;)

Any suggestions are wickedly appreciated.:):)

(except rap/hip-hop, no offense to those that like it, I just don't)

Update:

Remo, I totally love your list, it made my night! I'm youtubing it as type :) Thanks

    - Nirvana, unplugged is great to relax to, there is depth to Cobain's songs - best example for that is Something in the Way

    - Steve Miller, always a good favorite, not much thinking here though

    - The Beatles, a standard, always good

    - John Lennon, on his own is very good, deep meanings to his songs

    - George Harrison, on his own excellent!, deep meanings in here as well

    - Jefferson Airplane, pretty great American standard from the 60s

    - Janis Joplin, good blues

    - Bob Dylan, very good lyrics, something to think about

    - Pink Floyd, always good thinking/chilling music

    - Syd Barrett, from Pink Floyd, less known when on own but his music is very trippy, hard to learn to like for some though, but his lyrics will make you think

    - Dispatch, good music, they don't make you think as much but still good

    - The Pixies, the whole loud quiet loud thing is kinda cool

    - The Bastard Fairies - I found them on youtube, their music is up beat but trippy and their lyrics are really interesting (I think they have a free album or song download on their site) check them out on youtube first to see if they are your thing

    - Sublime, a favorite for me, good music to sit back and relax to (and smoke a j!)

    - Oasis, Dig Out Your Soul album is trippy! Very Beatles inspired and you can tell in the lyrics. Not the usual sound for this band, but I like their new album.

    The band Boston's 1st album is awesome ot smoke to. Try some Thin Lizzy (the Jailbreak album is my fave), I love he band Everclear it's not emo but it displays alot of emotion in a heavy way, Jethro Tull awesome stuff go to the classics they'll always be good alot of new stuff will be forgotten in 5 years

    if its smoking you want, old Sublime cant be beat, songs off of 40oz to Freedom are good reggae ska punk stuff. Dont push, Let's Go Get Stoned, What Happened, New Song, and Rivers of Babylon are some of my favorites :)

    Ide also check Wicked Rebel by Slightly Stoopid.

    Also for smoking, Ide check out Gardenia, Green Machine, Apothecarie's Weight, and pretty much any other song By Kyuss off their first 3 albums.

    I dont smoke, but i can tell a good song for it wheni hear it :P
