How do you fit Neil Young into a 'genre'? he's done just about everything,except heavy metal/classical, whereas genres are justified for the likes of PF, Stones, Macca, Madonna, and a million other artists.
Thinking way outside the box (maybe off the playground entirely) but could a Multi-genre Forum be established for such artists as you have mentioned? If a certain artist does a certain piece, it could get talked about in that whatever genre with a STRONG pointer to an artists's heading in multi-gen? Just a thought (you listening, Bill Nelson?)
