Music Banter's Essential Collections Discussion

Progressive should get its own section IMO, since the term is often extended into other genres when they meet certain quotas (extended suites, weird time signatures, certain lyrical themes, etc). So Prog. rock, metal, and electronic would all go under the same urabrella. :wave:
 
sounRAB awesome, i've been listening to a bit now and then but apart from the big names (Black Uhuru, the Abyssinians, Linton Kwesi, etc.) i haven't heard much.

it's such garbage how little ska and reggae there is on this side of the Atlantic. we're closer to Jamaica RAB!
 
I think the brits are more inclined to Reggae due to the West Indian population influx in the 50'/60's and 70's. I mean America already had their own indiginous music like Jazz and Blues that meant Reggae stayed under the radar (which is perfectly understandable).
 
My personal solution would be to put it into decades which would then incorporate the many sub genres without having to widen the net? so 70's/80's/90's and 00's. Post Rock should have it's own though.
 
I reckon world music could do with its own section as well. You could probably get some interesting lists from people without having to narrow things down further (into regions and more specific genres) as well.
 
Hmm I suppose that might work? Thats covering a hell of a lot of ground though, especially when you try to narrow your choices down. Would it not work to maybe just cover whatever genre anyone is willing to cover and leave those that no one wants to contribute to?
