SES are far from generic, radio-ready rock. I mean, part of the reason that they're no longer on a big label is because they didn't want to go that route. If you look purely at their singles, then yes, they are radio-ready and not exactly ground breaking, but a lot of their other stuff is quite superb. They're clearly influenced by Alice In Chains and Nirvana. If the stuff with their old label Lava never happened, and their second album 'Anxiety' was released as originally scheduled, they'd be a lot more popular then they are now. They stuck to their principles though and are still making great music.
I reccommend 'Ban Nuys', 'Atoll' (an instrumental), 'Morning Light', 'Californias Lonely', 'With This Knife' and 'Reflection'.
