Reader Participation Music Meme

1. Name a genre, subgenre, kind, or style of music, and I'll tell you my five favorite artists or albums in that category.

Then, you recommend another one to me!

(I'm bored of the songs on my iPod and I want some well-directed suggestions.) Thanks in advance! And pass this meme on, that's what it's for, plus you might get some good suggestions for yourself. It would also work for movies, books, almost anything, I guess.

Example: You comment with "classic rock." I reply "The Beatles, The Kinks, The Who, David Bowie, Queen." You reply to me "Hey, you should get the Las Vegas Circus Soundtrack that's all new mixes of Beatles songs!" (I already have it, but this is just an example._

I'm flattered that you think I would know anything about this genre. Perhaps you could recommend something for beginners?

Nice.
1. Nirvana Nevermind
2. Nirvana In Utero
3. Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream
4. Nirvana Bleach
5. The Fluid Purplemetalflakemusic

I was never a fan of the Pearl Jam/Mother Love Bone/Green River/Temple of the Dog/Alice in Chains type of stuff.

I consider Soundgarden to be a metal band, frequently misclassified as grunge. (and I'm a fan of theirs)

Bouncy and/or funky songs from any era that make you feel happy and make you feel like you want to dance.

Classical (and if you need me to be more specific- the Baroque period).

I didn't need you to be more specific! The only baroque I know is JS Bach. Broadening that a little (to include things I've heard of):

1. Fur Elise
2. Moonlight Sonata
3. Rites of Spring
4. The Four Seasons
5. Other stuff I might have heard on the Cosmos Soundtrack.

Check out Solomon Burke, the old r and b guy, singing "Does my ring burn your finger." Also The Bottle Rockets-try The Brooklyn Side cd, Steve Earle--try Copperhead Road.
