This will be the official template for any introductory thread. We need them as clean and orderly as possible to attract visitors. Please note that the thread title should be "The [Genre] Introductory Thread". You can quote my post and fill in where necessary to make it easier. Please understand that if you are covering more than one MAJOR genre (i.e. Rock & Metal), you can make an introductory thread for each, but leave the sub-genres within the thread. Everything within brackets should be deleted or deleted and substituted using the instructions shown.

The deadline for submission is October 1, 2008 (giving you a month and some change to create, edit, and change the thread as desired).

The [Genre] Introductory Thread

[Brief introduction: this is a small section where you can introduce the genre and explained how it came into being, but you should be concise and succinct. One to two paragraphs should be sufficient to introduce a genre and explain what the music sounds like. We don't want to saturate the introductory threads with words so that newbies don't shy away from using them.]

The Must-Haves: [Here follows a list of eight to ten albums which you feel best represent the genre as a whole.]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]

[Sub-Genre] [An opportunity to provide some notable sub-genres (but please, don't take it further than a sub-genre; we don't want to hear about blackened forest pixie metal). Use common sense! Three to five albums should suffice.]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]

[Sub-Genre 2]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]

[Sub-Genre 3...]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]
[Artist] - [Album]

Compilations: [Here you can exercise even more control by creating a playlist of eight to ten songs. You can archive them using WinZip and upload them using Megaupload, Mediafire or similar sites. If you want to, you can make multiple compilations or compilations for each sub-genre (though that would be a lot of work).]
