Wait, there were four answers before I finished the poll. The software needs to be changed.

I omitted Country and other due to options being limited to eight. I am about to vote for classical post-1950.

Gordon invents a new category! I've never seen rap linked to punk as a genre.

Classical, definitely but also a lot of rock like Red Hot Chili Peppers (my daughter Liz & I can't get enough of them!!, Love w/ Arthur Lee (my new obsession) , lately I've been listening to a lot of George Jones too--God, he's wonderful!!

It's obviously a neo-con lumping of genres that threaten family values.

Think of the slashes as "or" not "and." I was limited by the eight choice maximum.

Uli, if you can convince Mone to modify the software, I'll agree to re-do this poll with say 16 choices and no lumping.

I can't figure out how to vote. The collection in my office/car CD bag right now:

Gram Parson, T-Bone Burnett, Lucinda Williams, Wilco, Nick Lowe, Steve Earle, Neko Case, Ramones, Buzzcocks, Clash, Jam, Patti Smith, Elvis Costello, Blue Rodeo, Pogues, Waterboys, and Billy Bragg.

Most of it comes from a local store where they file it in a section called "Good country/folk/roots - the real thing" At the other end of the shelf is the smaller "new country shit" section! The latter doesn't get a lot of traffic in this place.

Well, you're obviously going for big lumping. That'd probably also include Soul & Gospel.

I must say that I am a bit apalled by Gordon's list. No efi, no polka no clave but 2 classicals and an eai.

You can file all of that under "other international," that is unless is qualifies as "world." "Clave" even qualifies simultaneously as "Latin," "world," and "other international."

Soul is R&B, indeed.

But you are right about gospel. Gospel is certainly not blues or R&B. Gordon has no place for the Lord. The Lord may have no place for him either.

Horny, I guess I'm not recovered from my R&R in Maxico.

To me, R&B is pretty boring, but Muddy Waters, Son House, James Cotton, BB, et al do a lot for me.

I really hate it when people self-proclaim their eclecticism, but I honestly don't know the answer for sure. I answered eai, but that's just a guess.

I consider that more of a 'scene' than a genre.

Jazz is probably number three on the list, after eai and rock and/or roll.
