Anyone know any artists that don't really sound like anyone else at all? Just interested in some different music for once! Im talking anything - just msuic that dosen't really sound like anything else :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Explosions In The Sky

 

 

 

Boards of Canada

 

 

 

Hybrid

Anathema - Prog. Doom Metal (Experimental Rock later)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Atheist - Jazz-Fusion Prog. Death Metal

 

 

 

Cynic - Jazz-Fusion Prog. Death Metal

 

 

 

Sleep Terror - Jazz-Fusion Prog. Death Metal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Necrophagist - Neoclassical Tech. Death Metal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jimi Hendrix - Psychedelic Rock

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ZZ Top - Blues/Rock Fusion

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All I can think of right now.

Ayreon - Arjan Lucassen writes all kinds of music and uses guest musicians to utilize them to their fullest on his albums.

TOOL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

there is noone else like them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rock/metal/progressive/instrumental(in some places)/awesome

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but seriously, they are very unique.

Guns N Roses?

 

 

 

Nobody sounds like them, but sense all of you hate mainstream music you'll deny it.

Bands with really recognizable vocalists, like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

I'm gonna see Explosions in the Sky upcomming january! :o

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OT> I always thought Sigur Ros had a pretty unique sound.

Hmm...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fintroll is pretty interesting. Mixture of folk and viking metal. Fun to listen to usualy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm going to go ahead and recomend Ildjarn as well, just because there really is nothing that sounds like it. No band to date that I have heard of has been able to replicate what he's done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Animus is a great choice as well. To be honest I can't even describe what it is... but its just well, amazing. To somewhat quote a review I read: "even if you got all of the same instruments, same location same time... you would not be able to recreate this".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Out of those three I'd recomend Animus the most, really changed my view on music.

pendulum unique style of drum and bass

 

 

 

prodigy are unique in my opinion as they are like a dance/electronic/punk style and it works

Michael Jackson, right now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No I'm only joking. Most of the posts here include metal/rock/blues/fusion etc. and Futurama asked for any unique music, so I'm going to say:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adeaze - samoan/NZ rnb, gospel, soul.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh hang on, then theres a guy who calls himself Zipso, a "rapper" from Suvai'i. He has a pretty unique (and catchy) sound. :

elvenking, and the aforementioned finntroll too!

Aphex Twin, The Mars Volta, Beck, Fantomas.

Mr Bungle :D I'm listening to 'Egg' right now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd also class Muse, Tool and David Bowie as being very unique, although all Bands are unique in some way.

Skindred - Metal/Reggae - a combination of genres I never thought I'd hear, but these guys pull it off in fantastic fashion.

Klaxons

 

 

 

radiohead (muse copied their style, but both are still unique)

 

 

 

the white stripes

 

 

 

marc bollan (/t.rex)

 

 

 

kraftwerk

 

 

 

massive attack

 

 

 

gorillaz

radiohead (muse copied their style, but both are still unique)

the klaxons are amazing, they use the same keyboards we used to have at high school :) hahah. skindred are amazin too, seen 'em live! that's the kinda stuff i wanna hear, bands with really unique styles :)

That's just what thom yorke said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They don't sound like each other at all, but muse is heavily influenced with radiohead, and that's what matthew bellamy said.

 

 

 

personally I think that they are completely different.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Gogol bordello is quite unique too

Turisas are pretty unique, as far as i know.

Lemon Jelly

I thought by unique you meant that nobody else sounded like them.

Rock is heavily influenced by blues music, that doesn't make Deep Purple similar to Leadbelly, and metal is heavily influenced by classical music, but that doesn't make Metallica similar to Mozart. Influence is much different to 'copying'.

If people didn't take influence from each other we'd probably all be sat wondering what the hell to do with a guitar except play the strings :)

 

 

 

I didn't wanna start a debate hahah, just get some pretty unique artists, even if they're not completely unique :)

 

 

 

thanks everyone for your posts :)

Nickelback and Creed have unique voices, I can pick either one out immediately. The Gorillaz also sound unique.

Yeah Nickelback is one of the few unique bands around these days. Gorillaza are just in a whole different league in uniqueness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Red Hot Chilli Peppers are unique also. I can tell if a song is one of their songs even if I haven't heard it just from the way their instruments sound.
