My share of experime(n)tal music and other innovative stuff


I wanted to create my personal Top List for a long time and to be honest, I always considered it as some kind of cool Prog Metal, Avantgarde Metal mix. As you can see, it has become a bit more complicated. So finally, there are Unexpect and Pain Of Salvation next to Bands like Kamelot and Savatage. Also, some Non-Metal Bands got involved like Jeff Buckley and Oingo Boingo. But could you imagine how PoS would sound without Jeffs influence? Or what would have become of Mr. Bungle if it weren't for Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo?!

This list is over shaded behind the most popular list of MS. Both are really good ones and I think that this can also be used as a handbook for prog metal and related genres. Very well chosen albums here

Giving my ears a rest from music.
