Yes.  Riley is a minimalist, not a serialist.

Ut Gret's "Zodiac" is based in serialism, but not entirely.

And perhaps Terry Reilly, who made the sixties album A Rainbow In Curved Air. I can't think of anyone else offhand.

Best I know of is Sonic Youth, in their album of covers of avant garde orchestra pieces SYR4, doing versions of two of John Cage's Number Pieces: one version of Four and two takes on Six. How rock they turned out is debatable, but they are wonderful takes on the pieces.

As ought to be well known, serialism has been the dominant paradigm in academic avant-garde music for much of the 20th century.  However, I am not aware of any example in rock that uses such techniques.  Is there really no such thing as serialism in any branch of rock music, or do you know any?  (Not that I am much into serialism myself.  IMHO, the whole serialist business was a dead end, and resulted in mostly ugly and unintelligible music.)
