With dates opening for the Pixies and a fan in David Bowie, TV on the Radio's popularity outgrew their indie label, and in the summer of '06 they issued Return to Cookie Mountain on Interscope (featuring back up vocals from Bowie), which nabbed top spots on a number of year-end lists for 2006.

They were gradually transforming bouts of alternate tuning overkill into tightly crafted song. Daydream Nation (1988) remains their pinnacle achievement, a thematically coherent pastiche of Gen-X cynicism, sonic tube disasters and surreal guitar passages that chime like harps in a hailstorm. The work of Sonic Youth is all the more remarkable for being almost entirely self-produced and truly collaborative in origin. Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon and Lee Ranaldo all lend a hand in writing and singing, which sometimes produces the jarring effect of listening to three different bands on the same album. - Chad Driscoll]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14791&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Metal Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:23:07 -0800 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.14791 art.14791 Mindless Self Indulgence art.14791 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14791&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14791&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44218&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Indie/Alternative Sun, 27 Sep 2009 09:55:58 -0700 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.44218 art.44218 ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead art.44218 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44218&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44218&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5856&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Indie/Alternative Tue, 16 Jun 2009 09:18:45 -0700 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5856 art.5856 Blonde Redhead art.5856 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5856&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5856&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Fake Can be Just as Good.

The New York City native's most identifiable trademarks are his bloodied, high pitch-dwelling alto saxophone playing and, as a composer, his use of rapid, jarring juxtapositions -- in mood, volume, genre, and/or instrumentation. Both qualities featured heavily in his late '80s/early '90s supergroup Naked City, a sort of rock band summation of his work since the late '70s and one of his two most popular projects. The other, his Jewish-jazz quartet Masada, is relatively traditional, featuring Klezmer and Middle Eastern-flavored melodies in an energetic, Post Bop-to-Free Jazz context. Marking a new phase of his career, Zorn has been devoting attention to his classical material, and in doing so ensuring that his listeners will consistently remain on their toes. - Will York]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7420604&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Modern Pop Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:11:25 -0700 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7420604 art.7420604 Gang Gang Dance art.7420604 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7420604&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7420604&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss God's Money in 2005.

Pranzo Oltranzista (1997) was inspired by the Italian Futurist Cookbook, and alternates sections of eerie suspense with jarring noise outbursts; it supports the Futurist credo that "art, in fact, can be nothing but violence, cruelty, and injustice." Relatively more conventional are his contributions to the Tzadik label's Great Jewish Music tribute series, highlighted by his spastic, over-the-top version of T-Rex's "Chariot Choogle." He actually sings on that one, too. - Will York]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4767&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Space Rock Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:38:16 -0800 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4767 art.4767 Earth art.4767 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4767&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4767&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7279579&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Noise Rock Sat, 18 Jul 2009 11:11:17 -0700 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7279579 art.7279579 The Mae Shi art.7279579 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7279579&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7279579&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.971&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Contemporary Hard Rock Fri, 4 Sep 2009 10:46:31 -0700 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.971 art.971 adam art.971 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.971&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.971&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.13465756&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Noise Rock Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:44:28 -0700 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.13465756 art.13465756 Health art.13465756 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.13465756&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.13465756&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Disco, a collection of even more remixes. But unlike Black Dice, the band hasn't totally abandoned its roots in noise-punk mayhem. Sure, a track like Pink Skulls' remix of "Heaven" is pure 3 a.m. ecstasy. But when compared to most mainstream club jams, its raw beats and searing distorto-drone would freak out most dance-floor vets. But who knows -- maybe Health represents the very beginnings of a lo-fi, club-noize revolution. - Justin Farrar]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.54532&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Indie/Alternative Fri, 8 May 2009 01:50:02 -0700 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.54532 art.54532 Paper Chase art.54532 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.54532&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.54532&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.52485&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Lo-Fi Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:04:14 -0700 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.52485 art.52485 Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments art.52485 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.52485&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.52485&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12842&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Punk Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:25:35 -0800 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.12842 art.12842 The Blood Brothers art.12842 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12842&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12842&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16243&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Noise Rock Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:23:58 -0700 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.16243 art.16243 The Charm Pops art.16243 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16243&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16243&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5811&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:55:24 -0700 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5811 art.5811 June of 44 art.5811 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5811&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5811&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6197113&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Hard Psyche Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:31:52 -0700 Top Noise Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6197113 art.6197113 Comets On Fire art.6197113 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6197113&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6197113&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fnoise-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Blue Cathedral, garnered tons of critical praise, showing up on many indie lists as one of the Top-10 records of 2004.
