Putting music into categories can certainly be overdone. But it helps to put them into perspective and makes for easy reference points. Instead of trying to go into detail describing The Sword's sound I can just say "they have kinda a 70's era heavy metal sound". Or, "they sound like Black Sabbath but more contemporary". It saves quite a bit of time.
It is difficult to describe sound. But we can't all be uploading mp3 samples to the board!
