There's alot to be said for the Mars Volta, I saw them at the Electric Ballroom in London for the Deloused tour. The bloke I brought along complained that they 'sounded like a airplane landing', or something. He was obviously wrong, but I have found that four albums in their brand of progressive/punk can be a bit much.
Whatever your complaints, the world needs them, as they are the last bastion of prog rock, in the eclectic King Crimson sense.
Plus the round of 'promos' they did for Bedlam were brilliant.
