Ep. 169 - Top 10 Global Music Genres

Send us a text

What happens when your trusty co-host bails on you last minute? Well, you embrace the chaos and steer the ship solo! Join me, Scott McLean, as I embark on an unexpected adventure through the global soundscape without my usual partner-in-crime, Jack. Our "dysfunctional podcast relationship" takes center stage with a hearty dose of humor and a touch of introspection, as I dive into the world of music genres, from the electrifying riffs of metal to the rhythmic beats of reggaeton. You won't want to miss the nostalgic laughter over my classic Cadillac Eldorado tales and the quirky banter with our loyal listeners like Big Head Todd and Patty.

Ever wondered what unites salsa dancers and metalheads? It's the universal language of music, and we're charting it all—a melodic journey through ten genres that shape our world. Take a sonic tour that kicks off with metal's thunderous allure, glides into alternative and indie's eclectic vibes, and sways to the Latin and reggaeton rhythms. Whether it's the storytelling soul of country or the infectious energy of EDM, each genre is a chapter in the global playlist, and we're here to celebrate it with personal anecdotes and a bit of comic relief.

As we crescendo into the top spots, witness the transformative power of hip-hop and rap, and revel in the catchy dominion of pop music, the reigning champ. I'm here to share not just the music but the memories and stories that give each note its heartbeat. With Morrissey's words echoing, "the pleasure, the privilege is mine," this episode closes with gratitude and anticipation for our next rendezvous. So, tune in for a mix of music, humor, and heartfelt connection that promises to strike a chord with every listener.

Well, you know, I'm retired, so for me every day is
like Sunday.
So it's really.
You know, you were retired fora second, literally, and well, I
had all the Jack jokes all fora second, literally, and well,
you know you had your reasons.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
I had all the Jack jokes all lined up.
I was all ready to say Jack isback, the third or the nothing.
I got nothing.
I got nothing.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
See, he just sets up to disappoint and as we're
talking, Patty Yossi says it'snot you, Scott, it's them.
See it's.
But I get sucked into the cycle, so I don't know.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Well, you got Dave, Patty and myself.
We're all here to support you,so we're all good.
Hi Patty, Hi Dave, Good to seeyou all.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
All right.
So tonight I'm talking aboutthe top 10 genres in the world.
Like there's thousands ofgenres of music and sub-genres,
right, thousands and thousands.
Can you give me off the top ofyour head what you think the top
10,?
Not in any particular order,because that would be asking too
much of you, but off the top ofyour head, what are the top 10,

(06:06):
do you think?
Music genres in the world.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
So there's only really two that really matter,
and that is alternative 80s andalternative 90s-ish.
So alternative is one.
The rest of it is crap.
So just you, just you can makethe show really really short,
spend you know good 20 minutes,talk about that and then just

(06:32):
call it a night.
You're so fucked, jesus christ,you have in in New England and
stuff for Van Halen, and all ofthat In New England.

(06:53):
Why can't you just say Boston?
The show would be amazing.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
What happened to my face?
Hold on, there we go.
Why, why?
New England?
Just say Boston.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Well, because you didn't spend all your time in
boston.
Well, I really went throughthere's boston, there's I heard
the cod, the cape, I've heardall of these places.
And then you start talkingabout all of these restaurants
and bars and things that you andyour brother uh got, went and
got drunk at and everythingthose were all in Boston for the

(07:27):
most part.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, you, evidently you're like Jack, you
overanalyze things.
That's why you were a policechief, I guess, and I wasn't.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
I was Long, long, many, many moons ago.
Now I'm just some lonely oldbum working out in the morning,
eating chocolate and bonbons allday and watching folks.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
That's my life.
You're the metal peg Bundy thatactually works out.
Is that what?

Speaker 4 (07:56):
you said that's right , that's right, yeah, just a
little bit Come on.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
You know more about music than that.
Give me some more that youthink are on this top ten list.
Like alternative.
You said alternative.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
There's two more that deserve honorable mention.
That's country and western.
In this club we play both kindsof music country and western.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Right, okay, yeah, well, you're really disappointed
.
I could probably have DavePhillips, yeah Well, yeah, you
really, you really disappoint.
Like I could probably have DavePhillips, king of the 45s, come
on, he'd start rattling, butunlike him, you're just the king
of the 45s, I'm king of thebonbons.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
I mean, I don't even know why he even decided to ask
me those questions.
I'm just this again just somelong-winded bomb here in
California, that's it.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
And I can vouch for Big Head Todd sent me.
He actually donated his recordcollection to my record
collection of donated recordcollections and it was pretty
much nothing before 1980.
Maybe says something from 79and nothing after 1989 that's

