Genres? Fuck that, I have to do it this way:
A: Alice In Chains
B: Bee Gees
C: Cream
D: David Bowie
E: ELO
F: Frank Sinatra
G: Guns 'n Roses
H: Hank Williams
I: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
J: John Lennon
K: Kool and the Gang
L: Led Zeppelin
M: Marilyn Manson
N: Neil Diamond
O: Opeth
P: Pink Floyd
Q: Queen
R: Rick James
S: Stevie Ray Vaughan
T: Tool
U: UB40 (had to stretch for this one)
V: Van Halen
W: Willie Nelson
X: ?
Y: Yes
Z: ZZ Topp
Rules:
- One artist per letter. I had a tough time leaving AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Pantera, Deep Purple, George Benson and Red Hot Chili Peppers off. (even gave Neil Diamond first billing over Nirvana). Pick one.
- Used the first name of solo artists.
Sorry, I just saw my initial reply and realized that I might have hijacked the thread a little.
Genres? Hard Rock and Metal (thrash is cool, but no cookie monster vocals and the machine gun bass drums are now way past boring). I love funk. Pop is good, but died in the mid-eightees. I'm down with the blues, but will never understand rap; some good tunes, perhaps I just don't have the proper frame of reference. Same with country; country is cool, modern pop-country is shit. I love a lot of jazz, but there is some jazz I simply don't get. Classical? Can't get enough of Bach's cello suites. Rachmaninov's 2nd and 3rd concertos are moving as well.
I think music is a lot like food. When you hear it you know immediately if you like it or not, regardless of genre. You like it or you don't, no harm, no foul. Appreciating music is like appreciating food; in this context appreciation means that you must endure it for the sake of some high browed societal compensatory effect: I don't get it.
To each his/her own.
