Experimental

The term experimental music refers to the creative process that the artist goes through to create a variety of unique sounds that when mixed together create a whole new experience in music. The process of “experimentation” is just as important as the outcome. “Experimental” music could be called more of an experience as it is not made to be distributed in the main stream but rather to give you an insight of the artists’ complex minds.

Radiohead experimental!? lol! The are generic as it gets. It really show how the mainstream music fans lives in a closet and know nothing of music history. Radiohead is experimental for the mainstream, but they aren't really doing anything new, and what they are doing has already been tapped into, so they are not experimenting, they are using something that was already there. At least Throbbing Gristle was doing something new for the time and experimented with a new sound, and I think they still sound good today. Mars Volta deserves to be up there more then Radiohead and that is even be a joke.

Now, how exactly is Radiohead experimental? I could give a bunch of mostly vague reasons why they should be characterized as such (they use electronics for different reasons, they use instruments besides the guitar, they're inspired by krautrock and stuff, they sound different from the bands that are usually associated with them), but everyone knows that's bullshit no matter what band it's applied to, so I say Radiohead is experimental for one reason: they sound weirder than Nickelback. In fact, I propose that comparison (weirdness relative to Nickelback) as a universal litmus test for whether a band is "experimental" or not. Are they weirder than Nickelback? Yes? Then they're experimental. No? Then they're not experimental, unless they're purposefully being less weird than Nickelback in some kind of contrarian artistic gesture, in which case they're ####ing geniuses.

The thing about Throbbing Gristle is they were amazing for their time, but not for any other. Sure, they were innovative and every industrial and post-industrial act since then has drawn from them, but Throbbing Gristle itself is EXTREMELY BORING. Every aspect of their sound has been improved upon by someone else. Proto-dark ambient Throbbing Gristle? Lustmord is much more frightening. Shitty synthpop Throbbing Gristle? Coil has better lyrics, more interesting production, and a better singer. Pseudo-musique concrete Throbbing Gristle? You're wasting your time, go listen to Nurse With Wound. There is no reason you should be listening to Throbbing Gristle over these other guys, or at all, unless you're some kind of music historian.

"Listen to Throbbing Gristle and come tell me that Radiohead is experimental" Pfffffffffft, SPK and Coil are way better than those pretentious fucks. Go listen to Can and Moondog.
