Greatest Experimental Rock Music

[Kouler]

My vote goes to Nine Inch Nails and Tool, as well as Opeth. These 3 bands have the most unique styles of rock/metal and are a very good listen. Any others to add to the list?

 

[-Psy-]

Dream Theater.

 

[Kouler]

Dream Theater is awesome too, but i wouldnt call them experimental, but more of an extreme prog

 

[Space Farm]

Mr. Bungle?

 

[Markdude]

Radiohead, of course.

 

[brink's]

The Berlin Trilogy by David Bowie and Brian Eno, Low is the single greatest experimental album ever made.

 

[Barney_Calhoun]

NIN + Sigur Rós

 

[Cerpin]

While Tool has a sound of their own, all the songs sound the same. I guess it's a tradeoff.

Opeth is one of my top bands, they're amazing.

 

[Qonfused]

NIN, Mogwai, among others.

 

[Zephos]

Radiohead, of course.

I second that.

 

[Stigmata]

NIN and Radiohead, pretty much.

 

[Aenama]

Tool

NiN...that guy doesn't even sing,he talks o.0

 

[Kouler]

While Tool has a sound of their own, all the songs sound the same. I guess it's a tradeoff.

A lot of the songs sound the same, but there are many songs that are recognizable ie Lateralus, Vicarious, Pushit, Eulogy, No Quarter, Intolerance, Parabol(a) etc etc

 

[knut]

Mr. Bungle, definatly.

 

[Pressure]

Mr. Bungle?

Might as well go for Dog Fashion Disco too if you're gonna do Mr. Bungle. The Adultery CD by DFD is just simply amazing.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Anything could be classified as experimental.

 

[Aenama]

except most Pop Musik these days...Paris Hilton..and all that kinda stuff

 

[Kouler]

Experimental i'd say is something that has a unique sound, an unmistakable sound.

Thanks for the recommendation, haven't heard of them before. They sound quite similar to Bungle after listening to Amazon.com samples. I just ordered it.

 

[repiV]

Clearly Radiohead.

 

[noldevin]

I'm going to have to add another vote to tool. Unless its a ripoff *cough*doom3themesong=lateralus/eulogy*cough* there just isnt anything that sounds like it. The fact that they have a relatively large audience with no publicity is proof

 

[Qhartb]

Gentle Giant. No question.
