Juju would probably know best, but if you want something that will assert your manliness, I'd go with Ministry's
Animositisomina.
I'd say I'm a bit sheep and a bit pioneer: I just buy stuff that sounds good, though I'm always up for checking out new artists.
In high school, we were discovering new shit all the time: I think of all the bands we listened to that either never got really big or that wound up going big: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Wax, Machines of Loving Grace, 24-7 Spyz...the list goes on and on.
I'm kinda in the boat with UT too...some of what I like is/was very popular in Europe but not as popular in the US, like Jamiroquai and Blur.
I already know that a lot of people are going to go out and buy the new OutKast and Seal CDs...and I don't care. They're good artists that put out good work...it's that simple.
In the end, I try not to limit myself just b/c something is popular to the masses or is so "unknown."
