Add Buckethead?

I think that if anybody heard albums like Bucketheadland or Giant Robot
they would understand that Buckethead creates very progressive
music.  Highly experimental, conceptual, funky, fusion,
prog-metal, and most of all avant-garde.

At allmusic he's listed as:

Electronic/Avant-Garde/Minimalist Music

-Experimental Rock

-Fusion

-Experimental

-Funk Metal

-Guitar Virtuoso

-Heavy Metal

-Progressive Metal

-Instrumental Rock

-Prog-Rock/Art Rock

Nice lineup eh?

I know we've said we can't add John Zorn because he's jazz, but here we
have a guitar John Zorn who plays avant-prog-rock.  And those of
you who think he's just a shredder who played with Guns 'N Roses for a
while, think again.
