Rap rock?

hells yeah!....great choice too

i think Nurse With Wound wins for Avant-garde but with the hour long creepy epic 'Salt Marie Celeste'

and Merzbow - Woodpecker 1 should take the noise sub-genre


also

Thrash metal
D.R.I. - I Don't Need Society

choose an entry for IDM:
Shiz Ko E - The Tuss
XMD 5a - AFX
Triple Science - Amon Tobin
Dawn Chorus - Boards of Canada
Eutow - Autechre
Glitch - Autechre
Rsdio - Autechre

happy picking!

Dumb genre but Indie-Rap perhaps? When I think Rap Rock I think maybe Body Count - There Goes the Neighborhood.
Either way Why? are awesome.


or Rap Metal?

I really don't consider Indie-Rap to be a legit genre. At least not until it's reconized by, say, Allmusic. Body Count is a good contender for Rap Rock (Rap Metal has been taken). Why? doesn't really represent rap rock very well. They're a folk inspired hip hop tinged indie rock band. They're a great group but since it seems they skewer so many genres they may simply not be right for this comp. I'll leave it up to you guys to decide though. If you want Indie Rap to be added I can still add it, I'm just trying to avoid this thing getting any bigger.

Just get somebody to second you on that and the Avant-Garde genre will be defined.

I want indie-rap added. Mostly cause I just want WHY? in there and it's the genre that defines them best (imo), but still. It's legit.

Edit: And I'll suggest Chuck Berry- Back in the USA for Rock N Roll



and Talking Heads- Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) for New Wave



These are pretty big genres though. So someone could totally disagree with me.

Alright, it's added. Went ahead and added Why? too.

I guess I'll solidify my suggestion of Body Count - There Goes the Neighborhood for Rap Rock unless anyone has a better suggestion.

Added it. And added your suggestions too, story. This is going much faster than expected. Rock is almost completely filled out!

How can we define Avant-Garde when it's not a genre or style? I think its sub-genres are enough to define it. When I think of avant-garde I think of guys like John Cage, Stockhausen, Harry Partch etc. Nurse With Wound, no matter how experimental, is still a part of 'popular music', Industrial specifically. They (he) are however one of the kind, so maybe avant-garde, or experimental industrial would fit better.

Really anything that captures the spirit of the movement effectively. It's nearly impossible to choose a defining song for any of the genres without it also falling under one of it's sub genres. Speaking of that, I'd like to nominate radio-standard and anthem of psuedo-troubled youths everywhere...



I really do believe this is the ultimate rock song. Overplayed or not, it really captures the spirit of loud, rebellious rock n roll and no matter what style you predominantly enjoy - you can't help but like it. It's naive, sincere, four chord goodness.

Oh oh oh this has to be austropop:



Falco- Der Kommissar

Well it doesn't have to. But that would make my day.

^ consider it made.

It would make mine too.


Edit: nice one, Conan.

I have my IDM entry.

Get yo braindance on, bros.

Fun Fact: I made brain dance stamps in high school art class.

THANK YA CONAN

But I've noticed there isn't a place for classic rock, which is a bitofashame. So I'm thinking maybe it should be included and this could be the song?



I like the live version more than the original, personally.

And for Korean Pop: Wondergirls- Stupid



And I'm thinking perhaps an early Beatles song for all of pop?

And for Ambient House, it's time to get our Orb on...


The entire reason I know of Steve Reich is because of this song.

Acid Jazz:

Jazz Fusion:

Nu Jazz:

Breakbeat:

Dance:

Dubstep:

Drum N Bass:

Darkcore:

Electronica:

House:

Trance:



OK so that's a few suggestions for a couple of genres.

Hip Hop, Pop, Rock and Ska coming next!

Dark Cabaret - Harlequin Jones - Gutter Tango



^^ For Pronk (Not sure if I saw this genre though)

Oh, so you mean we should also give suggestions for overall types of music, like Rock, Jazz, Avant-Garde regardless of their sub-genres.

