cheese metal

We call that "polka music" here.

August Spies

crust is a fairly large punk subgenre. Its typically very political music with a very dirty harsh sound, an outgrowth of peace punk.

Mediancat

Classical - "Hall of the Mountain King," by Grieg

Jazz -- Linus & Lucy, Guaraldi

Rock - Concrete Blonde, "Bloodletting"

Rap - Don't listen to it enough to make judgment

80's - Walk Like an Egyptian, the Bangles (Second: China in Your Hand, T'Pau)

Oldies - Depends on the definition. I'll take Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon.

Techno/Electronica - Not if my life depended on it.

Romance -- You mean, best love song? Hmmm. Can't think of one off the top of my head.

And a couple of genres not in the original question,

Country: Neko Case, "Furnace Room Lullaby"

Folk: The Roches, "Hammond Song"

Humorous: Weird Al Yankovic, "One More Minute"

Rob aka Mediancat

Nostalgic Pushhead

Classical - None, I don't listen to it.

Jazz - Chet Baker, "Let's Get Lost"

Rock - Mott the Hoople, "All the Young Dudes" or Weezer, "The Good Life"

Rap - Eminem, "Stan"

80's - Tears for Fears, "Mad World"

Oldies - Beatles... uh... I don't listen to much before 1970, but I listen to a *lot* from the 70's, does that count as "oldies" yet? "Life on Mars" by Bowie is one of my favorites.

Techno/Electronica - New Order, "1963-95"

Romance - Nope.

I gotta add...

Punk - Alkaline Trio, "Maybe I'll Catch Fire"

August Spies

I'm not saying anyting about the worth or not of Alkaline Trio, but I saw some commercial the other day claiming Alkaline Trio was taking punk to new deeper and darker places. I wanted to shoot the tv screen. AT are pop punk, they are nowhere near dark or deep and certainly nowhere near as deep or dark as punk has gone. Hell the Sex Pistols were deeper and darker than AT.

VonEvilstein
