That's the thing about "best of" or "5 best" threads like this: There's really no way to pin those terms down. Not counting opinion, someone/something has already been there and done it or there is an up and coming someone/something doing it right now. I guess the only way to qualify anything these days is through experience and exposure, being much easier in today's world than it used to be.

BTW, your username suggests you are a musician yourself, with Locrian being perhaps the most uncommon mode there is. I'd likely be a Dorian or Mixolydian.
