You pick the genre you like and then you name the 5 most important bands of that movement, right?

Ok...I pick Heavy metal

Led Zeppelin

Black Sabbath

Deep Purple

Iron Maiden

Metallica

(in no particular order...though Zeppe and Sabbath might be number one...)

       Acousmatic / Electroacoustic:

 

                    Robert Normandeau

                    John Oswald

                     Gilles Gobiel

                    Jonty Harrison

                    Francis Dhomont

 

         this style of music is what would have been called "Electronic Music", had that term not been usurped by modern electronic dance music practitioners.  Avant-Garde is another term one might use.  The sound quality and stereo effects in this music is the absolute BEST I've heard...  Several of these guys are former prog musicians, and I count myself among them.  To me, this music is a natural outgrowth of prog, because of the way the composers orchestrate their sounds, and incorporate prog concepts into their sometimes bizarre works.  Check out www.electrocd.com

It was fun.  I actually like Mandy Moore the others were just names from soundtracks I have, that weren't too crappy.  And I didn't think anyone else would go after that genre. 
Of those bands/artists listed Switchfoot is the crapiest, I even saw them live once because my friends like them .