(09:07):
true.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Hey, there was a sugar hill gang in there, so
that was what I mean.
That was, you had a littleearlier yeah, and then there was
, uh, what god?
I can't remember what the otherone was hey, let me ask you a
question.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Let me ask you a question have you ever gone over
a friend's house to eat and thefood just ain't no good?
Not at your house, man bestthanksgiving ever.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Have you ever gone over a friend's house to eat and
the food just ain't no good.
Not at your house, man.
Best Thanksgiving ever See.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
I led you on to that one.
That's from the show.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
You don't go to the McLean household or McVera 2.0
castle and not leave without afull stop, so that is a fact.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
This is true Even when it's just me and Dr Vera.
I cook for at least five.
I don't know how to cook small.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
You need to get another job just to take care of
that appetite of yours.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Well, listen, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, my my,
foundation your blood work isperfect and my, my, my one man,
one mic foundation.
My veteran foundation keeps mebusy enough now and the vets
connection podcast, so I don'tneed it really.
Another job, no, thank you so,so what?

Speaker 4 (10:22):
what's gonna happen with?
Is he going to come back or ishe just going to not show up?
Because I am Jack's only fan?
He has one, that's it.
It's me.
The constant banter between thetwo of you is extremely
entertaining, and that comesfrom a lifelong friendship.
Is he coming back or not?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't
know.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
I'm an abused podcast host.
Huh, give me his number.
I'm calling him right now, yeahokay, it's 617.
I'm sure he'd love you to givehis number over there hey hey,
big head Todd, Look, look Mark,big boss.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Man Flynn, just pumped in, says he likes Jack
too.
So you got competition.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
The only reason that he even knows who Jack is is
because he got on Google andGoogled his name.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Now I get somebody asking April, Bernard asking
where's Amanda, who cares?

Speaker 4 (11:22):
What is that?
Hey, that was an amazingepisode.
She added a little bit of youthto the show and finally a
little bit of beauty, becauseyou can't do it, you don't have
beauty.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Hey, I am At 61, I'm still a handsome bastard.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
That's right.
Just, dr Beard, just pull themirrors out of the house.
She keeps telling you that.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
That's all I need.
As long as she likes it, Idon't care about anybody else.
As long as I keep her happy andshe says I'm her handsome man,
then I'm good.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
You got me on the air right now and I just want to
set the record straight.
The Ramones suck, and thereason why is because in Davis,
california, in 1992, I saw themlive in concert and they were
the absolute worst.
Their hair was all pulled downin front of them, the social
distortion opened up for themand they were amazing.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, that's your band yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
But then I watched the Ramones to say, yeah, I went
to go see the Ramones, this isgoing to be great.
And I showed up.
Their hair was pulled down infront of them.
It could have been anybody upthere, as far as I know and as
far as I can tell, they wereabout as stoned out as they're
out of their mind or drugged outor whatever it was, and they
played the same song over andover and over, and over again.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
I'm gonna play jack whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa,
whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,whoa, whoa, whoa what do you
mean?

Speaker 4 (12:41):
they laid the foundation for all these other
bands to follow, isn't that?

Speaker 1 (12:49):
but isn't that rock and roll?
Isn't that punk rock?
Doesn't that whoa, whoa.
You know you can't make thatdetermination just based on one
show.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah hey, I've heard
him do it himself, so listen.
So I listened to series f, x,xm and uh.
First wave channel 33, andevery single time the ramones is
played which they do it toooften I change the channel hey,
hey, let me ask a question.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Uh, mock bro, dude talent.
Uh, he, he loves to tour them.
He puts green day.
What do you think of that pieceof shit band they.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
They need to move to Canada or wherever else they
decided that they wanted to moveto because they hate America.
Isn't that where they said thatthey hated America?
They're more proud of them.
Then go somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
It's fine, it doesn't matter to me, isn't their music
just fucking repetitivebullshit, like it's the same
tune, just different.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (13:43):
There's nothing original to them.
Yeah, they copied the remotes.
I change the channel wheneverthey come up too.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Thank you, thank you, so fuck you.
Mach Bro Dude Talent.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
I said it.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
So what?
Yeah, no, Green Day is notworth your time.
No, you know, I do know moreabout music than I'm letting on,
but you know it's your show andI have my own opinions, and so
all I know is hey, look mydaughter, who is 15 years old.
We're driving in the car andshe put on two songs in a row,

(14:18):
one Nirvana and two Radiohead,and I was like I couldn't have
been prouder.

