Please read this

This is a place for all members to
1) See everyone else's favorite genres and bands in the group,
2) and to show that I can lead this group. Refer to this.

Once an admin is put in place, I was planning/hoping that I -- or whoever is admin -- could put this on the front page for everyone to see.

So these are the questions I want everyone to answer:
What genre(s) do you like and listen to? What is your favorite band/artist for each genre you like? Comment on this thread.

These are the genres to choose from (more can be added/suggested):
Ambient
Alternative
Brony Music
Christian (Rock or rap)
Classical/Orchestral
Country/Folk
Dance/Dubstep/House/Trance/Drum and Bass
Electronica
Experimental/Industrial
Hardcore
Hip-Hop/Rap
Jazz
Metal
Pop
R&B/Soul
Reggae
Classic Rock (Older Rock Bands -- Folk Rock)
Modern Rock
Progressive Rock
Other

Rules:

1: The band/artist(s) you choose should be your favorite for that genre. You can choose an unlimited amount of genres, but max number of bands/artists per genre is 3.
2: Please reply to this comment so your comment can be read in a timely manner.
3: Feel free to suggest genres to add to this list. I may or may not add it, but always try!
4: If you come back to this list after some time and decide, "You know, I'm going to change what I had originally put there," that's perfectly fine. What is here is not permanent (It's not for me, haha). Just say something like, "I'm gonna change . . . " or something of the like.
5: I will respond to your comment with "Added" once it has been added to the list. Feel free to ask me if you haven't received that response from me after putting a comment in.

721774 You need a separate category for Gorillaz.

Hip-Hop: Eminem, Tupac, Snoop

Rock: Celldweller, Cage the Elephant, Offspring

Brony: Kowruption

Modern rock: Muse (They also fall under the dubstep category LOLOL)

721774 You think you can lead this group with those favorites? Hah! This is what a MAN listens to!

Modern Rock: Third Eye Blind
Classical: Franz Liszt, Erik Satie
Rock: Operation Ivy, Green Day
Metal: Dream Theater, Kamelot
Classic Rock: The Eagles, Blue Oyster Cult

721782
Take at least one off that Rock section.

721805
Wait, really? Haha, that's funny.
721806
I listen to all of those. (Except for the Classical choices)
They're just not my favorites.
Classical and Metal -- really?

721817 Yep. At least in their newest album:

That's the rock.

721823
Which side of them do you like the most? The dubstep or the rock?

721813 Coldplay wouldn't really fit under Classical either though, unless you count hardcore classical.

721829
I'm keeping the max # of artists down to three.
So just take one off.

721817 Franz Liszt was fucking metal.

721806
There is no "Rock" section.
Did you mean "Modern Rock"?

721826 I prefer their rock stuff, and that's what they're most known for.

modern rock (I guess?) Nine Inch Nails

Well, I hate to sound pedantic but your genre list is somewhat incomplete. I'll just list the genres as I add the artists. I might've forgotten a few artists, but you should get the general idea.

EDIT: It seems that I didn't notice the part about the three-artist rule. Choose the first three out of the genre lists I've made, I suppose.

Claude Debussy
Maurice Ravel

No folk? :T

Also ambient and post-rock and triphop

Also I think its worth splitting Dance into IDM and EDM

722144
You've got plenty of time. Decide which ones you want and don't want. Remember, these are personal preferences, not "Name every artist you can think of with each genre."

722147
I was originally planning it to be under Country.

722211

Okay, I've done just that. Mostly by splitting the artists into more specific genres, though. I hope that's alright!

722240

Fair enough...I added a bit more to the comment for you

Actually never mind I'll make do with what you've got...should be fine.

722253
You should use the genres I have as of now. Splitting them up will not help me in any way.
This applies specifically to:

Romantic
Minimalistic
Impressionism
Progressive Rock (Would go under "Modern Rock")
Synthpop
Hardcore (Metal, maybe? IDK)
Jungle/Drum and Bass
Bass Music
Funk (Would go under "R&B/Soul")

If you want to suggest a genre for the listing above, you can do so. The genre should be reasonably broad, though, and should not sub under any of the ones up there.

Ambient
Boards of Canada
Helios
Solar Fields

Classical/Orchestral
Chopin
Max Richter
Goldmund

Country (folk)
Radical Face
Fleet Foxes
Django Django

Dance/Electronic
Squarepusher
Venetian Snares
Aphex Twin

Dubstep/House/Trance
Swarms
Burial
KOAN Sound

Hip-Hop/Rap
Nujabes
MF Doom
Aesop Rock

Jazz
Sayag Jazz Machine
Caravan Palace
Kormac

Classic Rock
The Eagles
Led Zeppelin
The Doors

Modern Rock
Death Cab for Cutie
Modest Mouse
Silversun Pickups

Other (post rock and trip hop)
Starscream/Infinity Shred (their current name is Infinity Shred)
Gorillaz
Massive Attack

722327

I agree that ambient should be its own genre and if you make it so it will change my list slightly

722349
After some research, I agree that Ambient should be it's own genre.
Make the necessary changes. Tell me when done.

722401

Done

722401

Also if you consider making drum and bass its own genre...no changes just 3 new artists.

Also for brony music
Nosnibormada
Vivex
RainbowCrash88

722417
Post-rock is actually considered a subgenre of modern rock. (Trip hop still goes in the "other" section)
Change accordingly. Tell me when done.

