I'm interested in discussion about music of almost any kind, but my passion is out-there stuff. Examples: Jazz: Cecil Taylor, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Anthony Braxton. Classical: Xenakis, Panderecki, Ligeti. Get the idea? Also: Einsturzende Neubauten, Husker Du, Radiohead, hardcore and punk bands from the 80's and 90's like Naked Raygun, The Replacements, Meat Puppets, and, in general, anything that most people would find obnoxious/annoying with little or no commercial potential. Oh yeah, Zappa too.

If you can catch TRBC08 on-line, he likes some fairly avant garde stuff.
BTW, Husker Du, Radiohead, & Meat Puppets have all made plenty of music that I wouldn't classify as in any way extreme...

You're hoping to do all that in this thread? That is pretty open-ended.

Different strokes and all that but I have never understood why someone would only like anything that most people would find obnoxious/annoying.

What would you consider extreme? Hit me with something good

well, that's not ALL that I like (I have very wide-ranging tastes) but have trouble finding people who want to talk about, say Mauricio Kagel's "Der Schall" or Einsturzende Neubauten. I'm new to this site so any help navigating is welcome. Thanks

What WOULD you consider extreme? I'm open to suggestion.

Good point -- I'm new to this site so will learn to narrow focus