I have to take it over to myother studio in delray beach,
florida, just a half a mile infrom the beach, and I have to
use that for my vets connectionpodcast interviews, and
sometimes the settings get alittle out of whack, and so they

(15:02):
they were for like the lastcouple weeks, yeah, well, so but
now, someday I'm gonna show up,someday I'm gonna show up at
your castle and take a picturewith the hulk, uh, then to see

Speaker 4 (15:14):
So I know my gut's bigger, but I'm gonna see miles
or bigger than that life-sizestatue of the hulk there all

Speaker 1 (15:21):
He's being very modest.
See, this dude is a fuckinganimal.

When I met him and everybody'sheard the stories I said this

They got he's a big dude, but Ididn't give a fuck.
I'm afraid of you.
I'm just good for backgroundnoise when you're, when there's

(15:44):
a problem and you need there'svery few people in this world
that I would look at with mutualrespect and if it came to that
situation, you were, you wereone of a very, very, very small
few that I, that I, I give themutual respect.
Nod, yeah, yeah, we'd both comeout really hurt.
We'd both come out really hurt.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
I really only got my ass kicked one time.
It was about a 95-pound womanthat was hell-bent on killing
herself.
It was on a call for serviceand she was sweaty because of
all the drugs she took to killherself.
I was trying to wrestle her tothe ground.
She reared back, kicked me inthe jaw and I got permanent TMJ
because of it and it's a goodstory to tell my dentist, but

(16:28):
that's the biggest ass kicking Iever took, damn yeah, you get
fucking kicked like a mule.
That hurts yeah, scrawny,scrawny, tiny women are.
It was brutal experience and uh, I I hope I never have to do
that again.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
You never looked at a scrawny little woman.
The same again did you.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Never.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Never I'll take that 280-pound parolee.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
I'll take the 280-pound parolee all day over.
That 95-pound woman that kickedmy ass.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
There you go, there you go, all right, buddy.
Well, listen, good talking toyou.
Enjoy the rest of the show andwe'll talk again.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
All right, All right brother, great show.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Bye, bye.
There you go.
Big head Todd the Wet Sprocket.
There you go.
While we're doing this, let metry something else, let me see
something.
Let me see how come I don'thave it.

(17:30):
I thought I had it.
Yeah, I guess I don't.
I was gonna call somebody else,but nah, that's all right.
So I haven't done this becausebecause of jack, I like putting
on my little background musicwhen I'm uh, there you go, just
a little background that youknow, keeps those, those pauses.
A little break in that, right,all right, so so let's get this

(17:53):
started.
I have tonight the top 10 musicgenres worldwide.
All right, music genresworldwide, all right, and I have
a little breakdown of each oneand I have some types of,
because they all have sub genresto them.
So you can't really be specificwhen it comes to the top 10.

(18:15):
You have to be very broad.
So it's top 10 genres.
Okay, so we'll kick it off atnumber 10.
The number 10 most popular genrein the world, worldwide, is
metal, metal music.
You think it might have been upa little more, maybe, right,

(18:36):
and I love these littledescriptions that I got with it.
Metal, heavy use of electricguitars, often with distortion.
Aggressive vocal styles,including growls and screams.
I love that, including growlsand screams.
Who the fuck growls?
What is this shit?

(18:58):
Okay?
Uh, complex song structureswith intricate solos, which is
good, that's, that's valid.
Themes often include fantasy,darkness and rebellion.
Isn't music in general,rebellious, if you think about
it?
Now I'm gonna give you some subgenres in the metal genre.

(19:20):
Like I said, each one has a lotof sub genres.
So in the metal category wehave heavy metal, thrash metal,
death metal, black metal, doommetal, power metal, progressive
metal, metalcore.
That's a fusion of metal andhardcore punk.

(19:42):
I don't know.
Killswitch, engage as I LayDying.
A couple of bands, post metal,folk metal.
Did you know that there wasfolk metal Like folk music?
The description isincorporating traditional folk
music elements.
Folk metal often featuresinstruments like flutes and

(20:06):
fiddles alongside heavy metalinstrumentation.
Bands like Fintroll andEluvitit are known for the I've
never.
Who the fuck puts flutes,although Jethro Tull did get
voted best heavy metal band thefirst year that category came
out.
We'll never forget that one,will we?

(20:28):
Industrial metal Ministry, nineInch Nails, gothic metal, new
metal so that's like Korn LinkinPark.
You know the Deftones.
Limp Bizkit was in that.
Nu metal kind of thing.
I personally like nu metal.

