Let's stick with loud guitar rock bands from the 1990s. Or more specifically, the ones I was into then. Even more specifically, the ones that still make me make rock faces and dumb body contortions. I think I've previously commented on how badly a lot of the math-rock/post-rock/indie-anything-but-cock-rock from that era has aged. Much of it has neither the fun/catharsis of rocking out nor the technical wherewithal to prog it up respectfully. (Have you listened to a June of 44 album in the last 10 years? Yeesh.) Anyway, these guys were good. Still are — the old stuff and the reunited version both. Exploded Drawing remains a great experimental rock record that does both effectively. Here's one of my faves from it. The verses sound like banging your head without being head-banging. Neat trick.
Polvo - Feather of Forgiveness
