Favorite Genres

[Hats of!]

List 1-5 and name the greatest song/album of your favorite genres, like this:
(Copy + Paste)

1, Progressive Rock
Why?
A break from Mainstream-crap. Long song, complex lyrics and instrumental. Smart and it's like a complete "Fuck You" towards bands like Spice Girls.
It's rock without bounds.
Album: Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Song: Supper's Ready - Genesis
Band: Pink Floyd

2, Psyc/Brittish Invasion
Why?
Britts are better at music then Americans. It's catchy, smart and nice towards your ears. Good artists too.
Album: Tommy - The Who
Song: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - The Beatles
Band: The Who

3, Glam-Rock
Why?
Next best thing to prog in the 70's. Unlike artists today that claims to be flameboyant, this is the thing.
Album: Roxy Music - Roxy Music
Song: All the Young Dudes - Mott the Hoople
Band: David Bowie

4, Heavy Metal
Why?
Before the metal's change towards an own genre it was still rock. And artist dared to mix folk or prog into it to a level were they didn't mix it. I'm very pleased about that.
Album: Led Zeppelin I
Song: Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - Led Zeppelin
Band: Early Queen

5, Folk/Plain Rock
Why?
Pretty much the same as 2, good music.
Album: Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Song: Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan
Band: Bruce Springsteen

Album: Odd How People Shake - Fear Before The March Of Flames
Song: Should Of Stayed In The Shallows - Fear Before The March Of Flames

2, Crunk

4. What's a genre for a dj?
Why?
Slapping Beats In Your Face Has Never Been So Cool.

5, Emo
Why?
Really don't know. just because i guess.
Album: Alls Well That Ends Well - Chiodos
Song: The Party Song - Emery
Band: Don't Have One.

[Idioteque]

1, Indie
Why? Like Prog-Rock, it is generally less constrained by major labels, and therefore more focused on making good music.
Album: At Mount Zoomer-Wolf Parade
Song: How Soon Is Now?-The Smiths
Band: Sonic Youth

2. Electronica
Why? I'm talking about the good stuff here, not that crappy dance music. Lots of electronica has some really mind-bending stuff, that can take you on some fascinating soundscapes.
Album: Kid A-Radiohead
Song: Come To Daddy- Aphex Twin
Band: Aphex Twin

3. Trip-Hop
Why? Takes away the stupidity of hip-hop and makes something brilliant.
Album: Mezzanine-Massive Attack
Song: Machine Gun-Portishead
Band: Portishead

4. Post-Rock
Why? Does away with the bullshit of regular rock, and replaces it with gorgeous, shimmering, textured, sound.
Album: Lift Your Skinny fists Like Antenna Into Heaven-Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Song: The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place-Explosions in the Sky
Band: Sigur Ros

5. Shoegaze
Why? Similar to Post-Rock, it does away with a lot of boring powerchords and other rock staples and instead uses an intense drone of guitars and over-dubs to produce a rich atmospheric sound
Album: Loveless-My Bloody Valentine
Song: Only Shallow
Band: My Bloody Valentine

[Verdelet]

1, Death Metal.
Why?
I enjoy the diverse sounds achieved, the fast paced heavy parts or the melodic progressive parts... I enjoy technical drum passages and bassists who actually play riffs sometimes contrary to the guitar work and blend it well. I also enjoy the many vocal types which is used.
Album: Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone
Song: Shelter From The Sand
Band: Akercocke

2, Classical/Japanese Classical/Acoustic
Why?
Because it's beautiful, an art and so well writen!
Album: Blue Sky
Song: Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
Band: Kotaro Oshio

3, 80's pop or industrial perhaps..?
Why?
Has a good sound to it, usually quite happy sounding.. or dark depending, and easy to enjoy.
Album: Any
Song: RIP
Band: Gary Numan

4, Blackened Death Metal
Why?
Because I enjoy the mix of Black Metal and Death Metal...
Album: Bondage Goat Zombie
Song: Bondage Goat Zombie
Band: Belphegor

5, Greek music
Why?
Because I'm half Greek and was brought up listening to it, has a beautiful sound, beautiful lyrics and makes me feel happy.
I don't really have a favorite, but at the moment I'm liking:
Song: Lei Lei
Artist: Pano Kamelis
