6 Songs That Were Decades Ahead of 'Groundbreaking' Music

Post by Lester »

Most great bands are considered revolutionary in some sense: You wouldn't expect anyone in the 60s to sound like Radiohead or Nine Inch Nails, just like you wouldn't expect anyone in the '30s to sound like The Beatles. That's why the songs on this list are so bizarre to listen to; they were so far ahead of the curve that their genres weren't even invented yet.

Any articles that reference Lothar And The Hand People AND Pigmeat Markham are great reads, whether you agree with them or not.

For those of you truly into music, Lothar And The Hand People cannot be overlooked. "Space Hymn" is their most well known number, while
"Machines", if I am not mistaken, was originally a Manfred Mann tune..
