Answer 10

Very Interesting !! A friend and I were just talking about this the other day LOL

Okay --

1. OPETH --

( I may be wrong, but they just seem to have a sound "all their own" - I could wrong... )

2. GENTLE GIANT --

( though unquestionably a Prog Band - one Site "GEPR" has the band's "Sub-Genre" listed as "Gentle Giant Music" LOL - and I totally agree !! )

3. MAGMA (from France) --

( originally invented ZEUHL, where they created their Own Language - but they may not Count - Now that more bands have been influenced and have become Zeuhl bands, themselves, like "Happy Family" from Japan )

4. KLAUS NOMI --

( listed as "Dark Cabaret" under "New Wave" - but I think he is a true original who has never been Truly duplicated )

EDIT --

5. TUBEWAY ARMY ( First 2 Albums ) --

( before Gary Numan went Solo - There was NO BAND that came close to this Sound - In Fact, one Journalist in Trouser Press, at the time - referred to them as "Cold Wave" because of their "cold sound and sterile, cybernetic lyrics." )

These Bands -- MAYBE --

Only because I think they started as True Originals --

The Cure

The B-52's (first album, only)

Flash and the Pan

Flying Lizards

EDIT 2 --

To those Answerers who mentioned --

RHCP & Radiohead - I TOTALLY Agree !!

Great choices - Both bands are completely distinct Originals !!

I would also add -- TOOL.

Enjoy!!

Answer 12

Radiohead

Answer 13

My Chemical Romance

b/c they are like nothing ive ever heard before.

cause a lot of emo or punk bands i listen kinda sound the same[as in their voices] but theirs is just sooooo different and cool

Answer 14

Alabama 3.

Answer 15

Red Hot Chili Peppers,I mean I love how they mix funk with rock and metal or alternative.

=)

Answer 16

Well, I'll never top Ostrich's answer....

Guess I'll throw out Hawkwind who combine Space Rock, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Trance, and Folk into something never heard before or since.

And about MCR yea, they're about as unique as dirt is.

Answer 17

Pink Floyd. Just listen to The Wall and you will understand why.

Answer 18

Apocalyptica. How many other fan-bases do you see head-bang to the effing CELLO!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 19

Disturbed

Answer 20

No Doubt because they are all over the place in what their music sounds like and their sound has changed a lot since their first album came out all the way up to the latest one.  

Answer 21

Rhapsody. Not many bands truly integrate classical into prog. rock/power metal type stuff and pull it off this well.

Answer 22

Definitely Radiohead and I think Queens of the Stone Age as well.

Answer 23

Beck. I know he's not a band, just a singer, but still. He's kinda hard to pin down to just one category.

...and I completely agree with RHCP too. :)
