Any good sound deadening materials besides 5/8 rock and insulation?

Why? Is the wife's TV bothering you? (j/k)
There are a variety of ways, varying in cost and complexity. A double layer of drywall helps, and they make deadening materials to sandwich in between. Another scheme is to 'de-couple' the wall, building an isolated second wall. Probably too late now, but this is often done with staggered studs, with the house drywall attached to one set, and the garage drywall attached to the other. A typical wall acts like a drum, transmitting vibration through the studs from one side to the other.

double walls offset with a bunch of rockwool or sound deadener. The air gap that does not allow either wall to touch each other, will do a lot. Depends on what you are trying to deaden and the frequency and volume and how close the wall is to the source of the noise.
