YankeeDudel: Under Appreciated Genres

YankeeDudel 04.10.13	So yea just a couple overlooked genres on sputnik. Could have added a bunch more but if you arent familiar with any of these genres these are some good starting points.
Calc 04.10.13	neofolk sounds interesting
YankeeDudel 04.10.13	Thats cuz it is
solongatlast 04.10.13	Free jazz and neofolk are under-appreciated? On sputnik I guess...
YankeeDudel 04.10.13	what about it
YankeeDudel 04.10.13	and yes i said on sputnik.
Cygnatti 04.10.13	been meaning to get on dat no wave, son. doesn't seem like there's a whole bunch of it out there though.
kitsch 04.10.13	What gothic country? Interested, if only to debunk it as a misnomer. Plus, that is some incredibly entry level no wave and some of it is coldwave.
Cygnatti 04.10.13	crazy how popular post punk and 80s/90s indie rock is on rym. too cray
kitsch 04.10.13	Theres loads of no wave even a no wave revival in the 90s based in providence, RI
kitsch 04.10.13	No its not bcuz rym is more elite and postpunk is the pinnacle of popular music.
YankeeDudel 04.10.13	ha entry level no wave. most of those albums have like 4 ratings here. thats the point of this list stupid. to get more people into the genre.
Cygnatti 04.10.13	imagine a sputworld where post punk is revered like metal and indie...
solongatlast 04.10.13	if you rearrange postpunk it almost spells sputnik. True story.
Cygnatti 04.10.13	"if you rearrange postpunk it almost spells sputnik. True story." omg, just remove a p, and replace the o with an i!
JamieTwort 04.10.13	Nice list bro. I dig RIO, Neofolk, Zeuhl and Avant-Prog. Good to see 45 on here.
demigod! 04.10.13	No-wave sounds pretty promising. I'll have to check that comp.
YankeeDudel 04.10.13	Nice Jamie. You should check out some No Wave. Cant go wrong with that No New York comp. Just a small collection of 4 songs each from 4 diff bands produced by Eno.
Jethro42 04.10.13	3, 6, 26 and 43 agreed
YankeeDudel 04.10.13	Rock it jethro!! Man theres so many more I could have included. Anything Jazz or Classical related especially is insanely overlooked here though. Also Krautrock, Industrial, Post-Punk, Free Improv, and such. Basically all cool experimental stuff.
SweetSerenity 04.10.13	everything is under appreciated on sputnik
Jethro42 04.10.13	Your list contains a lot already. A suggestion; Screaming Headless Torsos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2mRQx-b_OE
YankeeDudel 04.10.13	Ha thats cool thanks boss
Atari 04.10.13	cool i've heard zero of them
WeepingBanana 04.10.13	You forgot Louisville post rock ya dummy
YankeeDudel 04.10.13	Well atari just pick out the first album I mention for each genre and give em a shot then. If you like em check the others.
Cygnatti 04.10.13	This music is too heavy for you, atari!
YankeeDudel 04.10.13	Weeping I thought you were on that grind. Why ya slackin?????
Atari 04.10.13	@Cyg, lol i never said black widow was TOO heavy for YOU just that they aren't TOO heavy. @yankee, wtf no sarcastic response? alright sweet. yeah i've heard death by june but not that particular album.
WeepingBanana 04.10.13	Maybe this weekend
YankeeDudel 04.10.13	Ehhh I thought about giving you a patented smartass response but Im in a charitable mood
Atari 04.10.13	i'll check some of them out man
mandan 04.10.13	Original list, props for that.
greg84 04.10.13	Good list. Featured.
Pestiferous 04.10.13	sigh but where is goregrind? y no1 here lyk it????
YankeeDudel 04.10.13	Ayy greg Don Cherry is proto-stoner rock dude check it out!! Good looks on the feat. Goregrind is too twee for me sry pest
Funeralopolis 04.10.13	gonna need to check out gothic country
Acrosstheshield13 04.10.13	the amount of musical genres in general is absolutely ridiculous. it's fucking stupid to have all these sub genres of sub genres. totally unnecessary.
demigod! 04.10.13	not at all
wanderlust 04.10.13	List is too damn awesome.
