Haha well, it's not as mainstream or obvious, but anyone who's a fan of Mike Patton knows that Faith No More (or Mr. Bungle) has had a very strong influence on most modern bands (aka Nu Metal). Most of them have one of those two bands of his as an influence.

Incubus is one... Deftones is another. CKY, Korn.. There's a few others I can't think of.

Of course, Nirvana is what did it for the 90's, but there's a LOT of influence coming from Patton's arena, as underground as he may seem.

Even Tool claims he's an influence on their work.

There was an interview with King Buzzo of the Melvins and he was saying:

"Yeah, we make fun of Patton. See, we (The Melvins) are proud to have influenced bands like Nirvana, while Mike (Patton) has to live with the fact that he influenced Nu Metal." I can't find a link, but it was hilarious.

Needless to say, he's amassed quite a following (very odd how he isn't mainstream being as popular as he is) and you'll be seeing a lot more avant-garde/experimental type music in the coming years.
