i wasnt targeting you specifically my dude. i feel like id seen it a few times throughout the thread. but, admittedly, it's not like there's much that falls outside the alt-metal to punk paradigm there. we can cut up rock a dozen different ways in the same way you could for, say, electronica (jungle, house, trance, drum and bass, hardcore, and so on) but to view it from an neutral, all-encompassing perspective; to someone who's looking at the big picture (let's say pop, rock, jazz, blues, r&b, electro, country, classical, world, and noise), you'd be a rock listener, just like said example dude would be an electronica listener. ya dig?
not trying to be a hater, i like a bunch of those bands. i wish you'd do one with the album names on there so i could read it a little closer!!
honestly, looking back on my list, i could probably apply the same critique to myself. i think i'd actually left out a few entire genres in my haste to put together a top 50 before i hit the sack. i was in a rock mood. i don't think i threw in any good representative example of my motown/blues/r&b collection (i ****in love me some jackson 5, marvin gaye, gladys knight and the pips, etc.) and i probably completely overlooked electronica and country. it's also, admittedly, hard to have a favorite noise record... you have to be in a certain, strange kind of mood to throw on some hanatarash. it happens though!
i let my boyfriend handle the classical in the house, there's far too much there and i couldn't even begin to catalog it let alone name my favorite pieces. he's more knowledgeable than i am with that end of the musical spectrum, and it's all on cd rather than my itunes.
aaanyways... much love, music brother! i aint pickin on ya, so don't take it to heart, k?
