Grunge - is a term derived from a style of guitar playing by Jimmy Page from the seventies. The Pixies were the first to consistently use this then Cobain & co did their stuff. Sorry to open that debate again.

 

Folk - Yup mainly crap, but the new Beck album (Sea Changes) is quite folky yet very good.

 

Indie - is good but get used too often to describe a type of music you would put under 'other'.

 

It's more about the bands than the category anyway, The Beatles were pyschedelic, jazz, rock and any style you'd care to throw at them, their brilliance came through doing everything well, like outdoing the beach boys on Back in The USSR.

 

Nirvana did exactly the same when they did a brilliant cover of 'Man who Sold the World'. Quality in music comes through diversity, being able to blend styles and influences and coming out with something good.

I'm with you on all but Punk, Jared.

So I've missed some, i'm not pefect am I, well actually....

Reggae - funny

Ska - wicked

R & B (the crap chart type) - the work of the devil

Gangster rap - Why don't they just all kill themaelves and do us a favour.

Garage - [****!!****]!

Nothern Soul - Pretty good (apart from the northen bit)

Origibal Mod music - Fantastic.

Novelty records - Unless it's John Kettley is a weatherman it's crap!

 

When i said some folk i was thinking of the Levellers!

How about the Pogues?

I like some diverse stuff but the best forms of music IMO are

Grunge

Punk

Metal (not really heavy)

 

I agree quality shines thru no matter if it's a mixture of styles, SteveP you mentioned when Nirvana did 'the man who sold the world' Quailty cover (my fave cover in fact) but what about the cover of Leadbelly's 'my girl' they did the same night?

 

P.S Novelty records liek Bob the Builder rule!

[SteveP]

On the covers front, Radiohead did a good cover of 'nobody does it better' or Suede's cover of 'Ship building' stands out...

 

Now with this category malarky, I've worked it out like this:

My favourite Bands are

 

Beatles - Pop?

Super Furry Animals - rock/indie/crazy welsh music

Radiohead - rock/indie/jazz??

Beck - indie/hip hop/country/folk/pop

Pink Floyd - Prog Rock

Muse - Rock?

David Bowie - Rock/Pop

Foo Fighters - Rock

 

So I guess that makes it

 

Rock

Indie

Pop

 

but that could be subject to change..

 

not so sure about the novelty songs, remember the Spitting Image Classics?? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool_shades.gif" alt="" />

classical is way better than pop in my view! they have way more talent!
