Flyleaf, The Haunted, Lamb of God (their good albums; As The Palaces Burn and New American Gospel. Can't say after that because I stopped listening), Deftones on the Around the Fur album, Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Volbeat, and some Ratt songs (such as my favorite, "Lay it Down").

That's all I can pull of the top of my head.

"Ashes Of The Wake" by LoG is also in Drop-D.

Trivium also has a lot of songs in Drop-D (Ascendancy)

Death is in D standard, should be farily easy to convert. Enough riffs and songs to learn, and there's good tabs for pretty much all of them.

Doesn't Decrepit Birth tune to D as well?
