what bands do you think are truly different from the rest? bands that have actually put in effort into their music (not garbage noise bands) and have a distinctive style that can't be compared?

Death Grips is always the answer.
Elijah King
The Go! Team even though a lot of their songs aren't very good.
Obvious choices: Beck, Ween, King Missile Sonic Youth, Secret Chiefs 3, Naked City, maybe Fiona Apple
Justin Scott
>I'm interested in unique music
>But NOT music from outside my comfort zone
Really jogs the ol' nog.
Ryan Jones
I just want people to not post meme answers
Jaxson Flores
That's fair enough.
This Heat comes to mind. I think Deceit is still an extremely singular album and a must-listen.
youtube.com
Easton Perry
Animal collective obviously
Colton Hill
Kyuss, in my opinion
Alexander Perry
Xiu Xiu
Deerhoof
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (at least some records)
Eli Jenkins
Maudlin of the Well will destroy you and redeem you upon a plane of being that you couldn't try to understand. Listen.
Jacob Miller
The Books
I've just started on "Bath" and I'm really liking it. Thank you, user.
Aaron Nelson
AMM, Spontaneous Music Ensemble, Magma, The Pop Group, John Zorn, Sun City Girls.
I would recommend starting with AMM's debut AMMMusic.
Jaxson Robinson
Forgot to add Scott Walker - Tilt, The Drift, Bish Bosch.
Charles Walker
The Pop Group
Dominic Ross
...
Thomas Bennett
There's just nothing like Listener out there, and Volbeat's kinda unique but that's mostly the accent and random Dutch in the songs
Hunter Parker
boredoms
Kayden Jackson
As much as some people will give them shit, I still say that Radiohead have some of the most unique music in the alternative rock scene. Every album, save for Pablo Honey, has something about it that's truly unique, and they're all great albums.
Even The King Of Limbs, their weakest work, is insanely creative and interesting.
Ryan Kelly
TENTENKO
William Green
You said "not garbage noise bands", but how about noise rock?
Lightning Bolt's pretty fucking unique, and their music generally isn't wall-of-sound noise.
youtube.com
Isaac King
Cocteau twins had a very unique sound for their time
Samuel Jenkins
its still unique desu
Blake Scott
This, for sure. I still haven't found an album that sounds anything like Heaven Or Las Vegas, and that's their MOST accessible album. Their less accessible stuff is crazy unique and awesome.
Leo Thomas
nah dude their most accessible (least unique) is FFC
Lucas Bell
I haven't listened to that one yet, actually. Okay, rephrasing it, HOLV is their most accessible of their albums prior to FFC.
Hunter Martin
Tru. You're not missing out on much with FFC though. M&K is way better -- Serpentskirt shits on almost everything on FFC.
Jeremiah Jackson
probably tylo be chillin
Julian Torres
also AMM released a really nice live album called "before driving to the chapel..."
Matthew Perez
I haven't listened to it yet, but AMMMusic is surprisingly accessible.
Oliver Lee
>I haven't listened to it yet
...how do you know it's surprisingly accessible, then

youtube.com
What i would consider unique bands.
Jeremiah Nelson
I meant the live album Before Driving to the Chapel. Have you listened to Supersilent? There's another recommendation for the OP.
Asher Sanchez
WELL I KNOW WHAT I'M LISTENING TO TOMORROW!
Thanks for all the links, man!
I actually HAVE listened to Melt Banana before, their album Cell-Scape is fucking great.
Dominic Flores
You could make a valid argument for them honestly.
Leo Wilson
They're considered one of the best and most influential bands for a reason. I mean A Moon Shaped Pool. That album is fucked incredible. How do they keep doing it?
Cooper Williams
Kishi Bashi has many familiar elements, but I think the combination of them as a whole is very distinctive and singular.
Hence why he is my favourite artist.
Robert Ross
Exactly, it's crazy how they've stayed so consistently good in two decades.
Gabriel Jones
I think Do Make Say Thing is pretty unique.
Carson Anderson
3 decades bro.
Jason Russell
Shit, yeah, you're right, since they started in 1985 as On A Friday.
Aiden Morris
Good contribution, I like a lot of this
a couple bands I have a difficult time comparing to others,
Natsumen - a self described "Japanese Progressive HardCore JAZZ Aggressive Improvisation ROCK band"
youtube.com
VUVR - a czech band that blends progressive deathmetal and jazz fusion in a truly unique fashion. beautiful music. 2nd favorite album of all time
youtube.com
Disciplina Kicme - Serbian 80s post punk power duo. raw and powerful fuzzbass and drums action. pretty experimental at times, straightforward and punky at others.
youtube.com
bleach - female japanese thrashcore with slap bass sometimes
youtube.com
I would add more but I have to go
Cameron Brown
Throbbing Gristle, Residents, Sun City Girls, Slint, Ween, Suicide, Gerogerigegege.. I could go on
Easton Sanchez
I can't find another album that even sounds close to this. Take the swirling guitar textures and wall of sound aesthetic from shoegaze, and instead of using guitars, do it to synthesizers. And then they distort the hell out of the synths, so sometimes they sound like guitars, sometimes the guitars sound like sawtooths from a synth, sometimes real strings, sometimes synth strings, to the point to where you can't tell what's what anymore.
It's also pretty much just vibes and atmosphere the entire way through.
Such a unique, beautiful album.
Jeremiah Turner
dis a good thread keep it goin
Cooper Green
I've never found a single band similar to Lightning Bolt, most people say Hella but they arent even similar
