Smooth Jazz

Spoiler for Kenny G - Forever In Love:

...somebody had to go there

Dirty Rap/Porncore

Spoiler for 2 Live Crew - Me So Horny:

this seems pretty tame now days....but just due to the exposure and controversy this stupid song caused i think it should get its dues....

East Coast Hip-Hop

Spoiler for Wu-tang Clan - Da Mystery of Chessboxin':

this song has more east coast accents than an episode of the Sapranos...blunt, to the point, in your face...the east coast

West Coast Hip-Hop

Spoiler for The Shape Shifters - Tabassco:

"keeping it fresh for the coast of the west"...fun, groovy, laid back, stoned...the west coast

Mexican Pop

Spoiler for Selena - Bidi Bidi Bom Bom:

Pop Rap

Spoiler for MC Hammer - U Can't Touch This:

yeah

Sunshine Pop

Spoiler for The Partridge Family - C'mon Get Happy!:

the sooner you all understand the concept of Partridge Reality the sooner the world will sing as one

Christian Metal

Spoiler for Stryper - To Hell With The Devil:

i again would like to see the genre "Neofolk" actually have a neofolk band in it...see here
Neofolk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

i think that Sol Invictus's song "Against The Modern World" truly encompasses this sound and the spirit

All are added, great suggestions. I second the Neofolk replacement, by the way.

How about Impending Doom?

Could go under Christian Metal or Deathcore.

Just get someone to second that replacement and they're in (I won't because I know absolutely nothing about those bands).

Here:
kraut-rock
avant-prog and ethereal

@bob. Since James and I supported you for Death in June as neofolk in the other thread, maybe you're supposed to make some kind of formal request for a change and link to that thread. I remember Conan had some similar idea when it comes to changes.

Yeah, that's the process. But it's all good, I changed it to his new suggestion.

Sorry about that. When somebody suggests a song for a genre that isn't on the list I'm supposed to research it and I just forgot to get back to you.

I added the Avant-Prog Suggestion. However, I know nothing about Dark Wave or Ethereal Wave. Can you tell me what main category they'd fall under?

That's the plan. As soon as all the songs are chosen and assembled it'll be available for download.

EDIT: And I don't think you can get much more manufactured than underage pseudo lesbians marketed towards perverted Russian men, so for that reason I nominate Tatu's All the Things She Said for manufactured pop.

It would be weird if they weren't, I agree. Also, I added the song. I was however imagining something more along the lines of Miley Cyrus for that one

Awesome, thanks for those! We're getting super close to filling out the Rock section. All added.

They fall under Rock section definitely. The reason I asked for the second opinion on whether should Dead Can Dance be tagged as dark wave or ethereal is this: I consider Dark Wave to be a broad term that encompasses several genres like death-punk, gothic-rock, ethereal, cold wave etc., basically it was originally a term describing a darker side of new wave and post-punk. In this regard, Joy Division, for example would be one of the first dark wave bands. But I've seen that some people look at dark wave as a later development and more synth oriented, melancholic music, very floating etc, basically the same as Ethereal. Here's the wiki page and it actually agrees with my view: Dark Wave

But, to get to the point, Dead Can Dance were an Ethereal band, but also Dark Wave. It's not a mistake to call them with both names. We already have a Goth-Rock genre on the list and if we include Ethereal, should we also include Dark Wave as a separate genre, or should Dead Can Dance define both? That's my question and I'd like to hear opinions from other people here.

~~someonecompletelyrandom~~ · 11-22-2010, 02:19 PM

Perhaps we could combine them?

Dark Wave/Ethereal Wave (?)

dankrsta · 11-22-2010, 02:47 PM

^^I thought about that, yeah, we could combine them. Good idea. And if someone comes along and really wants to define Dark Wave, you can then separate them.

Categories and noms added.

morgos · 02-10-2011, 07:31 PM

Is this still going? Nobody has posted for a while, but it's quite a cool project. I have a couple suggestions.

Gypsy jazz: Minor Swing - Django Reinhardt

I think this is definitely the quintessential gypsy jazz song.

Jazz-funk: Chameleon - Herbie Hanc0ck

I might be able to come up with a couple others later.

Insane Guest · 02-10-2011, 08:04 PM

I was wondering what happened to this project. You planning on finishing what you started Conan?

captaincaptain · 02-13-2011, 09:42 PM

Northern Soul

Gloria Jones - Tainted Love

Mrd00d · 02-14-2011, 07:05 AM

Ok, hadn't seen this project before...

Spoiler for A note about goa/psytrance:

Goa Trance - Hallucinogen's "Demention"

Psychedelic Trance - Shpongle's "Divine Moments of Truth"

Psybient/Psychill - Celtic Cross' Jade Garden

-------------------

G-Funk - Warren G's "Regulate" (f. Nate Dogg)

Hyphy - DJ Shadow's "3 Freaks" (f. Turf Talk, Keak da Sneak)

Midwest Hip-Hop - Tech N9ne's "Slacker"

Nerdcore Hip-Hop - MC Frontalot's "Nerdcore Rising" (f. Jesse Dangerously and MC Hawking)

This explains nerdcore a little as well, along with being another song.

Turntablism - DJ Shadow's "Walkie Talkie"
