Jaga Jazzist is probably (dare I say) the best live-act around. And I've seen many, many artists in my life.

Other good recommendations:

Kaada
Motorpsycho
The Swans
Murder By Death
Butthole Surfers
Air
Dresden Dolls

Sigur Ros, I suggest that you pick up ágætis byrjun. It's simply beatiful.
My Morning Jacket
Mogwai

Get Neu!

hmmm



mahavishnu orchestra



and check out all the other releases on GYBE's label.


constellation records

(google it)

most of the releases are gybe core group - related, but feature other dudes and concepts and they're all amazing.

Dredg?

Well......
 

- Moby, he's like techno, but most of his music is unique and realaxing. Like the songs "Porcelain", "Beautiful", "Novio".

This thread is getting stale, and there's no way he's gonna check out all of these bands, but...

Bjork's [i]Medulla[/i] is an amazing, unique album. It's all vocals, and Rahzel, Mike Patton, and the dudes from Sigur Ros all make cameos.

DJ Shadow?

[QUOTE=joshmay]hmmm



mahavishnu orchestra[/QUOTE]

Whenever i bring up Mahavishnu Orchestra people alway says "i don't like orchestra music":rolleyes:

[QUOTE=That_Dude]Whenever i bring up Mahavishnu Orchestra people alway says "i don't like orchestra music":rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

And whenever I bring up the Allman Brothers Band people always say, "All those Euphoniums and piccolos get on my nerves."

Check out Sigur Ros, as someone mentioned above, it is excellent music. Also see if you can check out Gong, great psychedelic/progressive rock music.

New and unique music eh?

The only unique band around at the moment is The Gorrilaz, you can argue with me but it's true.


I'll just reel off some artists who you may not have heard of, and may enjoy.


Therapy? - A Punk / Rock / Metal outfit from Ireland.
Dexy's Midnight Runners - A pop Ska band from Britain, you may have heard Come On Eilleen.
John Cooper Clarke - A poet from Manchester, England, who uses many swearwords, to music to create a great style.
Big Black - An Alt. Punk band, who do a cool Kraftwerk cover.
Grooverider - Music from outer space, drum and bass, of course.
Talking Heads - An interesting post punk band.

That is [i]so[/i] stupid.

[QUOTE=AndreTheHyena]That is [i]so[/i] stupid.[/QUOTE]
Haha.

OK, so name another band who:

Manages to use Hip Hop, Electronica, Punk, Rock influences,
Can create pop-songs, which are in the charts now.


You see, you're blocked in. You look stupid, and my aim is complete. :)

But you said they were the [i]only[/i] unique band around now, which is not true.


Another band that might not have been mentioned yet is the Microphones.

Yeah, I apologise, I realise that comment was really stupid and stuff.

Apologies :).

well depending on what type of music your into, i'll reccomend the blood brothers. theyre definately unique, and a great listen if your into harder music.

What does being in the charts have to do with anything? That elminates any possible rebuttal, so yes, I'm blocked in, while you just look like an awful jackass.

Your standards are too narrow for someone who wants to broaden their horizons.

I feel like listing some albums.. -

Isis - Panopticon
Agalloch - Pale Folklore and the Mantle

that was some.

I like your taste. I'm a huge fan of Isis and Agalloch.

I dont think anyone has mentioned Neurosis yet. They are fantastic, get any of their albums.

I also agree with others that you may like Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, and Isis.

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band is some pretty original and musically different stuff, Trout Mask Replica is probably his best work.

If your talking about popular bands, [I]maybe[/I].

IAJP, ever heard of Deerhoof?

I second the Kayo Dot suggestion, assuming you don't mind some heaviness here and there.
