Music Genres

[Adone]

I'm transferring songs to my new IPod and I'd like to know what genres would you label each of these artists with:


Ark
Benny Benassi
Blink 182
Bloodhound Gang
Bon Jovi
Chemical Brothers
Eiffel 65
Green Day
Muse
Offspring
Rammstein
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Robbie Williams
Simon & Garfunkel


Thank you all very much

Not a complete list. You might disagree with a few of them. The thing is it's hard to list a band in one genre as they may make a lot of different types of songs.

blink182 - pop/rock or punk/rock (depending on era?)

bon jovi - 80s/90s rock, rock ballad, rock

chemical brothers - electronica, trance?

eiffel 65 - electronica/pop?

green day - punk rock

offspring - punk rock (again depends on which era)

RHCP - alt rock, rock

robbie williams - male vocal, pop, britpop

blink 182, i agree, i think i'll name it Surf Punk

Bon Jovi, I'll put a generic "rock"

chemical brothers, electronica seems right

eiffel 65, as above

green day, punk seems a bit over the top... what about surf punk?

offspring, i think surf punk is better than punk rock for them

rhcp, rock is good

robbie williams, pop or britpop is right



what about the others? expecially benny benassi, bloodhound gang and the muse?

They're not always "perfect": Rammstein was, for a time, tagged as "Rock" in my iTunes–which, to me, it's not. Ditto Cannibal Corpse and Coldplay.

That said, Adone, try running a search on those bands through Last.fm and check out some of the tags people give 'em. There are some pretty die-hard audiophiles on there who class and sub-class every artist. You'll probably find something that clicks.

Go to www.allmusic.com and search for whatever band you're curious about and they will give you a very extensive list of genres and subcategories.