(20:49):
I like it Symphonic metal andsludge metal.
Sludge metal what the fuck?
How do you like combiningelements of doom metal and
hardcore punk, combiningelements of doom metal and
hardcore punk?
Sludge metal is characterizedby heavy, slow riffs and a raw,

(21:10):
gritty sound.
That's where the growling comesin, I guess in sludge metal.
I guess maybe they growl, Idon't know.
Bands like I Hate God, crowbar,androbar are notable genres.
So metal is the 10th mostpopular music genre, worldwide
Number nine.
Wow, I thought this would be upin the list a little more than

(21:35):
this.
Alternative in indie Wow, bigHead Todd can't be happy with
being number nine.
You know, it's alternativeslash indie.
They kind of I guess I don'tknow if they're the same, but

(21:56):
it's just the way the list cameup.
So alternative slash indie it'sdescribed as diverse sound,
often straying from mainstreamconventions, emphasis on
artistic expression andexperimentation, varied
instrumentation, from acousticto electric.

(22:18):
Lyrics can be introspective andabstract, exploring niche themes
.
Most lyrics are abstract.
I mean that doesn't really saymuch.
I mean most song lyrics areabstract, a lot of shit that
don't make sense.
You've heard me say it in thepast.
Some of Bruce Springsteen'slyrics don't make any fucking

(22:40):
sense at all.
But you know people listen.
Dave Phillips King of the 45s.
He wrote in reggae, classicrock, rhythm and blues, pop,
jazz, country, yacht rock.
See, yacht rock falls underrock.
Country rock could fall underrock.
Southern rock falls under rock.

(23:01):
So you would just say rock.
Southern rock falls under rock.
So you would just say rock.
Classic rock falls under rock,and that might be on the list.
I'm sure rock is on the list.
So the three that you kind ofafford is five Reggae, rock,
rhythm and blues, pop, jazz andcountry.
Okay, we'll see.

(23:22):
Motown is R&B and soul.
That's Dave Phillips' King ofthe 45s, in Motown too.
That's a subgenre.
All of those other ones aresubgenres.
So the different genres, thesubgenres of alternative indie
include indie rock,post-punkpunk, grunge, shoegaze,

(23:46):
which I like.
I like shoegaze and thedescription is known for its
ethereal soundscapes, heavy useof electric guitar effects and
dreamy vocals.
Shoegaze often creates a wallof sound.
Bands like bloody, my bloodyvalentine, slow drive are iconic
in this genre and I, I do likeshoegaze.
Uh, then you have brit pop.

(24:08):
You know, the oasis and blurwere probably the two biggest
names in brit pop.
Uh, which is over in england.
Uh, dave phillips, king of the45s, it's ska, we'll see.
Uh, folk, we all know that.
Alternative hip hop I don'tknow if I would put that that

(24:29):
would be a subgenre of hip hop,not alternative indie.
Gothic rock, the Cure, suzy andthe Banshees goth rock, but
that's a form of alternative,right Experimental rock, the
Velvet Underground, new Wave wegrew up in New Wave, for most of
my listeners, I believe, andthat still hangs around.

(24:54):
Math rock what the fuck is mathrock?
Known for its complex rhythms,odd time signatures and
intricate guitar work.
Math Rock emphasizesmusicianship and often has
instrumental tracks.
Bands like Don Caballero andBattles are key examples.

(25:14):
Let me you know what?
What the fuck is Math Rock?
Let me pull this up.
Let me go with.
Who's this?
Don Caballero.
Don, let's play a song and seewhat we can come up with.
Don C-A-B-A-L-L-E-R.

(25:36):
Oh, let's see what this mathrock shit is all about.
All right America.
Let's see what his number, hisbiggest download.
So he has one song it's got 1.5million downloads.
Another one 2.5 milliondownloads.
Let's see what this song is.
This is called RailroadCancellation by Don Caballero,

(26:02):
math Rock.
Not bad.
So far it's not bad.
I like the rhythm to it.

(26:23):
Got good pacing.
Let's see.
I don't know if it's aninstrumental, if the dude starts
singing or what.
Let's see, I don't know.

(26:44):
I kind of like this though.
Yeah.
But it's not going anywhere.
It just doesn't go anywhere.
It just keeps.
It's redundant, Unlesssomething changes.
All right, this one's for MarkTal, bro Dude Talent.

(27:09):
This song's called the PeterChris Jazz Drumming from Kiss.
Is Peter Chris right, and Idon't know.
This is less than a.
I don't know, I'm not going towaste any more time on this.
Let me jump ahead.
Let me see, that's a change.

(27:31):
What's he got on him?
A fucking, a hydraulic drill?
No, well, that's garbage.
I could do that shit, I coulddo this shit.

