I should add Arion Salazar is a big chunk of their original sound too. The No Guitar Is Safe podcast with Kev is great at explaining his tunings and playing style.
My head said brake, but my heart cried never.
They've been my favourite band since my brother started playing the new debut album from a little family band in Tennessee on iTunes as loud as the computer could handle it so he could listen in the shower in the next room.
It wasn't until I just googled, I found out this was 14 years ago, so I'd have been 8 or 9.
While I've thought some of their albums aren't as good as others, even the shittest ones (Mechanical Bull) have 3 or 4 good songs on them.

Its worth looking up 'Classics', which are re-recordings of a lot of stuff with later line ups, the hidden last track is 'Blown' which is one of my favourites.
Another great modern one is 'Chinese Democracy' later renamed 'Destroy the War Machine', Kory beat Axl to the name, but had to change it. That is a great modern sounding rock record, check out '4th Reich' for a good video too.

I'm listening to Disorder now and it's really not grabbing me at all
Still can't help but think it's Jenkins cashing in on the state of things at the mo too.

Others include:
What made them really special to me was the music that Dave and Reg wrote. Once Mark had learnt to play guitar and was writing more of the music, something of that magic was lost, IMO.
If there's a better debut LP than Script, I haven't heard it.
I said maybe.....
The Police.
Beatles.
RATM.
And more recently... Lamb Of God.
Doobie Brothers - Southern Rock at it's finest
Level 42 - perfectly in sync with their era and very musical
Earth Wind and Fire - Funk /Soul at it's best
Dream Theater
Counting Crows
King's X
Radiohead
