Influences
Eels the Band
The Eels are uncategorizable. Their style varies depending on which album you are talking about. Their music always has a melodic quality to it but includes folk, country, heavy rock, even electronic.
Wilco
Experimental yet melodic and folksy, Wilco makes music that takes you to unexpected places while still keeping you firmly grounded in beautiful melody.
Modest Mouse
Modest Mouse are more easily categorizable than the others. This is what I would call experimental rock - rock with an edge - influenced by groups like Pavement.
Mark Lanegan
Mark Lanegan hails from The Screaming Trees - that 'alt rock' band from the 90's that failed to rise to the heights of their contemporaries like Nirvana or Sound Garden. That's ok by me since that probably lead to the group's demise and the rise of Mark Lanegan's solo career and involvement with Queens of The Stone Age. Mark has the best baritone vocal in rock & roll that I have ever heard. His solo music is extremely moody.
The Flaming Lips
Perhaps one of the wierdest bands to ever achieve major commercial success. They started life as a punk band that could barely play their instruments. Somewhere along the line Steve Drozd joined, a multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire, and they started penning lyrically, musically, and vocally brilliant music. Check out Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi Versus the Robots, and (my personal favorite) At War With the Mystics.
Ween
Pop with humour. Ween have dipped their toes into country, rock, and straight up pop. Their lyrics verge on the absurd and some of their music (especially the early albums) is near unlistenable
