Who: Portishead
What: Trip-hop with twinges of alternative pseudo-cabaret. Two particularly popular albums - their debut album 'Dummy' and the later self-titled 'Portishead'.
When: 1991-present
Where: Formed in Bristol, England
Why: Why? They're incredible. My personal favorite song, Glory Box, exemplifies what I feel to be the signature Portishead sound - hypnotic and chaotically seductive rhythms and instrumentals, hauntingly beautiful vocals, and a wildly ridiculous level of enjoyability. I would say more, but I don't think there's a better way for me to demonstrate how great they are than by letting you see for yourself!
