Most rock guitarists play half a step down.

Try tuning it one fret lower so it's d sharp instead of E . Many bands tune a bit lower to match the singer's voice. Thats why it is sometimes hard to suss out when you listen to recordings.
Drop the top e string 2 frets to provide that interesting "drop d" sound. Very popular.
If anybody suggests a thing called "dadgad", don't go there. It's WELL gay.

It just depends what kind of sound you are looking for. If you like heavier music Drop-D is a good tuning and most heavy metal bands use this tuning.

their tuned to electric guitar....and you can just change the tune to however you want your band to sound like because no band sounds the same.

it doesn't matter as long as wach instrument is tuned to each other. Why don't you come up with your own idea? Slipknot tuen their basses a lot lower to get a different sound, why don't you do something similar?

B Flat for Big Bands
Not only is the accepted key it is the only key that sounds right for that music.
D flat is good for dramatic Classical.
Have you ever listened to Charlie Bird?
Fantastic, but I guess he is where we all go in the end.

Apparently Keith Richards only plays with 5 strings, so my luthier boyfriend tells me!
