State The Genre/Genres That You Feel Ashamed To Have Not Divulged Enough Into. - General

Long-ish title, but to the point. I would have to say Blues. Now I'm not a complete noob when it comes to blues, I'm a huge blues rock fan. But when it comes directly to plain old blues... I will struggle to hold a conversation as long as I would with something like Jazz. :saddowns: It is a shame because I have gone to the extremes with Jazz, trying possibly every style incorporated within the genre and I am pretty sure that I am accustomed with it. I try and use MrJazzy's blues knowledge as an advantage, but I always fall back into jazz rather than blues... It's just a case of knowing the core artists, but not bothering to go further into the unknown. Tell me yours.

Soul

Drone Definitely Drone and ambient.

[QUOTE=bravehat;28764982]Drone Definitely Drone and ambient.[/QUOTE] Do you like the sound of this? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO8ZaPdQw6w[/media] Not quite "Sunn O)))" but a good start on ambient drone.

The modern folk rock scene. It would be nice if anyone could suggest me a few artists.

I have Boris' Floods album, my favourite is easily part 3, I like upbeat sort of ambient and drone, stuff like Earth's The Bee's Made Honey In The Lions Skull. But yeah that sounds pretty awesome.

Reggae and blues, I've heard some amazing reggae stuff but everytime I'm sat at my PC I don't really have much time for exploring the internet for music, and just put on some of the usual metal instead.

The thing with Drone Ambient, is that it doesn't necessarily have to have an affiliation with "Drone Doom Metal". [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuf9nwSrtDA[/media]

[QUOTE=Wyvers;28765085]I don't really have much time for exploring the internet for music[/QUOTE] Pfff... I don't really have much to say to that. Dedicate more time towards looking for music? Reggae and Blues are definitely genres worth divulging into.

[QUOTE=Jack_Thompson;28765128][b]*stuff*[/b][/QUOTE] I actually meant any kind of Folk. Though Folk rock seems to be more dominant in my music library at the moment. Cool stuff but nothing breathtaking or amazing, alright that last video is amazing. Cool beards too.

Although not having released much their one album "First Utterance" must be heard. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Utterance[/url]

Jazz, reaggae and classical are all things I've been meaning to try and get into but haven't yet.

Reggae and Blues are definitely genres worth divulging into.[/QUOTE] Most of the time I'm on the internet is when I'm at work, which leaves me without sound. I'm gonna make a plan this weekend to do it, and I've got a friend who can send me a shitload of reggae.

Dennis Brown's Visions of Dennis Brown album. Get them both and enjoy :smug:

Jazz I love jazz but I've never given it a proper look into yet.

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;28765478]Jazz I love jazz but I've never given it a proper look into yet.[/QUOTE] Jazz Fusion has the capability of making you like it as much as Prog Rock. Trust me. :smug:

Folk, Jazz, blues, classical and prog rock. I need to get off my ass and learn stuff about these genres.

I've listened to some jazz fusion yeah. Mainly metal though.

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;28765682]I've listened to some jazz fusion yeah. Mainly metal though.[/QUOTE] Try one week without metal, I feel you need a break just to get some fresh air. :smug:

I saw them open for Streetlight Manifesto last month, and I'm already having withdrawls.

[QUOTE=Stizzles;28765768]Everything. :colbert:[/QUOTE] You really need a break from nintendocore. :mmmsmug:

Probably soul, haven't heard much of it. And more reggae/ska

[QUOTE=SilverHammer;28765746]Andrew Jackson Jihad is pretty amazing :([/QUOTE] I was just commenting on the video's posted. [editline]23rd March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Cosmicmeet;28765821]Probably soul, haven't heard much of it. And more reggae/ska[/QUOTE] Reel Big Fish is awesome Ska.

[QUOTE=AK'z;28765801]You really need a break from nintendocore. :mmmsmug:[/QUOTE] No, everything also means nintendocore. :colbert:

[QUOTE=AK'z;28765713]Try one week without metal, I feel you need a break just to get some fresh air. :smug:[/QUOTE] I need to do that, can't do it this week because I'm playing a metal version of poker face.
