My favorite noise (I mean that in the best way!).

1. Charles Gayle
   Jazz noise.
2. Sonny Sharrock
   Jazz-rock noise.
3. DNA
   The skronk exemplars.
4. Melt-Banana
   Heirs to DNA’s throne.
5. Karlheinz Stockhausen
   Intellectual noise.
6. Alexander Mossolov
   Making a piano sound like a factory.
7. Alvin Lucier
   Quiet noise.
8. Tod Dockstader
   Electronic noise.
9. Naked City
   Category-spanning noise.
10. Rhys Chatham
    Guitar noise with rock balls and classical brains.
