Originally posted by Fox On The Rocks Secret Chiefs 3? A weird bunch they are, combining a lot of obscure genres not commonly found in rock music - Surf Rock, I think is in there, Balkan music too, I think?

I saw them live once, opening for Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. They were pretty cool.

I admire SC3 but I don't really like to listen to them

Rush: Heavy rock, metal, heavy prog, progressive metal, alternative rock, reggae, new wave, pop rock, grunge, African music, classical, kelzmer (I think), rap, funk, jazz

I dunno - I don't EVER remember hearing any 'surf' music from maudlin of the Well.

While not a band, David Byrne has dabbled in pretty much everything. So much so that I haven't been adventurous enough to follow all his excursions into Brazilian folk music or whatever. 

Originally posted by Ambient Hurricanes I think Peter Gabriel would qualify for this list, although I won't attempt to make a list of genres as I'm not all that familiar with his catalog.

Originally posted by Alitare Beatles - heavy metal, proto-punk, hard rock, blues, folk, psychedelic rock, progressive, ambient, reggae, pop, britpop, avant-garde, jazz, vaudeville, baroque pop, ragtime, show-tunes, symphonic rock, rockabilly, country, motown/soul, garage rock, acid, art-rock, skiffle, world music, children's songs, lullabies, gospel, etc.

Clivage listed here under Indo prog. Whereas most of the listed acts here play a lot of different styles, when you finally sit down and listen to them it is not that out there and preposterous. Most of the time, the genres seem to go hand in hand even with a band like SC3, but with Clivage you get Indian music mixed together with zeuhl and Shaft funk plus a whole variety of other strange spices. I heartily recommend Mixtus Orbis
