Before we get started, list some bands you listen to first. That way I'll know whether or not to take you seriously. Sorry if that sounds super elitist but I've been listening to Vkei on and off for a really long time so that kind of thing has to come first before any real discussion starts.

I listen to quite a bit of that actually. Malice Mizer was the first band I got into, closely followed by Dir en Grey, Gackt and Miyavi. I eventually went off all of that and started listening to a lot of Gazette, D'espairsRay, An Cafe and some others.

Then I kinda started finding the whole visual thing to be really stupid, and I got sick of hearing Ruki's whiny voice, and suddenly found An Cafe to be more of a child's type of rock music and got sick of them too. (Obviously grew up. xD) And for a while I only listened to D'espairsRay, but then I got into some other bands like Mucc and Girugamesh, and then I went off D'espairsRay because for a while they stopped making good music.

I've recently gone back into listening to Miyavi. Since he stopped making "typical" J-Rock, I really started to appreciate him more as a musician. I still listen to Girugamesh, although I prefer their older stuff from 13 Reborn, and Girugamesh albums. I haven't been so keen on Mucc's latest album, but I love how varied they've been with their music. I also listen to a lot of Kagerou, The Studs, and Deadman.

I know they're not J-Rock except Sadie but I've just started listening and I assure you I'm really enjoying it. I'll be sure to check out some of them from shyguysteve's list though.

i listen to what is more specified as J-Metal, but i listen to the bands involved with visual kei and j-rock,

songs like filth in the beauty and discharge by theGazette

everything from Dir en Grey after Marrow of a bone album

everything from since 1889 and the early works from girugamesh.

ayabies album virgin snow color was the only album and songs i liked from them before they disbanded and regrouped.

i also like all of unsraws work.

i like sid some of their singles are pretty good.

and the work nightmare did for death note.

I figure some people would know about visual kei as some bands preform the music for animes.

some songs like...
