How about the Guano Apes (check um out), Creed, Sabbath, Purple, Budgie, Chicken Shack et al, Guess im just an old 70s rock fan when it comes down to it (sigh) those were the days and im not talking Mary Hopkins here ;D<br><br>Although the Guanos are fairly current, they are a German band i think.

Trust me and pick up Feed Me Weird Things.  Alot of people pass it off as a novelty record because it's so weird, but that's just him.  "Squarepusher Theme" and "Smedley's Melody" are his best tracks in my opinion.

Yeah, crazy song.  The shit I'm talking about is a different kind of weird though.  "Smedley's Melody"<br> is frantic upright bass noodling smothered in random drums.

hm. I don't mean the song but the entire album.<br><br>And Ill check out Feed Me Weird Things.
