I heard someone compare Godspeed to Pearl Jam in that they basically ruined a genre (unintentionally of course) by breeding a bunch of knockoffs that took over. Kinda seems right.
I love Godspeed as much as the next person but I have to agree and the knockoffs of course are all of decreasing quality it seems.

Believe it or not Yes spearheaded Whalecore in the 70s.
Moby and Moby Grape are also proponents of the genre Whalecore. http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/by...y-emoticon.gif

I'm pretty sure Moby was breakbeat whalecore.

My stance on this is simply that, sub-genre to me seem a bit pointless overall. Their can be various takes on say, Rock, Metal, Punk, Pop, or Country. But because some of those bands are artists have a bit different sound, they need a 'sub-genre'...? I think everything could be right at home under just Rock, Metal, Punk, Pop, Country or whatever...why confuse or jumble things up with variations?

Hm...imagaine...

A type of music where it's whale sounds, with they bleeps and bloops, weird as electronic sounds to make the melodies and such. I think artists like Rhiana would be right at home there...

Sorry the proper genre for Kenny G is not Jazz but Waiting Room Muzak.