(27:51):
That's garbage.
All right, started off, okay,now it's horrible.
Let's get back to this dream.
Pop, emo, psychedel, rock andsurf rock are all sub-genres of
alternative indie rock.

I really fell in love with,like about four years ago I fell
in love with bossa nova music,and I'll give you that
description A Brazilian genrethat blends samba with jazz

(29:22):
influences.
Bossa nova is known for itssmooth melodies and soft vocals.
Notable artists include YaolGilberto and Antonio Carlos
Jobim.
Yeah, go listen to some bossanova man, you won't be
disappointed if you like that.
Nice, smooth, and it's not jazz.
It's not like that fuckingAmerican jazz.

(29:43):
I hate that shit.
But yeah, then you got Latinjazz and ranchera.
So that's the number eight mostpopular genre in the world.
The number seven, number sevenmost popular genre worldwide is

(30:04):
reggaeton.
Yeah, reggaeton, reggaeton,yeah, reggaeton, reggaetony
reggaeton.
Reggaeton has danceable beats,often with a dembow rhythm.
Use of Spanish lyrics andthemes related to culture and
lifestyle.
Fusion of influences from Latinmusic, hip hop and dancehall.

and reggaeton.
West Coast, east Coast.
All right, getting down tonumber six.
He's a ghost.
All right, getting down tonumber six, the number six most
popular.
This is odd Worldwide.

(31:12):
The number six most popularmusic genre worldwide is country
, country.
I wouldn't even think thatwould be on a list for worldwide
, but evidently it is.
Yeah, so you got country music,which is storytelling, lyrics,

(31:33):
often about life, love andhardship, use of acoustic
instruments like guitars, banjosand fiddles.
Throw an electric guitar inthere and you got fucking metal.
Folk metal, simple songs,structures and catchy melodies,
subgenres like country pop,americana and bluegrass.
And speaking of the subculturesin this, you got traditional

(31:57):
country, you got bluegrass, yougot honky tonk.
Outlaw country that came out inthe 70s.
Outlaw country became famousback in the 70s with Waylon
Jennings and Willie Nelson.
They were like the kings, orthey were the OGs, of outlaw

(32:19):
country.
Country rock.
You know of outlaw country.
Yeah, country rock, you know.
So do you consider?
Do you consider the Eaglescountry rock?
Would you consider them countryrock?
I don't think so, but they arelisted in that list of country
rock subgenres and I don't thinkso because you got Leonard

(32:42):
Skinner and I mean there's a lotof them.
Allman Brothers you can get outon the line 38 Special, but to
throw the Eagles in there, Idon't think so.
I think they just rock.
When sometimes they have acountry twist, patty says no, I

(33:04):
don't think so either.
You know they sing songs likeel dorado and desperado el
dorado.
Well, it's probably a goodthing jack isn't here.
When I said that, what did youjust say?
Did you just say Eldorado?
Speaking of Eldorados, I had abeautiful Apollo Yellow 1972

(33:29):
Eldorado Cadillac, cadillac,eldorado.
With milk chocolate interior.
The thing was literally like 16and a half feet long, had a 491
cubic inch engine.
This thing was a fuckinglanyard.
I loved that car, but I don'tknow if you've ever dealt with

(33:53):
an old car.
An old car costs new money.
That was, that was yeah, thatwas the end of that.
It lasted a while, though.
I had it for a couple years.
It was uh, but yeah, you dumpmoney into it and there's always
another problem.
But it was a beautiful,beautiful Cadillac.

(34:13):
Someday I'll get another one.
Someday we'll be together, meand my 72.
It was a 73, I think it was a 73Eldorado.
I do like the 72 CadillacEldorados, though they changed
the whole design from 72 to 73.
If you watch, if you have everwatched the movie the Devil's

(34:38):
Rejects, the Rob Zombie movie,they drove around in a 72
Cadillac Eldorado.
Yeah, yeah, convertible, that'swhat mine was a convertible.
And 73, they changed the wholedesign.
They gave it a more roundededge.
They had the egg crate grill.
Beautiful cars, beautiful.

(35:00):
I used to pull up to those.
I'd drive around FortLauderdale and shit like that
and I would pull up next tothese, like you know, $160,000
cars, these, whatever they were,lamborghinis and Rolls and
Porsches and all of them, and Iwould pull up next to them at a
red light and they always,always, gave respect to that car

(35:20):
, always.
Yeah, I'll have another onesomeday, I'll have another one.
Yeah, country.
So Country comes in at numbersix, which is, I would have
thought, Alternative would havecome in before Latin.
Well, maybe not Latin, but Ithought it would come in before

(35:43):
reggaeton and country, but itdidn't.
All right, now we're gettinginto the top five, getting into
the top five.
The top five, number five.
The fifth most popular musicgenre worldwide is and Dave

(36:07):
Phillips, king of the 45s, itwas part of his list R&B and
soul.
See, I don't like this.
I don't like like they put R&Band soul like in the same
category and it's not.
It's really not, but I guessthat's what they call it.

