The fantastic Estradasphere featured CD coupled with The Mars Volta coming up on shuffle during my commute this morning, made me think of the wonderful musicians/bands that have pushed the boundaries of Rock the last couple of decades. So, yes, this is another list thread and here are the guidelines .....
My list is going to be bands that aren't primarily derivative of 70's Prog, also body of work is important, including robust discography and/or live performances.
This list is in no particular order -
Mr. Bungle and prodigy. Not only did Trey, Trevor and Mike seriously push boundaries, but they've continued a legacy of experimental exploration that transcends several bands worthy of this list, including - Secret Chiefs 3, Fantomas, Tomahawk, miRthkon, Estradasphere, Orange Tulip Conspiracy, Atomic Ape and more.
Toby Driver - maudlin of the Well, Kayo Dot
The Mars Volta
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Chrome Hoof
Ephel Duath I debated putting ED on the list as the foundation is clearly Black Metal. Experimentally they clearly fit the bill.
Who makes your list?
