Pretty much anything by Skillet, Cryoshell, and Shinedown. I'll go see if I can find any specifics... Edit: Here's some! Shinedown: 45 If You Only Knew Second Chance Through the Ghost Bully Unity I'll Follow You <Truly touching. Cryoshell: Murky Falling Creeping in My Soul Closer to the Truth (although I prefer the original versions of the last two ) I'll post some more later.

The musical stylings of the Aquabats, perhaps? Or the first three albums of Weezer, and ONLY those first three albums? Canadian hip-hop artist Shad fits all of your criteria, especially his latest album, TSOL. Stan Rogers or Great Big Sea or Gordon Lightfoot, if you're looking for something more folksy?
As I Lay Dying - "94 Hours" The Ghost Inside - "Between the Lines" Attack Attack! - "The Motivation" King Conquer - "Better Luck Next Time" Chelsea Grin - "Everlasting Sleep" We Came as Romans - "Mis///Understanding" A Day to Remember - 'Mr. Highway is Thinking About the End" The Offspring - "Self Esteem" LIGHTS - "Siberia" LIGHTS - "The Listening" The Ghost Inside - "Engine 45" Rise Against - "Make It Stop (September's Children)" That about does it.
Foxy Shazam - Unstoppable (Video) - YouTube Foxy Shazam does have swearing on their albums, albiet minor in the case of their self-titled album from 2010. Depends on if you consider "Life is a bitch" swearing.
Ella Fizgerald: "It had to be you" "That old black magic" Alanis Morissette's Jaged little Pill album. There's only swearing once, but it's there for the impact of what it's trying to convey. "I'll be seeing you" (most of the Rat Pack has done this at some point) Imagine by John Lennon Silly Love Songs by Paul McCartney Lady Love by Lou Rawls There's a lot more, I'll list later. I also second the KISS ALIVE post. And other than that, I don't recognize a single damned song listed in the rest of this thread.
