Genre Olympics

RoundTheBend · 2018-04-15T17:00:09-04:00

These will be the threads started to discuss and list albums in these genres (strikethrough means the thread has been created) Regional Music including, but not limited to African, Asian, Middle Eastern, Caribbean and Latin Jazz Electronic R&B and Soul (Funk) Hip-Hop Classical Music Ambient New Age Avante-garde, Experimental, Field Recordings, Sounds and Effects Blues Country Folk/Traditional Dance Easy Listening Industrial Music Pop Punk Metal Rock Psychedelia Comedy & Spoken Word Musical Theater and Entertainment I may at this point do a better version of the regional music and split it out into the specific regions... makes more sense. Live and learn... (looks like there was a Genre Extravaganza thread in the past, but I think that was discovering new sub-genre's etc, and this is best of the genre? Should this be moved to the games forum, even though we have games in the music forum all the time (sometimes more traction)? I've never been a genre connoisseur. I've used them to find music in record shops, and that's about it. I may have made a pathetic chart or two. Some of you though are indeed genre connoisseurs and know A LOT about certain genres and their sub-genres. It was suggested this might be fun to do, but like an olympics of the top 3 albums (Gold, Silver, Bronze) of a genre. We could then move on to sub-genres. So I'll put up a vote on which is your favorite genre, and then we can do a week per genre or something. Also side note: holy shit on how many electronic sub-genres there are. Further- if you have a strong argument for another root/parent classification not outlined below (like I'm adding classical to the list), feel free to do so... but don't add metal, because that is technically a sub-genre of rock according to this article... we can dig into that when we get into sub-genres? I'm open to suggestions, but I also find the organization of this article well thought out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popular_music_genres African Asian Avante-garde Blues Caribbean/Caribbean Influenced Comedy Country Easy Listening Electronic Folk Hip-Hop Jazz Latin Pop R&B and Soul Rock Classical You can only vote once in a poll so maybe list your top 3 you love the most and top 3 you want to learn the most about: I'll go first: Kind of know some things about it: 1. Rock 2. Hip-Hop 3. Classical Want to know more: 1. Jazz 2. R&B and Soul 3. Electronic

I remember the discussion, I just didn't realize the game would just die if I didn't help, I'll be sure to help next time although I'm not sure I can make a difference...

Only you can prevent forest fires... Haha.

I've been tempted to give feedback on what I've been listening to but wanted discussion instead of my journal.

Yeah... I think I said something to this effect...while other games are still played in the regular forum...

I don't currently see any games being played in the music forum, which ones are you referring to?

And the mods aren't on here all the time, so if you could report threads and posts you believe to be in violation of the rules, that would be helpful.

I don't like being a tattler. I may pm you them. All things considered the threads got the traction they deserved. Thanks everyone who has participated.

I'm incredibly excited to start the R&B/Soul/Funk thread next, probably on the 1st, when the Regional Music thread will no longer be accepting votes (even if album recs are always welcome).

The R&B, Soul, Funk, etc. game is up for all you wonderful people to join in and talk about possibly the greatest genre to ever exist.
