Progression of experimental music
I'm just starting to get into experimental music. I know there's a lot to explore. Can anyone list experimental bands from most listenable (i.e. "beginner") to hardest to listen to (i.e. "advanced" or something that would turn most people off)?
I'm still getting used to the dynamic of how this type of music works. |

I think that Can's Ege Bamyasi, Frank Zappa's Hot Rats, Mr. Bungle's self titled debut, and Radiohead's Kid A are all pretty solid places to start if you come from a more rock based background.

I really don't pursue Experimental music as composed by Art (Classical) music composers. What I like probably isn't considered Experimental by most Ex-fans. These bands are considered more in the Experimental Rock category.

^ That reminds me of this video. A circuit-bent Nintendo console, controlled by a modular synthesizer, which you can see in the video next to the monitor.

Some 'staple' experimental artists worth checking out: The Residents, The Red Krayola, Fred Frith (massive discography, I'd start with his project Massacre), Peter Brötzmann, Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band, Zu, Sunn O))), Nurse With Wound, and Boredoms.