(36:28):
But you can just go straight.
R&b Soul isn't always in itsvice versa, but here they got it
listed as R&B slash soul.
So I think you know I don'tlike that.
I don't like that, but adescription is smooth, emotive

(36:52):
vocal delivery.
Incorporation of elements fromblues, gospel and funk.
Focus on themes of love, love,love, relationships and personal
experiences.
Rich instrumentation, oftenfeaturing horns and strings.
Well, yeah, I guess thatdescribes it.

(37:14):
And some of the sub-genres ofR&B slash soul.
You got classic R&B.
You got contemporary, like RayCharles.
You got contemporary R&B whichis like Chris Brown, usher,
beyonce, those people which I'mnot a huge fan of.

(37:36):
Contemporary R&B, really notNeo soul, so that actually is a
thing.
Erykah Badu, d'angelo, whohasn't done anything in a while,
jill Scott that's kind of NeoSoul.
It's got a little bit ofhip-hop influence in there.
I like Neo Soul, I can listento it.

(38:01):
Funk I'm a funk fan.
We all know that.
If you listen to the show for aminute, I love my funk.
You got Parliament.
Funkadelic, earth, wind, fire,ohio Players.
You can go down the line, godown the line, but I love my
funk.
You got Soul Pop line, but Ilove my funk.

(38:34):
Uh, you got soul pop.
Just soul pop is like adele amywinehouse, more modern, uh,
popish twist on soul.
Uh, you got urban&B, which is Idon't know.
I don't listen to Drake, likeDrake enough to think that he
might be in that, I don't know.
You got Dave Phillips, king ofthe 45s, commented in Yep, sly,

(38:57):
sly and the Family Stone,arguably the best funk band ever
.
Arguably I'm not saying theyare, but they are.
Arguably that it's definitelyin the conversation for the best
funk bands.
Uh, you can go sly and thefamily stone, parliament
funkadelic.
Uh, who else do you throw intothat category of best funk band?

(39:18):
You can't my boys, the ohioplayers, you can't really knock
them out of it.
Uh, you know they have a nicelittle run, but yeah, funk
they're all good.
Uh, you got psychedelic soul.

(39:39):
So this is interesting.
Dave Phillips, king of the 45s,just said Sly and the Family
Stone.
Under psychedelic soul they haveSly and the Family Stone, which
I don't, and the Temptations.
I don't see that Like.
This is where I think some ofthese lists are a little, a

(40:01):
little, I don't know, clueless.
Maybe people that put listslike this together don't know
how to categorize things.
I think, and the definition ofpsychedelic soul is blend soul
music and psychedelic rock,influences characterized by
experimental sounds and lusharrangements.

(40:21):
Um, I I have a hard timecalling it psychedelic soul
though, but I guess that's justwhat they want to.
They want to label it, but Idon't.
The temptations, really, theydon't even play instruments.
The Temptations, they havestudio bands, so how could they

(40:48):
even be in there?
That's what I mean, right?
So you get classic soul ArethaFranklin, otis Redding, marvin
Gaye, southern soul, al Greenright, al Green falls into that
Southern Soul category, chicagoSoul why does Chicago get its

(41:13):
own fucking category, subgenre?
I don't know Curtis Mayfield inthe impressions.
Steve Stevens, my man.
I don't know Curtis Mayfield inthe impressions.
Steve Stevens, my man, my man.
I'll tell you what.
Steve Stevens, while I have himon the screen, is absolutely
one of the nicest people youwill ever meet in your life.

(41:35):
This guy is so positive.
Sometimes he is such likehe's's just always been since
I've known him, since we werereally young.
It's just I gotta tell you,buddy, you are just a nice human
being, you really are man.
Um, and he knows a lot aboutmusic too.

(41:56):
Steve stevens is actually theking of cover songs, but he does
it in in, in silence.
I tried to bring him on theshow a couple of times, but he
stays.
He likes to be in thebackground.
He's that guy, but he is theking of cover songs.
He knows them all he knows thegood, the bad and the ugly cover

(42:17):
songs.
He says in regards to funk,let's not forget Parliament,
forget parliament.
Yeah, that's what I said.
Parliament, funkadelic, right,um, and so, so parliament,
joanne doyle kuzmorski, I loveyou, um, she just commented in.
So parliament was their ownthing, right, and funkadelic

(42:38):
were their own thing.
You know, funkadelic had OneNation Under a Groove and it's
George Clinton.
Excuse me, george Clinton, hebasically was both of them
Parliament, you had DrFunkenstein and we Love the Funk
, I mean.
So then they just combined,like the two bands.

