i say rockabilly
it's everything. it's the begining of rock, and it's country, and hard rock, and punk, and it sometimes has the horror that metal has.
it's awesome.

I chose singer songwriter. Even though I like all kinds of rockmusic. I searched my collection, and I could find more singer songwriter albums, then anything else. But I also like Rockabilly, and blues rock. Surf is really cool too. Actually, it's hard to choose

Whats Rockabilly?

-

Early rock form (although some still record it today), it has many elements of country music and is often rollicking in nature... It has a much more vibrant nature to it compared to regular country music... It's pretty much a pure meld of fast paced older style country and rock...

I think its obvious now to anyone that pays attention to my posts that my favorite genre is industrial rock, so I put other. Should I have made my choice experimental? Is that where industrial Rock belong?

interesting. Sorta like some Grateful Dead stuff?

-

No, not exactly... Rockabilly has few elements of experimentation... While the Dead played country Rock, Rockabilly is a bit different genre all together... It's hillbilly music with a rock structure (and usually a rock style of singing)... Rockabilly has been called a southern fried version of original R&B... Rockabilly pioneer Carl Perkins once described his brand of music as "a country man's song with a black man's rhythm."

What are some of the groups that fall under your discription of Industrial Rock? I would think that Industrial Rock falls into the Alternative genre.

Have you ever heard The Stray Cats? They were part of the Neo-Rockabilly scene in the 80's. The production was much better on The Cat's LP's but the style was pretty much the same.

I voted surf. Its awesome.
