    Bloc Party?

    I'd be interested to see where they fit into this analysis (which I think has a lot going for it but could also be accused of cherry picking). They're a lot newer than most of what's being reviewed here, but with a black lead singer, socially progressive lyrics, and extremely rhythmic songs, I'd love to read someone smarter than me try to piece together their role in this drama. Of course, whether it has a notable connection to trends in American black music is beyond me, but I'd be curious what they make our author here think about.