(42:59):
He brought them together,created Parliament,
funkadeladelic, which is amazing.
But uh, parliament, I believe,did come first.
And steve stevens is right, youknow.
He says, uh, ah, I'm sorry,steve stevens, hold on hold on.
King of the of the cover songs,big head, todd, the wet socket
sprocket, just he like.

(43:19):
He was on the show, for I hadhim on and now he's commenting
and I left for a minute.
Are you still talking about me?
Is this guy for real, reallylike?
That's why he's big head,talking more reasons than one.
He does have a huge noggin.
It's big like.
It's, it's awkwardly bigsitting on his shoulders.

(43:40):
He really really does look likehis icon that he puts up there.
Yeah, parliament, right, butthey put them together, steve
Stevens, is it six of one, halfdozen of the other?
Really, you know what I mean.
Is there a difference in thesound?

(44:02):
Do you think between Parliamentand Funkadelic when they were
two separate entities?
You know what I mean.
Like, is there a difference inthe sound?
Do you think between Parliamentand Funkadelic when they were
two separate entities?
I don't think so.
I think they really had GeorgeClinton's fingerprint on both of
them.
So you know, tiffany thebeautiful, the beautiful Tiffany

(44:22):
, did I say the beautifulTiffany?
Van Hill Just commented insaying good evening, good
evening, beautiful Tiffany.
Steve Stevens, king of thecover songs, says thank you,

By the way, like she reallysays I, you said my name last,
but you didn't say the beautifulbefore it, so I have to say it.

(45:08):
So you know.
Mark Talent commented with a.
Is that a derogatory comment?
I don't know.
Yeah, so let's get, let'sfinish up this.

It's like the real, like it's160 to 180 beats per minute,
which is too fast for me, but itdefinitely gets that blood
pumping minute, which is toofast for me, uh, but it
definitely gets that, that bloodpumping um.
Then you get dubstep, which iskind of uh, came out of the, the
uk garage scene in the 90s.
It's very heavy, very heavy.

(59:21):
Um, a lot of heavy bass dropsin that in that music.
Electro daft punk craftwork wasthe original.
The originators, they are theogs.

It used to be everything,everything.
Rock was number one everywhereand that shows a big shift, a
big generational shift.

(01:01:09):
And who causes thesegenerational shifts?
The music industry, right, themusic industry, the people.
Just, they just listen If theylike, they follow, and then it
just gets sent in a whole otherdirection.
So, rock, you know electricguitars, bass, drums we know

(01:01:31):
what rock is.
Sub-genres of rock there'sclassic rock.
We know that.
Hard rock, acdc, aerosmith, deepPurple, punk rock, sex Pistols,
ramones, clash you know theClash is considered punk rock.
But I don't know.
I really think that they justgot put in that group, kind of

(01:01:52):
like what I say about Tesla.
Tesla got tagged as a hair band, but they're very good
musicians.
They were very good music.
They weren't like that teasedup hair, they were more like
grungier.
They didn't do all that makeupshit.
But Tesla gets put in that hairband.
They had long hair like bandsin the 60s, they weren't do all

(01:02:13):
that makeup shit, but Tesla getsput in that hair band.
They had long hair like bandsin the 60s, they weren't like
that, but they get stuck in thatgenre.
And I say that about the Clash.
The Clash got put in the punkcategory but if you listen to
their albums it's not reallypunk.
It's not punk per se.
There's a lot of reggaeinfluences in there, reggaeton
influences in there.

(01:02:34):
It's all different, like theywere a unique blend.
They're just a kind of a beastunto themselves, but they get
stuck in that punk rock thing.
So, alternative rock REM,radiohead, you know the usuals
Depeche Mode, maybe Grunge, youknow.

(01:02:56):
We know that.
Nirvana, pearl Jam, soundgarden, the Big Three, alice in Chains
I should say the Big Three.
Well, let's see, you got thefour.
Metal Metallica, iron Maiden,black Sabbath, progressive rock
Known for its complex songstructures.
Prague rock Steve Stevens, kingof the covers, agrees he says

(01:03:21):
correct about the Clash.
That's why I like them.
And you know Mick Jones.
Mick Jones went on to To createBig Audio Dynamite.
Mick Jones had a real eclecticsound.
You know, he was listening to,you know, hip-hop and funk and
all that.
That was kind of, I think, hishis influence in the band.
And when he went on to createbig audio dynamite, you could

(01:03:43):
tell in his songs that there's alot of rhythm, very rhythmic
songs uh so he kind of went offto do his own thing.
Uh, let me see, prog rock.
Is pink floyd prog rock?
Would you call pink floyd progrock?

