The Ultimate Compilation I
EPISODE I: POPULAR MUSIC The most ambitious musical project of all time. About The Ultimate Compliation project, or TUC, as I suggest all of you call it (you'll need to save some time since you'll be gawking at it's sheer enormity for quite a bit), aims to live up to it's title and create the ultimate musical compilation. Just as a compilation for the genre of Jazz may contain the most defining songs of the style, this comp aims to define music itself. To cut to the chase - a song in every genre and sub-genre within reasonable imagination. We'll be starting with Popular Music. To be followed by Art Music, and finally, Traditional Music. Definitions for these distinct aspects of music can be found here. Of course, they will likely overlap with each other - but it's not the intention of the project to split hairs and get into tedious debates about what classifies what (that's what the rest of MB is for). This is something for the whole community to get involved with. Everyone on MB is encouraged to help construct this behemoth. To participate, look at the list of genres and sub genres below. Know a good song from that style? Post it! You're also encouraged to do some research on the genres you've never heard of and report back to us with your findings. Check below for the official submission proceedure: How to Submit
