What a poll! I think I'll go for Big Black today; Atomizer, Sound of Impact, and their EPs have long been depraved favs of mine plus that Roland character was a mean drummer

Which ones? 

I can't say which is my favourite Fugazi. They're more song than album band to me I guess. Terraform would be my favourite Shellac and with SY it's tie between Evol and Dirty. 

Fugazi (US) - Repeater (1990)
Shellac (US) - At Action Park (1994)
Sonic Youth (US) - Experimental Jet Set...(1994)

Sonic Youth is nowadays also my favourite of these and I think I can say they're one of my all-time favourites, too. 

I was thinking whether I should include them in the poll since they're more of a category of their own if that makes sense. 

SY album poll might be in order some day.

Not sure if there are many people here interested in this stuff, but here goes anyway. 

I've listed a few noisy rock/post-punk/alternative/grunge bands from 1980s and 1990s that I like or have liked. Nothing obscure but no household names either. Some are still active, some are not. All have, to me, a peculiar, quirky, original touch in their music. 

What are your favourites? Multiple votes allowed. Discussion and suggestions of similar bands welcomed.
