R&P: What are your NON-rock genres in your music library?

Question

I've noticed that die-hard R&P fans tend to extend far beyond just rock and alternative music (alt. includes grunge, ska, industrial, metal, punk, etc.). We're pretty broad in our musical spectrums. Here are the major non-rock genres on my iPod:

•Blues/jazz
•Electronic(a)
•World
•Hip Hop (Beastie Boys and some good early political rap)
•Pop (I've even got some French pop in there! =])
•Soundtrack/showtunes
•Techno

So, what are yours?

And an unrelated question:

Answer 1

New Age

Native American

Answer 2

Well, there are a few causes: Firstly, we've got the immoderate commercialism of a host of father artists who all sound the equal (Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Chris Brown and so forth.). Most (even though I would possibly not say all) have little or no skillability, however Disney and different firms vehicle music their voices, write their lyrics, positioned make-up on their faces and ship the message to the arena that "that is present day, that is cool" and, as we've got visible typically earlier than with the manipulation of the hundreds, it is labored. The moment factor is Kurt Cobain. Don't get me fallacious, I like Nirvana, however Nevermind had the unlucky end result of inflicting practically each and every rock band shaped from 1995 -gift to leap at the option bandwagon. Since Nirvana had been in no way quite that "badass" within the first position, such a lot present day rock bands lack the aggressiveness of Aerosmith/Guns N' Roses variety rock n roll, and likewise do a infantile imitation of Kurt's lyrical variety (which even he admitted wasn't precisely creative, he favored to awareness on melody). The new rock bands additionally perpetuate Kurt's awareness on melancholy (which was once OK whilst he did it, however no longer whilst EVERYONE makes an attempt to mimic it). And then the 3rd factor is the upward push of guttural vocals in heavy steel. Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and so forth. are/had been nice bands, however after the early 80s, steel bands desired to "take it to the following stage". So they forgot approximately what had made steel nice (lyrical ingenuity, godly electrical guitar solos) and delved deeper into what became many folks clear of the style (overt heaviness, melancholy, senseless anger). But I consider it is not reasonable to mention folks not care approximately well track. The 2 first-class promoting excursions of all time had been the 2005-2007 Bigger Bang excursion via the Rolling Stones and the 2008-2010 Black Ice excursion via AC/DC. The first-class promoting artists are normally conventional rock artists (Beatles, Queen, Zeppelin, and so forth.) and no band has made an album that sells higher than Back in Black. Rock continues to be alive, guy.

Answer 4

I've got Blues, Classical, Jazz, old Rap, Pop, Soundtracks, Frank Zappa {I think he is in his own genre}. As far as your other question goes, here is a funny story about that. When I was in the U.S. Navy stationed in Virginia, I would go to a deli or base club that served food and ask for a sandwich with mayonnaise on it. every time they used Miracle Whip and told me that is was Mayonnaise. Sorry, big difference. I had to wait to go back to New York until I could get mayonnaise again. Also the pizza there sucked and I couldn't wait to get back home for some real NY pizza. Peace.
