Anteater

King Crimson
Strengths: Incredibly innovative, having always been ahead of the curve musically over almost everyone else while retaining their signature heaviness. Robert Fripp is the best textural guitarist on the planet, and despite the many break-ups and lineup changes over the last 40 years have never sacrificed good songwriting for the sake of commercial success.

Weaknesses: The various lineup changes and break-ups, lack of stylistic consistency beyond one or two traits, some weak material in the late 80's, seeming inability to get someone above and beyond decent as a vocalist. (sorry Belew ^^)

Ozric Tentacles
Strengths: Have the uncanny gift of being able to hypnotize you as you listen to them. Their sound, combining elements of every entrancing form of psychedelia, dub, ambient and electronica known to man is inhumanely effective at locking your mind into a groove without the aid of psychoactive stimulants. They also aren't owned by some corporate shitbag label and yet have still managed to sell over a million albums in less than two decades. No annoying frontman drama either, as the Ozrics are an instrumental group.

Weaknesses: Lack of particularly noticeable/visible growth in style between releases. Once you own one or two of these guys records, you've pretty much heard it all.
