PS.Speaking of chuck berry, im beginning to think that leaving him off was a bad idea, i probably will update it again. =(

I completly understand what your saying, only thing i dont think i fully agree on is reggae being a subgenre of rock. they may have the same roots, but i dont think reggaes roots are rock. but with that analogy, id have to agree with misfits when he said something about all music eventually ending up with one main root, so how far back are you going?( i was under the impression that this thread was rock and subgenres of rock, not rock and genres that share the same roots. id put reggae and rock on separate branches of the same tree and not as differant twigs on the same branch, same would go for country.

#64 and #93 are the same person.

Sorry. You have no idea about music. The Madcap would spin in his grave to be considered in the same breath as Collins, let alone be confused with him.

As for thinking one of the most accomplished guitarists, composer, arranger, technician, producer & artist of Xenochrony who ever lived was one and the same as the unsung musical & artistic genius of Don van Vliet... Hell! May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits... now, I shall put on my copy of Electric Ladyland by that Bob Marley chap and ignore you.
