much as I love them, there ain't nothin' improvised in any Art Zoyd, Univers Zero or Magma that I've ever heard. That is all composition.

The Velvet Underground era '66-'68 were the most rocking improvising band there has ever been.

Henry Cow, and Fred Frith in particular, would be second rock improv-er(s) in my book.

Can would be the close third improv group. Crimson, when they improv'd, were also rockin' occasionally.

And how 'bout an honorable mention for Throbbing Gristle? They had no idea how to play their instruments, but managed to rock fiercely off the cuff anyway.
