What's a Freak Folk? Is that when freaks at a freak show start playing folk music?

It's heavily experimental and unconventional psychedelic folk.

Fuck off dude. I know he can be a bit one-sided sometimes but there's no need for name-calling and acting like a ****in playground bully. It's his game and he can run it however he damn well pleases. If you have a problem, suggest he change it, don't be an asswipe.

Yeah, I know he is but there's no need for saying **** like that.

Maybe, but I haven't sene anything getting done concerning the schedule.

OK, after black metal, we'll do alternative. And from a personal preference, how about ambient after that?

EDIT: Also, I just realized how many people have black and white images for avatars here.

How so? We have many different "major" genres to tackle.

OK, but no facemasks, no horse collars, and NO helmet to helmet contact.

I think two metal genres in 4 weeks and doing another one really soon after that would just turn this into another "metal album survivor."

First you said Nu Metal and Black Metal were worlds apart. Now it's too many Metal bands. "I'll be another Batlord boo-hoo-hoo," - you say. Sounds like you are flip-flopping on the issues, JGuyls.

OK but do College Rock (80s) and Alternative Rock (90s) separately, huh? I mean you are THE Grunge man around here, that distinction should be a given, right?

Not really, Neapapajohns. I fail to see how two different brands of metal contradicts too many brands of metal. I need to take some level of responsibility to get the genres decided because it seems people aren't really dedicated to the decision making. Otherwise, I'd have to pick them all myself and I don't want to do that.

Part of the reason for black metal's early entry was the lack of popular genres and the lack of dedication from the voters. I could swithch alternative rock and black metal so that alternative is tomorrow, but I think that would cause some complaints.

Alternative is almost the same has nu metal .... After black metal we should tackle one of the main genre of music. JAZZ

OK, so Jazz, prog, or ambient. Suggested by Norg, Frown, and me. Which one will it be. And if we do jazz, should we choose a specific kind or tackle the whole?
