Parker, Gillespie, Monk. Cecil Taylor.

There's plenty of examples of artists who were like all of the ones posted in here. So I'm not sure what you're wanting.

>King Crimson
really? they seem like super straightforward mass appeal version of what was happening with prog/

>>55428397
Death Grips

seriously.

The Kinks?

>>55429039
Artists with unique styles.

>>55429069
Have you even heard In The Court or Larks?
They are even the most experimental of the Symphonic Prog bands.

>>55429093
really?

Masayuki Takayanagi, Derek Bailey.

>>55428397
>King Crimson
The fuck are you smoking? Prog bands where everywhere in the 70s, and a natural progression from psychedelic, so it wasn't even out of place when their debut was released.

>radiohead
Early period was just inspired by major 80s alternative bands, later is mostly just Aphex Twin and Can influenced.

>>55428597
>My Bloody Valentine?
Had several contemporaries like Ride, Loop, Cocteau Twins and Chapterhouse doing the same thing. The noisey aspect wasn't even close to out there in comparison to no wave and noise rock.

Merzbow was in the '80s and '90s. These days he's just been sounding the same.

In The Court sounds nothing like stuff released before it.

>>55429251
As for MBV, yeah, I don't really know, that's why the "?" is there.

i mean sure post-punk was around before but the whole depressing and bleak attitude wasn't

>>55429283
>the pop group
They're not that far of from other experimental post-punk bands like This Heat, Pere Ubu and Mass. I mean, really, they could even be described as a grittier Talking Heads.

>In The Court sounds nothing like stuff released before it.
Pink Floyd made A Saucerful of Secrets one year earlier. It's not that far off.

Frank Zappa

21st Century Schizoid Man
Also, let's not forget about Larks.

>>55429343
their cut-up technique is what defines their uniqueness for me

>>55429411
>21st Century Schizoid Man
That's arguably the most normal song on the album. Closest to being a straight rock song.

>>55429469
Go listen to the album again.

>>55428397
Long Fin Killie
Suicide
Rites of Spring
Even if you hate them, you gotta admit Liturgy is pretty unique.

>>55429488
What's so far out there about 21st Century Schizoid Man? I mean, this is the album that has ten minutes of extremely minimalistic improv.

Kraftwerk
James Brown

The Monks

>>55429530
It's an instrumental madness of distorted saxophones and vocals, heavy metal riffs, improvisations in free time, odd time signatures, start-stop rhythms, it even comes close to Noise Rock.
Moonchild is also pretty unique for the time.

>>55429505
>Long Fin Killie
Most first wave post-rock bands could probably be listed in this thread.

>>55429251
Give me a band that sounded like MBV before 1991.

>protip: none of the bands you listed sound like them

>>55429614
They do, it's just that My Bloody Valentine used more noise, which really wasn't that unthinkable seeing as the genre originated in noise pop. Even Sonic Youth broke through before this, and they were way more noisey.

Too much Ruins, but very cool.

>they applicated more noise
wrong. They worked textures like no other, took the whispered vocals drenched in reverb to the extreme, and worked with the noise/melody dicotomy like no other at the time.

>sy are noisier
lmao

>>55430360
>like no other
Except their contemporaries.

Battles
Vladislav Delay


1st is a minimal post-rock band whose interplay attempts a chamber music style. Very live/rock feeling despite the looping and textures being electronic. Important is the childish but experimental spirit, that's why they are sometimes compared to the psychedelic Animal Collective.

2nd is a electronic producer who reminds me a lot of Wagner's 'infinite melody' being applied to glitch, over the background of modal jazz being applied to ambient music. Also really pretty sounding a la impressionism and wagner. And then there's this really futuristic (Ghost in Shell) vibe about the end product. Oh and it has that same juxtaposition of live/studio that Battles has except this time it's more like the studio simulating an organic drummer instead of a band being electronically augmented.

pls respond

Would be delighted if you can find similar.
