It's Hard Rock Week!

This is one genre that doesn't really need explaining. However, for the sake of clarity, it doesn't mean just any aggressive, loud, macho rock 'n' roll, cause that would be too broad for this weekly celebration. It means a specific kind of rock that emerged somewhere in the second part of the 60s from the psychedelic era, influenced greatly by blues rock, but also keeping some of the rawness and unpolished attitude of garage rock....

I expect this week to be very popular and the thread stuffed with all your favorite hard rock bands.

It's Folk Metal Week!

"Folk metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal music that developed in Europe during the 1990s. As the name suggests, the genre is a fusion of heavy metal with traditional folk music. This includes the widespread use of folk instruments and, to a lesser extent, traditional singing styles." (wiki)

It's Britpop Week!

As you all know, britpop is a name associated with the British alternative scene of the 90s. It emerged somewhere in the late 80s, early 90s, only then it was more of a phenomenon than a genre, an influx of fresh sounding British bands and a kind of reaction to grunge in US...
