My only concern with this project as a whole is people picking things that are a part of the genre but not necessarily the most accurate to describing the genre as a whole, of course everyone has different ideas about this so voting is really the only way to go. For the example of noise rock, sure The Jesus Lizard are quite know as a noise rock band but in comparison to bands that embrace noise a lot more (e.g. AIDS Wolf, Mindflayer, Arab on Radar) The Jesus Lizard are more so a 'noisey rock band', which may be a bit misleading to those getting their first taste of the genre (point of the comp, is it not?).

Just some thoughts. Again, a lot of that boils down to personal opinion.
I mean it is noise POP and noise ROCK and not just "noise." Maybe those bands should get their own "noise" genre?
