Which bands do you think sound unique? "Unique" as in when you hear "Points of Authority" (for example), you can identify it right away as a Linkin Park song. I can only think of several bands: Linkin Park, System of a Down, AFI and Slipknot. There are probably a handful of other bands that sound really unique but I just haven't heard their music enough to judge.
Slipknot's sound isn't really unique because a lot of bands I've heard I've mistaken for Slipknot. I think a band like Mudvayne, however, is very original and unique. There's no other band like them.
Tool, Opeth, SOAD, The Mars Volta, Dream Theater, I Mother Earth, Symphony X, Liquid Tension Experiment....... Lots.
you officially rock my socks cause you know who they are. straylight run dashboard confessional linkin park evanescence staind afi eve 6 anatomy of a ghost savage garden matchbox 20 plain white t's
Linkin Park.... Nobody could even try to replicate the stuff that they seemingly effortlessly pull off... Evanescence vocals are original, and I think that their older music is very original but I'm sure a lot of eva-like-bands will sprout up soon so I'm not so sure...
