You classify Metallica as hard rock? I'll admit, since 1991, they are more hard rock then metal.

Re: Worthless Offseason Poll #1: Music
Using my criteria (when I first heard them, compared to the bands that were definitely metal) I'd say hard rock. Hindsight? Metal.

Re: Worthless Offseason Poll #1: Music
Obviously it's a matter of our different perspectives then. I didn't really get into hard rock and metal until the Tech years, so the first time I heard Metallica, they were clearly metal to me. On the other hand, I still classify Led Zeppelin as mostly hard rock (with the exception of a couple songs), even though professionals say otherwise.

I like what sometimes gets called alt-country: Old 97s, Cracker, Lyle Lovett, The Bottle Rockets, even Social Distortion, and Willie Nelson; but also Carl Perkins, early Elvis, Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys, etc. It's been really interesting learning about it, especially the early years when jazz, blues, rock, country and gospel could merge together, without people necessarily categorizing them into one subset or another.

Re: Worthless Offseason Poll #1: Music
I'd have liked to have been able to vote for three, instead of being limited to one, since my "favorite" depends upon time of day, day of week, and what I am doing.
Our local "classical" station also plays big band era jazz on Saturdays, which is a form of "classic pop" if you will. Benny Goodman was an innovative musician who created a new genre that had not existed before (not single-handedly, of course); he also recorded Mozart's clarinet concerto (that's a great scene in his highly-fictionalized Hollywood biography in which Steve Allen plays him).
For "other" I'd pick The Grateful Dead. They are a genre entirely to themselves, sometimes rock, sometimes folk, sometimes blues....Jerry Garcia also released a nice bluegrass album called Old and In the Way....and bluegrass in a way is a "classic" American genre as well.

Re: Worthless Offseason Poll #1: Music
I picked other for two reasons.
1.) No way could I ever pick just one.
2.) Alternative isn't listed.

She is classified as pop(ular) rock. Not my call. I think she sucks.

Eurobeat and bubblegum house are my choices, both of which fit into the "other" category. Club techno is too slow for eurobeat, and ambience is something completely different.

My favorite is blues & blues rock. That puts most of my radio time on the classic rock stations as it's heavily rooted in the blues rock sound.
I'd agree with the professionals. I'm listening to Kashmir at this very moment, definitely not hard rock.

Definitely "other". There has been little since the mid-70's worth listening to.

Seriously... how do you not put classic rock and roll on the list?!

Re: Worthless Offseason Poll #1: Music
He splits it into both kinds of music - Country AND Western, but he doesn't find room for classic rock. The amount of sense the man makes is directly proportional to the amount of hair on his head. As he loses one, it's directly impacting the other.

All of that crap sounds the same, just a bunch of thumping and talking about *****es, homeys and drugs.
And three kinds of rap

Re: Worthless Offseason Poll #1: Music
The gaping holes in the list are Soul (which is understandable since white corn fed college hockey fans don't know what Soul is), Blues (which is a criminal oversight) and Jazz (which is OK, because Jazz sucks). Also, "Old Country" is really "Middle Country." "Old Country" is Hank Senior.
Sarcasm font fail. Unless you actually meant that. What's you're describing is Gangsta rap (which is garbage). Old School Rap is fantastic. "Pop" Rap is just audio wallpaper in the fine tradition of overproduced teen music in all ages.And three kinds of rap

Re: Worthless Offseason Poll #1: Music
Not being sarcastic. As far as I can tell, all that rap BS sounds the same. It belongs on the list, in one entry, because under some definition of music it qualifies as a genre. I'd just rather stab my ears with an ice pick than listen to it.
