I would agree about genre...............I listen to the music and if it touches me in some way then I like it ......doesn't matter me me what label people put on it ................To me music is a communication of an emotion and we all know how varied and label-les they can be!:happy: 
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

....and the only artists/writers who have managed this almost 100% are Beatles/Lennon-McCartney...IMHO

LOVE NEIL YOUNG, and he has recorded many different genres, same with a band like the rolling stones, they've also done it all, I would still have to go off of genres to say i like rock music, or folk music or so on but i agree that if you like something it doesnt matter which genre it is CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:welcome to the forum,
hey, good thread man! its got people agreeing/disagreeing, thats what its all about!
firstly, i dont believe in 'genres', its either good music that says something interesting or it isnt. simpe as that im afraid!
i'll listen to anything,if it moves me,i buy it, if it doesnt...i dont.
genres are loosely termed names given to artists and sometimes they are not justified but they stick..eg: one of my favourites, Neil Young, you'd call him a folk/country singer..correct?...but is he? he's recorded very little country/folk music in his career...yet the genre label sticks because of "harvest" album...he's done rock,ballads,rockabilly,blues,grunge,protest/political etc
the name "genre" is b#llocks!
