The "Western" part stood for Western Swing. Country and Western is the umbrella term for both (Country music and Western Swing), but it doesn't mean Country and Western Swing mean the same thing or that they are indistinguishable from each other. So the lady wasn't absolutely wrong to say "both kinds." It's just a subjective distinction that seems a bit unnecessary to Jake and Elwood. I'm sure you wouldn't let someone confuse Swedish Death Metal with Norwegian Black Metal.

If you look at what I was responding to, it asked this: "Is it so hard to list some preferences?" So that's what I did. Those are my genre preferences that I'd have to list to accurately list my preferences. That's what I concentrate on collecting (though that list doesn't at all exhaust what I collect). And as I explained, I concentrate on collecting those genres by systematically going through that very list and acquiring more stuff in each of those categories. That's the main, though not the only, part of how I acquire more music.

Also, it should have been clear that my post was answering "Is it so hard to list some preferences" as I only quoted two short sentences from the post I was responding to. The question about preferences and a brief explanatory expansion of the question. Why would I quote that, and only that, prior to my response if I weren't answering that?

I know your response was aimed at Dlystew and you had reasons behind it etc. etc.

From this this thread I guess you believe you listen to everything. You titled the thread "Anyone else (say they) listen to/like "everything"?" then stated that you do. Your opening words were "I do."

I am a little more skeptical with that statement "I listen to everything." Like I said before I say that I listen to everything sometimes in conversation. However (to be honest) I don't really don't consider myself listening to everything.

You listed 40 "genres," I listed 80 sub-genres and sub-sub-genres, and I still don't feel like I listen to everything.

Again, that was a list of preferences, not every genre I listen to. Yours wasn't a list of every genre you listen to, was it?

Also, some folks (critically) say my genre preference list covers everything, and I could see that argument being made. What are some genres you see it not covering?

Neapolitan

goes without say

I listed just as many and twice as more, and I don't see myself listening to everything. My list was never critically acclaimed.

You don't have Shoegazing, Hardcore, Post Hardcore, Dream Pop, Twee Pop and a few others. EDM and all its sub-generes. I think a list that doesn't mention music of the Didgeridoo is incomplete.

Those are subgenres of pop, rock, punk and dance/club music. So yeah, they're on there. That's world music. That's on there.

no, I can piss farther

"ambient/drone/noise"Navicon Torture Technologies, Alberich, Brighter Death Now are a few.Which falls under "rock" on my list, by the way.

Sonic Youth, Melt-Banana, Zeni Geva, Glenn Branca, U.S. Maple are some favorites.Falls under "experimental" and/or rock for the most part on my list (some can fall under dance etc., too)

Some favs are Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, Skinny Puppy, Einsturzende Neubauten, Foetus, :zoviet*france:

I'm a huge Zs fan, too, by the way. Not sure what categories they best fit above, if any, but at least some of their stuff should fit some of these categories. For example, they have some stuff that sounds a lot like some Brighter Death Now. I don't normally compartmentalize music in genre/subgenre categories when I listen to it. My genre list is there just to guide my collecting. Once I acquire something, though, I don't think about what genre it is aside from when I think, "Man I need more like this" (which is how I ended up with the genre list as a collecting guide in the first place).

You had mentioned Rock at least ten times on your list. I've heard of Boogie Woogie, and Disco songs with the word "Boogie" as lyrics but I haven'tr heard of "Boogie Rock" till now. (I assume it is the style of Rock that the Killer and the Fat Man plays?) just to note: "Yacht Rock" isn't a genre -- "Yacht Rock" was a TV series. So if you were so careful to differentiate between the various styles of Rock, and throw in a fictional one too, why not do the same for Alternative Rock/indie? Do you think everything in the 80s & 90s is either Punk Rock or Pop?

So I am suppose to assume you like the Didgeridoo cause you mention "World Music?" I am also suppose to assume you give equal listening time to the music hundreds of different cultures? Where do you find the time?

I don't like the term of World Music for some of the same the reason of David Byrne, and for other reasons as well. "World Music" is a umbrella term. It isn't a single genre of music. It doesn't differentiate music from one country or culture to another. Neither does it differentiate between Traditional music, Tribal/Primitive music*, and hybrid music consisting of older traditional music with more modern Pop and/or Electronica. (*I am using the terms of noted musicologist George Seeger used.)

I am not knocking Traditional and tribal* music. If you are interested in sharing what music from around the world you like then ... What is your favorite Shakuhachi album? Can you recommend any Fado artists? What else do you listen to besides the Didgeridoo?
