Einsturzende Neubauten. Translated I believe it means "imploding new buildings." Somehow the fact that its in German makes it even more apropos.

always liked bands that would have to holdup to the name.

as prev mentioned tower of power
cpt beefheart and his magic band
and my fav the amazing rhythm aces. what a challenge!! to be amazing, and aces of rhythm, ta boot.
