What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
Wow, one of the the pioneers of grindcore and you don't even recognize them as such? Whatsamattayou, one of those guys that cried METALLICA when Swansong came out? Wuss.
I'm just messing around, don't take it too personally.
Board
A role model to mankind:
:Smug: But anyway, I copied the categories from the first post and added some more:
Death Metal- If Opeth categorizes, I'll choose them. If they don't I guess I'll choose Death.
Prog-Metal- If Opeth categorizes, I'll choose them. If they don't I guess I'll choose Dream Theater or the Danish band Behind The Curtain.
Old Thrash- Megadeth I guess. I have two records by them and it's the only thrash I have except Machine Head's first, Testament's first (only 1 good song IMO) & two Pantera records.
New Thrash- That would probably be Machine Head or Pantera then if that's allowed.
Black Metal- Burzum or Satyricon, probably Burzum
Melodic Death- Dark Tranquility's "The gallery" is the only thing I have in that genre.
Traditional Metal- Iron Maiden
Classic Rock- This is tougher, as I mostly listen to old shit. Maybe Jethro Tull or Procul Harum. There's lots of old rock stuff that's cool, but not so many that categorizes as favorite bands by me. "Classic rock" is also a wide subject. I guess what is meant is just rock from before the 80's, so there's loads of stuff that I find good, Supertramp, Mannfred Mann's Earth Band, Beatles, Cris Williamson and so on.
Prog. rock - Yes or Camel
Gothic metal - The Gathering's "Mandylion" (the only record I really like by them). First 3rd and The Mortal LP, two first Theatre of Tragedy LP.
Heavy Gothic rock - Type O Negative
Pop - Dusty Springfield perhaps. She has made some superb stuff, but also some crap (but so has most)!
Country-pop - Lee Hazlewood (some of his stuff is just straight pop and he's clearly my favorite artist!)
Country - Lee Hazlewood (some of his stuff is more or less just straight country!)
Folk-music - Hedningarna
Funk - P-Funk (Parliament, Funkadelic, Bootsy's Rubber Band, George Clinton, Zapp, etc.)
Soul - Marvin Gaye + some of The Isley Brother's stuff is soul and some of their stuff is funk.
Soul/funk - Minnie Riperton. Maybe Isley Brothers.
Afro-Funk - Manu Dibango or Osibisa
Soundtrack music - John Barry (I've also recently gained a great interest in Alberto Iglesias)
Jazz - Probably Oscar Peterson. Teddy Wilson's version of "'Round midnight" is clearly the best jazz song I've heard my entire life though! A fantastic song!
Jazz-Funk - Bob James or maybe Grover Washington, Jr.
Psych. rock - Iron Butterfly maybe or Pink Floyd. Most bands I have records by in that genre have stuff that's cool and stuff that's just too fucked-up tripped-out to listen to. It's an Earache sometimes!
Porno-pop - Sade
Spiritual - Dead Can Dance (if they categorize as that)
Disco - Maybe Evelyn "Champagne" King or Patrice Rushen. The most disco stuff I have is records with one or two good songs and the rest is gross fill. Van McCoy's "Disco Baby" is probably the best disco record I've heard. Another contender for that title is Michael Jackson's "Off the wall".
Classical - Mozart's "Requiem" is easily the best classical record I have, but Bizet, Bach & Rachmaninov has also done some good stuff.
Drum n' bass - NONE!!!! Do you hear me? N-O-N-E!!!!!!!!!!
Techno - When I say techno, I MEAN techno, not euro-dance, Scooter or shit like that! I'm talking Goa/Trance stuff! Inscape's "Nothing like a good friend" was the only thing I found in that genre I truly liked, some of the other stuff I could listen to, but prefered not. Now I wouldn't buy it/listen to it
Eurodance - Hhmm...I gotta think about this. When I was into hip hop/trip hop/house/downbeat I guess there was some stuff I liked in that genre, but I'm not into those 4 genres anymore.
Hip hop - Kurtis Blow's "Way out west" is the only hip hop single I haven't taken out of my collection (it's a b-side though) and the only rap song I would consider putting on nowadays.
Musical - Gershwin's "Porgy & Bess"!! It also spawned the greatest song ever to be written in the history of music IMO, "Summertime"!!
80's "hair" metal - Guns N' Roses
Punk - Hellacopters, if they categorize. They're the only "punk" band I listen to. The only other punksongs I can come up with is The Ramones' "Sedated" and The Clash's "Rock the Kashbah" that I remotely want to listen to.
Trip hop - When I was into it my favorite lp was probably Tricky's "Maxinquae" and Moloko maybe my favorite group, but as I said earlier I'm not into that stuff anymore.
House - Cassius, although I'm not into that stuff anymore either.
Downbeat - Amon Tobin, although I'm not into that stuff anymore either.
Easy listening - Ray Conniff's version of "Summertime" is without a doubt the best version of the best song I've ever heard!! His own "A love is born" is also superb!
Blues - BB King's "The thrill is gone" is probably the best blues song I've heard. John Lee Hooker's "The healer" is also superb!
Latin - Santana's two first records are cool, but they're more bluesy rock with a latin influence than latin. Edmundo Ros has done some good songs. Henry Mancini's "Norma la de Guadalajara" is also cool, although mr. Mancini's usually not considered a latin artist.
Samba - I only have one record by Miriam Makeba that would probably fit in this category and it has one or maybe two good tracks.
Grunge - Soundgarden. The only band that I really still listen to (although I also have Pearl Jam's "VS" LP).
Acid rock - The Nice probably. One of the most crazy and tripped-out bands that I have records by. Some of their stuff is nice, but some of their stuff sounds really like they were high on LSD in the studio and didn't knew what they were doing.
Robot pop - This is what Kraftwerk calls their music and they're also the best (and only) band in that genre IMO!
Electronic pop - I have an LP by Cocteau Twins that has one good song, but maybe I'll grow tired of that like I have with all other electronic crap!
I don't know if there's more genres that I have (or know). Some genres can be widely expanded. For instance pop; I have 60's pop mostly, but also french pop like Zizi Jeanmaire, Mireille Mathieu and so on. Also the rock thing could be wider. Psych, folk, singer/songwriter, etc. Also the folk thing. I have native American stuff, Icelandic folk, Faroe Island folk, Romanian folk, etc. I could continue but won't!

