What bands/artists should I try listening to?

So I like Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, Coldplay, and Train. I'm looking to broaden my music taste, so, could you suggest some bands/artists for me?

I tend to like "Alternative" music. I don't really like country or punk rock. I know I'm a Taylor Swift fan, but I don't like "bubblegum pop". NO JUSTIN BIEBER OR ONE DIRECTION SUGGESTIONS PLEASE.

Thanksssssss<3

Update:

Also, I'm not really a fan of rap... But thanks for the suggestions :)

Update 2:

Oh yeah, and I love One Republic. :3

    If your into alternative music maybe you should check out Breathe Carolina (not really sure if there are your taste) or Fun. Alex Clare or Mariana's Trench. One Republic is sort of similar to Coldplay. The Cab is also a cool band. So that's a lot of new stuff to try! My taste is pretty broad, but I don't like bubble gum pop either (makes me wanna puke :P).

    Source(s): Listen to lots of music!

    Hey Ninja!

    The best way to broaden your music taste is to start listening to undiscovered bands. Small bands, indie bands, small label bands, anything but mainstream. You'll really start to appreciate all the great music out there.

    I started a Facebook page for people to share and discover new Alt Rock music!

    http://www.facebook.com/pages/Discover-IndieAlt-Ro...

    Like it and listen to some of the songs :) You'll probably like them all.
