He's got his little traps and his foibles and his insular references (most good guitar rock bands wanna be the Voidoids you know) and any artist that has ever personally criticized him is honored with As to A-s for life, but he's a sixtysomething who says sharp, insightful, atypical stuff about music by twentysomethings. That's outstanding.

Hard for me to do because I find it hard to objectively rank favorite bands cross genre. but I'll try...
Immolation
Death metal, but this act is one where, upon releasing a new album, I'm buying it on day one.
They have a very unique style, they aren't about balls to the wall riffing, but they create a very bleak atmosphere by creatively using dissonance, odd harmonics, and layers.
Certainly, they've stuck to their niche their entire career, but why not if you're good at it?
Pain of Salvation
The second act coulda been really one of 234, but this group has always managed to write music that is both challenging, emotionally engaging, and memorable at the same time.
Unfortunately, listening to The Perfect Element too much has burnt me out almost permanently on the album.

Mordy, I've never read Attali but Mark Sinker has, and Mark's also read me and Lester Bangs and Richard Meltzer and he's listened to Xenakis and watched Xena: Warrior Princess and seen Daphne & Celeste on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. You can and should see what Mark says about all of us and all of these here:
The Rise And Sprawl Of Horrible Noise Part One
The Rise And Sprawl Of Horrible Noise Part Two
In any event, does Attali have any particular ideas that you think we can use here?