Calc 04.10.13	if it sounds different it should have a new name, just like categorizing animals. You don't call every feline a cat, there's lions, tigers, pumas etc.
owen 04.10.13	12 yes
Vespiion 04.10.13	16 Horsepower hell yeah
MeatSalad 04.10.13	Sweet list Yankee, some elite as fuck stuff here
Keyblade 04.10.13	gaze
YankeeDudel 04.10.13	"the amount of musical genres in general is absolutely ridiculous. it's fucking stupid to have all these sub genres of sub genres. totally unnecessary." Ill never understand why some people get so mad about genre tags. They're completely necessary. And Meat these arent really elite. Most of them are the most popular albums in their genre, but they barely having any ratings here which is sad :(. Key shoegaze is def another one. Youd think Sputnik would love it but many classics of the genre barely have any love outside like the 5 biggest groups. I dont get it.
Drummerboy123 04.11.13	How the hell do you even find out about these bands?
Jethro42 04.11.13	2 sounds great
YankeeDudel 04.11.13	Drummerboy sites like lastfm, rateyourmusic, and other random blogs I guess. I learned pretty quickly that sputnik should not be your only music source ha..... Jethro Im surprised you havent heard 2 already man. Great band.
YankeeDudel 04.11.13	Why would I ever call your lists pretentious hep? That is prob the last thing I think lol
Jethro42 04.11.13	@Yankee; Actually I have heard excerpts of that album a long while ago, and I forgot how great this was.
Keyblade 04.11.13	"the amount of musical genres in general is absolutely ridiculous. it's fucking stupid to have all these sub genres of sub genres. totally unnecessary." yea man lets totally not differentiate between power metal and brutal death metal because they sound the same. I mean it's all metal right? who needs all these subgenres?
Sadistocrat 04.11.13	thank god you put 21 on here, everyone should listen to that album
Days of Future Passed 04.11.13	Sweet, no wave rules
treeqt. 04.11.13	sputnik would be more aware if you could discuss albums that don't have reviews
Havey 04.11.13	damn 23 has amassed a whole 7 ratings since i added it a couple of months ago, never expected anyone to check it out so good job sputnik!
treeqt. 04.11.13	it's pretty chill i feel guilty for only giving it a 4 tho
Havey 04.11.13	it's also revolutionary 4.5 or die
treeqt. 04.11.13	a 4 by me for a wave album is like an objective 7
Havey 04.11.13	shut up and 4.5 it already u little shit :]
treeqt. 04.11.13	can't argue with that
Havey 04.11.13	m/
Cygnatti 04.11.13	Havey, technically it only has 6 ratings because ethy rated it twice :3
treeqt. 04.11.13	YOU can change that!!!!!!!!!
Havey 04.11.13	cryo you should listen to it (and subsequently 5 it), u dig post-punk/coldwave dont you?
demon of surveillance 04.11.13	Props for having Zeuhl. I haven't anything other than Magma but that's about all you need, they kick so much ass.
manosg 04.11.13	Great list, bookmarked.
Cygnatti 04.11.13	Okay havey! I dunno about cold wave, but I dig new wave and dark wave.
YankeeDudel 04.11.13	"sputnik would be more aware if you could discuss albums that don't have reviews" Ive brought this up a bunch of times. I wonder why it doesnt happen. It would completely changed the dynamic of the site for the better instead of people just bumping the same albums. "Props for having Zeuhl. I haven't anything other than Magma but that's about all you need, they kick so much ass." Magma is the titters but check the other albums out too. I 5d Eskaton and Potsy 5d Eider Stellaire so you know they're swagged.
Friday13th 04.11.13	Zeuhl is crazy good. I'll check out RIO.
YankeeDudel 04.11.13	Btw I love Fred Frith. Hes had some great solo albums and been in a bunch of awesome experimental bands like Henry Cow, Naked City, Massacre, Art Bears, The Golden Palominos, Death Ambient, and has collaborated on a hundred others. The guy is def one of my favorite guitar players. Very unique style.
treeqt. 04.11.13	"Ive brought this up a bunch of times. I wonder why it doesnt happen. It would completely changed the dynamic of the site for the better instead of people just bumping the same albums." Too bad sputnik will never get improved although it's crazy easy.