Oh so now I must suppose that there's a guru that creates genres?
Well you know what? there's no such thing. Just because there's a new genre on the scene does that mean that is not a real genre? years ago Death metal didn't even exist, the same goes for thrash.
Early Death wasn't melodic death metal, it was plain and simple death metal, but think what you want.
See this? I don't even agree with the classification, but who cares? all this genre bullshit always end up on discussions.
Wrong
Who cares if the starter of this thread used the terms ''old thrash'' ''new thrash''? they aren't even real genres anyway. It's hard enough for me to choose a favorite band from a certain genre, so using those terms makes it easier for me.
Sorry, but the way you expressed yourself seemed like you were bitching.
Bottom line: Genres are used so you can classify bands. It's easier knowing what type of bands (what genre) you like, so you don't have to waste your money on bands you don't like. There's no need to take all this genre bullshit so seriously.

It seems that you want to get into an argument for the sake of arguing, am I right?
Read my post again and perhaps you'll understand.I'm talking about Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy to be more specific. Now do you want to continue your theory?

Wow, that really must be the slaughtering of every grindbore band ever to be set on this pitiful planet.
Carcass could be looked at as raw death metal ( that is, before Mike Amott turned them into a bunch of pussies.
Anyways, good luck translating this to Arabic, you unnaitive queef.

Warning-You asked
Because I don't classify those albums as death metal, they are thrash (technical thrash if you want to be more specific) i'm not saying I don't like those albums (I love them) but they aren't death metal.
