Bang & Clatter Genre Introduction Thread

[Screwtape2]

Often people ask for an introduction into a new genre or hope to introduce others to a new genre. Well here is your chance to get exposed or expose great genres. The idea is you pick a genre or era/wave of that genre and create an introduction to it. For example, I might for a genre I might explain what is great about it and some history then have a sampling of that sound. This can be done in two ways either way is acceptable: upload a sampling of any length of your choice or post Youtube videos of those songs. If wish to receive links leave your e-mail and they will be e-mailed to you. Either way is fine. The one thing I ask is that you keep your whole presentation together and not scatter it across many posts or pages. I you want to expose others pick a genre. Please don’t do one that other people have already done instead do a subgenre of it if you want.

Here are some broad examples of genres:
Hip-Hop
Rap
R&B
Soul
Funk
Hard Rock
Metal
Prog Rock
Pop
Techno
Dance
Folk
Jazz
Classical
So on…

Axver would like to do Dunedin Sound, The third wave of Prog Rock and Metal.
I would like to do Jazz Fusion and the first wave of Prog Rock.

Feel free to pick a genre and start making an introduction. Feel free to ask any questions.

 

[Screwtape2]

I personally would like to be introduced to some rap and trance.

What would you guys like to be introduced to?

 

[u2popmofo]

I'll probably write something up for shoegaze, as that sounds like fun.

Cool.

Axver said he hoped you would do something on Post-Rock. So you have a reputation of having great tastes.

 

[lazarus]

If someone volunteers to write about or asks for info on NuMetal, is that grounds for banning?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i call dibs on new wave. or anything 80s. if anyone needs introducing to it

 

[Zoots]

What about boy band/bubblegum pop?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

What about boy band/bubblegum pop?

[LemonMelon]

I'm not sure if LMP will want The Funk or not. I'll take it if he doesn't.

I'd like to be introduced to classic jazz.

 

[Screwtape2]

What about boy band/bubblegum pop?

Of course.

 

[Screwtape2]

I knew you would. I can't wait to see what New Wave artists I missed.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

I knew you would. I can't wait to see what New Wave artists I missed.

i'm sure i'll overlook some lesser-known artists, but i'll definitely cover the more popular groups, and basically everyone i like

 

[Zoots]

Of course.

I was only kidding of course.

 

[Irishteen]

I could write a little something about post-rock, if people are interested.

 

[bono_212]

I don't think there's any genre I'd be good enough at doing this introducing thing, but I really would like to get into prog....but even what type I'm not sure about...I'm very uneducated

 

[Axver]

Actually, I believe it was Jack In The Box who I namedropped with regards to knowing plenty about post-rock.

Either way, although I've delved a good deal into the genre, I know that it's a seriously diverse genre and there are good chunks that I've overlooked, so it would be good to have some more quality stuff brought to my attention by anyone who knows their post-rock shit.

 

[LemonMelon]

OK, it's decided, I'll try to do a write-up on classic soul music. Yep.

 

[cobl04]

I would not detest the idea of being introduced to a bit of early jazz, like albums from the fiddys sixties, like miles davis, frank sinatra, if that music is good.

 

[The Sad Punk]

If anyone wants some pre 60s music, then I'd be happy to do something like that.

 

[intedomine]

I actually would love to get into Techno....always found it fascinating

 

[LMP]

Definitely put me down for the Funk, Screws.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Definitely put me down for the Funk, Screws.

did you find The Funk LMP?

 

[LMP]

did you find The Funk LMP?

I found it in bed with a Conga Eel.

 

[Screwtape2]

If anyone wants some pre 60s music, then I'd be happy to do something like that.

I'd like a crash course in 50's music.
