Anyone any age who is into breaking new ground with music.
I admire artists who create music through inspiration rather than bandwagon parrotism & simpleminded caveman's ambition. I also like any music that takes me somewhere out of my head, even if it's the spawn of some success-driven borg. In general I've found that any band with one word & then a few numbers for their name is usually pretty silly.....Baaaaad Charlotte!!.....Bleeaaaahhhhh!!!
Folks like Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, Meshuggah, Mars Volta, Imogen Heap, good old Mr. Bungle, Spock's Beard, Enon, Autolux, old Primus & other bands unafraid to do their own thing for the love of it really make me smile.
