Fun Stuff > BAND
So I feel like a total loser asking this, but...
Gryff:
I'd like to un-mention the Wallflowers, thus cancelling out any need to sample them. Unless you like AOR music by a band that would never have been signed if a certain someone didn't have a certain famous father. Listen to the dad instead.
Sorry to be negative, but if we're talking about expanding boundaries here, the Wallflowers are not the band to do it.

Kai, you have excellent taste in music.
Thread poster, some albums I've enjoyed recently:
Captain Beefheart - Lick My Decals Off, Baby: Even better than Trout Mask Replica, in my opinion. Less noisy, but with the Magic Band's best performances and some absolutely incredible composition. Out of print, but you can probably find it on Soulseek or the like.
Alec Empire & Merzbow - Alec Empire vs. Merzbow: The most intense live album I own. Probably Merzbow's least atonal record (disregarding the marginal Music for Bondage Performance series), thanks to Alec Empire's great, dirty hip-hop beats.
Diamanda Galas - Masque of the Red Death: Perhaps the most amazing voice in music. I bought this after hearing her on a John Zorn album (the Ennio Morricone tribute). She could be best described as an avantgarde Marilyn Manson, although she also has a knack for classical singing. She is a classically-trained with a four octave voice, by the way. I've never heard high notes sung so clearly.
Having gone on a post-holiday CD spree, I could go on for a while, but I'll cut myself off there.

I like any band that names an album after a story by my friend, Mr. Edgar Allen Poe. ;)

QFT. As much as I love Dylan (Oh so much), his son is fairly boring.
Go check out Oingo Boingo. They are the quintessential 80's New Wave fun band. Now laced with pedophilia! Because you can't have the 80's without it.

In that case, prog metal band Symphony X has a song based on The Pit and the Pendulum. It's called King of Terrors, and it's awesome.
The fiends of doom, they call my NAAAAME!
