Whoops! Can't say how little I agree with this statement. You won't find a Yngwie or a black metal drummer in this band, but you won't find anyone there who's interested much in that genre either - at least not in playing it.
Bad Seeds have a visceral connection though that can only be had through musicianship and years of playing together. Take a look at their Stagger Lee vid on youtube (be sure your sexual ID is pretty firmly intact), and you'll see a band that plays in another time - that of their own making.
Others - "Into My Arms", or "Henry Lee" with PJ Harvey, or "15 Feet of Pure White Snow".
Hey I know he's not for everybody - he's never been on mainstream radio - but these guys really come from somewhere else.