Then for Avant-Garde I suggest Karlheinz Stockhausen - Mikrophonie

He's known as one of the first that experimented with electronic music. I guess John Cage could also represent overall avant-garde music, but since I already submitted him for experimental, I'll go with Stockhausen.

i'll second this....it's an amazing track

also i did not submit Merzbow....dankrsta did...i just seconded it :)

Neu! - Negativland for Kraut-Rock (which is not on the list and really should be)

Stockhausen has been accepted to define Avant-Garde! :)

Agreed, dankrsta. Artist and genre added. Also, Dr.Suessicide - added that Cardiacs tune to Psychedelic Pop.

Hard Rock- Guns 'N Roses- Rocket Queen


Anyways, back on topic.

Added. I'm submitting this little number to the Post-Grunge group.

*chills*

Honky Tonk
Hank Williams - Lovesick Blues

nobody could Honky Tonk like Hank....except for maybe his grandson

Country Rock
Supersuckers - The Supersucker Drive By Blues

self claiming "greatest Rock band in the world"....always with a country twang

Alternative hip hop (would this be the same as underground?)
Molemen ft. Slug,Aesop Rock, and MF DOOM - Put Your Quarter Up

it features three of the bigger "alternative" mc's


Political Hip Hop
Sage Francis - Makeshift Patriot

i think pretty much anybody whose into political hip hop at least knows this song well

Dance pop
Dee Lite - Groove Is In The Heart

makes me want to dance....

Electropop
Kraftwerk - Music Non Stop

its Kraftwerk....

Industrial Metal
Ministry - So What

this is one of those songs that got me into music

Punk Rock
X - Your Phone Is Off The Hook, But You're Not

i just think the entire album "Los Angeles" is a perfect example off the "punk" sound....and this is the opening track

wow...thank you for this....

I beg to differ ;)

^yup...there is no arguing that :thumb:

so Punk Rock
Damned - New Rose

teen pop y'all

Progressive Bluegrass: Hypocrite Smile by Acoustic Syndicate
Surf Pop: Surf's Up by Brian Wilson
Dance Pop: Just Dance by Lady Gaga
Anti-Folk: Oedipus by Regina Spektor
Reggae: No Woman, No Cry by Bob Marley
Industrial Metal: Rabble Rouser by MDFMK

And suggested genres:

Jam Band Box Of Rain by The Grateful Dead
Contempory Jam Band: Rift by Phish
Modern Jam / Electronic: Float Like a Butterfly by The Disco Biscuits

Just listened to Infectious Disaster for the first time. Jeez, Violent & Funky is awesome! I'm gonna definitely listen to more of them now.

Fen - Exile's Journey - Black Metal.


Death - Chrystal Mountain - Progressive Death Metal.

Dub:


Surf Rock:

The Surfaris - Wipe Out

or maybe

Dick Dale & His Del-Tones - Misirlou
(Sorry Melissa)

Sludge - Celeste - Tu regardes trop fort, tu pens

I would have really liked to put Amenra - Razoreater, but the Celeste is just pure sludge.

The Celeste track can be downloaded here, on their last.fm page:

http://www.last.fm/music/Celeste/nihiliste%28s%29

I considered nominating Bush for Post Grunge as it is the only band I can stand, but there was a big discussion in the [Soundgarden?] thread about whether they were too early for Post Grunge and really just a copycat band at the end of Grunge... *shrugs*

Infectious Grooves? ;)

Sorry, I haven't been online in a few days.

Even if Japanther is a good example of noise pop, 'Radical Businessman' is a poor representation from their catalog. I was just trying to pick songs that are on youtube, otherwise I would have gone for the poppier '$100 Cover', which is the essence of noise pop in my mind.

However, I think No Age has some excellent examples of noise pop too. But I haven't hear that song, +81, because I only have Nouns. :( I hate to suggest a cliche choice from Nouns, but I think 'Eraser' is a picture-perfect example of noise pop. Thoughts?