722457

Infinity Shred is genre melding chiptune, post chiptune, and post rock...I think they can stay. Replace God is an Astronaut with Gorillaz, and Massive Attack is triphop

722327 Okay, if you insist.

Romantic music falls under the Classical umbrella.

Impressionism and Minimalism fall under 20th Century music, which is noticeably separate to Classical. Maybe it should just not get a slot, since I doubt that many people will be fussed over a lack of it.

I'd say Progressive Rock is really more under Classic Rock than Modern, since 'classic' and 'prog' rock bands emerged and became popular at roughly the same time.

I suppose you could classify the Synthpop bands I listed as electronic.

Hardcore (read 'Rave music', not 'Hardcore Punk), and Jungle/Drum and Bass are Dance music. They're just big subgenres.

Bass Music is somewhat in-between Electronic and Dance music, in all honesty. By that I mean that it's appreciable just as electronic music, but it's also meant for dancing. Maybe you should just not include it if you want to stick to the genres you've already established. I only included it because it does reflect a big part of the music I listen to.

Feel free to include Funk with R'n'B and Soul. It's not inaccurate to do that.

The only genre suggestion I'd like to put forward is separating Dance and Electronic music. There's plenty of music made entirely electronically that isn't remotely danceable. Plus, splitting Dance from Dubstep, House, and Trance is a bit confusing. They're all just styles of dance music, really.

I'm sorry if I seem to be a bother, by the way. I just thought it'd be good to include more diversity and accuracy in this genre list.

722455 Thanks for the plug, man.

722466
Invalid and confusing statement.
Did you mean, "Replace Gorillaz with God is an Astronaut"?

722655

Yeah...modern rock stays the same. Other is now: Infinity Shred, Gorillaz, and Massive Attack

722638
I'm trying to make it more generalized so it can accomodate 206 members.
You know what I mean?
Okay, If I do what you tell me to, I get this:

Classical/Orchestral
Gustav Mahler

Hip Hop
De La Soul
A Tribe Called Quest
Public Enemy

Jazz
Miles Davis
John Coltrane
Duke Ellington

Ambient
Global Communication
The Orb
The KLF

Reggae
Linton Kwesi Johnson
Lee Scratch Perry
The Heptones

Country/Folk
Fleet Foxes
King Creosote and John Hopkins
Joanna Newsom

Brony Music
SoGreatandPowerful
sci
PinkiePieSwear

Dubstep
Burial
Shackleton
El B

Genre-melding artists
Everything Everything
Gorillaz
Bibio

R&B/Soul
James Brown
Marvin Gaye
Otis Redding

Now let's just assume that everything above is fine and to your liking.

There is a problem regarding the max # for these ones:

Classic Rock
Pink Floyd
Yes
Genesis (early)
The Allman Brothers Band
Led Zeppelin

Electronica
Boards of Canada
Aphex Twin
Autechre
Kraftwerk
Depeche Mode
Altern 8
The Prodigy
Praga Khan
Juan Atkins
Derrick May
Jon Convex
LTJ Bukem
Photek
Roni Size

OK.
Choose three bands from the "Classic Rock" and three from "Electronica" to keep.
IS THIS BETTER!!?

722638

No prob >_O your music's great

Also I mentioned that IDM and EDM should be split so I agree with you there. But really all I want to push for is adding drum and bass.

Also I'd like to push that post rock should be its own genre since it has almost nothing in common with other rock genres other than the fact that both use guitars (same instrument; completely different nuances)

722696
EDM = Electronic Dance Music
IDM = ____?_____ Dance Music

722696

Post-rock is a subgenre of rock music characterized by the influence and use of instruments commonly associated with rock, but using rhythms and "guitars as facilitators of timbre and textures" not traditionally found in rock.

In that respect, it falls under "Modern Rock".

722696

But either way I'm like

722701

Idm is "intelligent dance music" it's basically EDM's opposite. Intelligent was just a name that stuck...its not actually any smarter than EDM.

basically the difference between Aphex Twin (idm) and Deadmau5 (edm)

722715
IDM is a form of EDM.
Go figure.

722705

I guess bro...I'm just saying post rock is about as much of rock as shoegaze is...should at least be allowable under other.

722725
Why else do you think Gorillaz is under there right now?

Either way I'm not gonna make a fuss about it...its your thing and I can respect that...just sayin

722692

Yeah, I do get what you mean. I guess I didn't think of it from the perspective of an admin.

I choose Pink Floyd, Yes, and The Allman Brothers Band for Classic Rock. I guess I'll just cut it down to Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Kraftwerk for Electronica.

All the other choices I made, as sorted by your system, are fine. Sorry for being such a problem child.

722752 722732
I'm not even admin. Although I'm trying to be, since the actual admin hasn't been on for over 12 weeks.
Thank you anyways.
...
...
If I attempted to become admin over the group, would you support me?

722761

Sure, since the old guy seems to have vanished. We'll always need someone to keep watch over groups like these, and you seem to know your organisation. I'll support you.

722811
There's a link to a blog at the top of the thread (where it says, "Refer to this"). Would you mind just saying something like "I support DJ GarV for admin" or something? Just to give myself a case when I appeal to a mod.
BTW, it's "organization".

722761

Yeah dude...I mean I don't really even see why we would need an admin or anything but I'd support the motion to make you it.

722825

Not in the UK bro.

722722

Also not really...I just said they were opposites bro...they are both forms of electronic music though.