(01:04:03):
Progressive rock maybe whenthey first started, right, but
that was more psychedelic whenthey first started, like, where
would you?
Rush is definitely prog rock.
Rush is definitely definitelyprog rock, you know?
Um, yes, yes, is prog rock.

(01:04:24):
Uh, I, I don't put pink floydin there.
Pink floyd is rock.
I don't put Pink Floyd in there.
Pink Floyd is rock.
Maybe they touched prog rock fora minute before they fucking
got launched into thestratosphere of rock and roll

(01:04:45):
history, but I wouldn't say thatprog rock.
Genesis used to be prog rock,you know?
Uh, genesis, genesis used to beused to be prog rock, but I
would put them as more.
I'd say they're more pop rock.
They were radio rock, right?
Genesis once Thank God, andthis is funny because Jack and I

(01:05:06):
talked about this last weekOnce fucking overrated Peter
Gabriel left the band.
They became more listenable andthen they just became like radio
rock.
So it's just pop rock and theygot some great music.

(01:05:26):
There's no doubt.
I'm not taking anything awayfrom them, but I would not put
them in prog rock, like I said,when they started with with
peter gabriel and he's all thatfucking artist bullshit.
I hate, I fucking hate whenbands did that.
They tried like performance artduring their fucking shows and
that's why I really started tonot like Styx and and there's

(01:05:50):
some other bands.
I mean, the only real goodperformance art that you had on
stage was Kiss.
But Kiss was what they were,right, they what were.
They were Kabuki makeup andthey were originators of that
shit.
So you can't really uh, uh, Ican't really knock that.
Uh, alice Cooper had had that,but his was like shock, shock

(01:06:11):
and awe, right, and that's whatevery fucking
testosterone-driven teenager inthe 70s was all about.
Was that that Ted Nugent shit?
And Alice Cooper could hit thatnerve in a teenager.
What was one of his songs?
Teenage Lament 79, I think, butI don't know.

(01:06:37):
I just I digress.
But the Genesis, yeah, maybeoriginally prog rock, but not
really.
Then you got indie rock likethe Arctic Monkeys.
That's probably like you know,you got the strokes, but I I
don't really follow too much,but uh, then you got post rock.

(01:06:58):
Post rock uh, I don't even knowwhat the fuck post rock is.
I never heard of it.
John emphasizes atmosphere andtexture over traditional song
structures.
Post rock often featuresinstrumental compositions and
experimental sounds.
So in other words, it's fuckinggarbage.
It's garbage rock.

(01:07:19):
That's what I call thatPost-rock.
People make shit up you knowwhat and I guarantee you that's
what it is.
We don't really have, we're notthis.
So we're just going to make upa subgenre and we're going to
call it our own and we're goingto call it.
It's post-rock.
Dude, get the fuck out of herewith post-rock, get the fuck.

(01:07:40):
I've never heard any fuckingbands create it that would call
themselves post-rock.
Maybe because post-rock is suchgarbage it doesn't ever make it
anywhere.
Good luck being a post-rock issuch garbage, it doesn't ever
make it anywhere.
Good luck being a post-rockband.
Yeah, working at the fuckingpost office during the day?
Post office rock.
Look at me, see, I don't needJack.

(01:08:04):
Fuck Jack.
Post-rock, that's post-officerock.
That's what it is Actually.
Post-off Office Rock might bebetter than Post Rock.
I don't know.
They had Southern Rock thatbroke in the 70s, you know.
So.
You had Southern Rock broke inthe 70s.
Then the 90s come along and itbecame country pop, pop, country

(01:08:30):
right, it's garbage, it's stillgarbage.
I know Mark Tao, bro dude, hefucking likes that.
Country pop shit, pop, countryshit.
I don't get it.
I don't get it.
But Garage rock, you know theWhite Stripes, the Stooges, you

(01:08:50):
know them.
Folk rock Fucking folk rock.
Bob Dylan, simon, goff, uncle,mumford Sons I didn't even like
Mumford Sons.
I think that Mumford Sons werea fucking.

(01:09:11):
They were one of those, likeyou know, flash in the pan.
Oh, look, they're different.
And then that was that.
They were done.
I don't know New Wave.
You know Depeche Mode, blondie,emo, steve Stevens, king of the

(01:09:31):
cover songs, uh, comments.
