    What bands do you think have unique sounds.
    One that comes to mind is The Pixies- the amazing "light and dark" of Black's primal scream and Deal's more melodic vocals with that everpresent driving bassline. OK they influenced a lot of bands but i've never heard the sound approximated.

    Another is The Smiths- Marr and Morrissey combining to produce something i feel is unique.

    And possibly The Stone Roses- just listened to "I wanna be adored" again there and it definitely sounds like nothing else to me- that intro is otherworldly and sublime.

    What bands do you think have a truly unique sound?

    No chance of the Roses reforming as long as Ian Brown remains a thick, monkey faced idiot. Saw him say in an interview that he hates violence and he is all about Peace. Yet when I saw him play a solo show he lunged into the crowd right where I was and tried to beat up a guy behind me. Gas man.

    Anyway, I think bands like Arcade Fire, The Cure, Radiohead have their own great original sounds. I could name more but it's Monday and I'm tired of thinking already.
