Hmmmm, maybe. I always thought of bands like Tool, hed pe, and Deftones as pioneers, but I'm not a music buff by any means. I used to be into Ministry, NIN, and KMFDM, but I lost interest. (Although I get very nostalgic when I throw on Pretty Hate Machine or Downward Spiral).
To be honest, the only KoRn album I like is KoRn. It's been played out for years, but songs like Ball-Tongue sound so amazing on a good system. Tool is the most amazing live band I've ever seen by a lot...but I'm not as into Aenima and their newer album. A Pefect Circle did a really good job at coverin the Beatle's Imagine though. I have the music video and it's pretty cool.
I'll have to check out MBV and Front 242. I hadn't heard of them.
I'm not a fanboy for any of the bands I listed (except maybe Tool and deftones), but I was just trying to give Libila an idea what I meant by hard rock. To be honest, I haven't heard any new hard rock that I like for a long time. The ones I listed are just the ones that I'll still listen to sometimes. Mudvein is new, but since I saw them perform on Konan, I'm less of a fan. They looked fresh out of Hot Topic.
Even System of a Down sucks now.
Nowadays, I listen to mostly Electronica: Dara, AK 1200, Cari Lekebusch, Baby Ann, Terri Mullan, James Lavelle, Ellen Ferrato, DJ Rap, to name a few of my favorites.
I also like Radiohead, Coldplay, Janes Addiction, and Modest Mouse (as mentioned before).
In the past I've been a huge fan of Primus, Del the funky homosapien (Hieroglyphics), Mr. Bungle, Nuclear Rabbit, Pharcyde, Spearhead, Sublime (who I still love, but obviously they won't be coming out with any new albums with Brad Nowell singing
), Rage (remember when they first came out? They were sick!), Nirvana (Kurt Kobane (sp?) is who inspired me to grow my hair long in Juinior High.
I finally cut it all off a couple years ago, but I still recycle and stuff.
), Pink Floyd (talk about pioneers! They're shit is amazing), Beastie Boys (they get old but still put on a good show), and Eminem (Yes I even liked 8 mile).
I still like most of the above bands, but they're new shit either sux or they have broken up and I've gotten tired of they're old albums.
