The Bad Plus
I can't describe these guys. They're just... different. Their music is like nothing I've ever heard, mainly because all of their music doesn't go where you expect it to.

I particularly like Anthem for the Earnest (this is by no means the best rendition). I like it mainly because it has an interesting tune that really wiggles deep into your brain, and it's also played in some odd time (7 over 4 time, I believe).

Galactic
Jazz. Lots of smooth jazz. Jazz without random seismic saxophone tunes which are comparable to a musical fart.

I first heard of Galactic when I heard of a song called Tang the Hump (this only works in the US, but it was the only one I can find...). This was written by the drummer of Galactic. I can't find any online versions of Galactic's songs, so I'll leave you to look for them.

Then you can decide for yourself. They're... kind of... well, y'know. Different.

Tough as always, to name ones favorite bands, but here are some of mine:

Gerardo Nunez: True Flamenco genius, the most technical player by far, and way better than Jesse Cook on every level.

They Might Be Giants: You might be recognizing them from the theme song from Malcolm In the Middle, or their contributions to Homestar Runner. These guys defy classification, but are nonetheless one of the catchiest duos in music.

The Beatles: 'Nuff said.

Flight of the concords: If you like Tenacious D, or just need a good laugh, go to YouTube and look for their song Business Time.

Beck: Wrapping up Ban's List of Eclectic Music is the man himself, Beck.

Yeah, it does. I'm proud to say that I give every genre a chance, with the exception of country music.

If you're a fan of electronica, check out First State.

Well I mostly listen to Hardstyle really, aswell as I listen to Dance. There's just something about a nice beat that comforts me.