YankeeDudel 04.11.13	Maybe it would give people less incentive to review. Idk but still theres only so many albums that will get reviews. All the others get left out.
sniper 04.12.13	lol at free jazz and no wave being under appreciated tho
Trebor. 04.12.13	"if it sounds different it should have a new name, just like categorizing animals. You don't call every feline a cat, there's lions, tigers, pumas etc." lol wut
YankeeDudel 04.12.13	"lol at free jazz and no wave being under appreciated tho" On Sput nik
Ovrot 04.12.13	i was expecting genres I didn't know already I want my wasted seconds back
slipnslide 04.12.13	opeth>btbam
ITsHxCTOASTER 04.12.13	What about klezmer, berber music, post-minimalism, onkyo, lowercase, chanson, andalusian rock, tuvan throat singing, indeterminacy, thumri, caklempong, and all kinds of other shit that anyone can look up on the rym genre page?
Havey 04.12.13	boom
osmark86 04.12.13	caklempong is the shit. bells from hells!
osmark86 04.12.13	you forgot kroumata. it's a classic genre.
ReturnToRock 04.12.13	I knew coldwave and free jazz. But I'm losing track of genres - now there's stuff like 'nu-gaze' and 'nerdcore' and I no longer know what to put where. Old man mind reels PS: I know klezmer too, and it's awesome!
treeqt. 04.12.13	nerdcore more like fauxcore
ReturnToRock 04.12.13	And whatever that genre of hip-hop is called that is made by pasty white guys rapping about Nintendo over the theme from Zelda.
treeqt. 04.12.13	but that isn't even obscure
ReturnToRock 04.12.13	No, but it's one of the new genres that confuses the hell out of this old guy.
kitsch 04.12.13	RACIST
YankeeDudel 04.12.13	Hey hardcoretoaster I would absolutely love it if you made a list about that stuff. I know everybody is on the the tip of their toes for some essential thumri and caklempong so get to it ya lazy bastid!
PunchforPunch 04.12.13	what about chimurenga and keroncong
sideburndude 04.12.13	Dam this is a good list, will check some of these out
Jethro42 04.13.13	Miriodor would fit into Rock in Opposition.
ITsHxCTOASTER 04.13.13	I'm just fucking with you dude, I haven't heard like anything from those genres I just mentioned. This is a cool list
foxblood 04.16.13	i wish no wave wasn't such a small genre since it's the best:[
someguest 04.16.13	I would've liked to see reggae on here, but this list is awesome. Nice work.
YankeeDudel 04.16.13	Reggae was an option. But I dont listen to enough of it so I under appreciate it myself. Ive just never been a huge reggae fan. Its chill. Its great to blaze to. Perfect summer music. But I just find it pretty repetitive and samey after a while. Either way somebody (aka you) should make like a definitive reggae list or something because sput could use it. The same thing with Funk.
kitsch 04.16.13	Someone make a list of dub albums
YankeeDudel 04.16.13	Yea sput needs an essential reggae/dub list Who will provide????????????????????? Tyraexly this is your moment
porch 04.16.13	sputnik essential reggae list bob marley
treeqt. 04.16.13	x - D
porch 04.16.13	im not making a list now but if anyone wants a few starting points for dub these are some recs i gave a guy on lastfm a while ago scientist - rids the world of the curse of the evil vampires scientist - dub in the roots tradition king tubby - dub from the roots augustus pablo - king tubby meets rockers uptown carlton and family man barrett - the sound of macka dub revolutionaries - earthquake dub yabby you - beware dub scientist and prince jammy - big showdown 1980 herman chin loy - aquarius dub keith hudson - pick a dub aggrovators - jammies in lion dub style joe gibbs and the professionals - african dub all mighty chapter III prince far i - cry tuff dub encounter chapter III prince jammy - kamikazi dub king tubby - roots of dub augustus pablo - rockers meets king tubby in a firehouse
YankeeDudel 04.16.13	nice all i have is the first scientist alb off that and i love it so Ill check some others
porch 04.16.13	becomes seriously addictive once you get into it
Jruined 04.16.13	Those Scientist albums are cool as hell. I was introduced to him and dub in general via Rids the World.
YankeeDudel 04.16.13	porch what would you say are the top 5 off that list outside rids the world? cuz ill get those first
Jruined 04.16.13	That Prince far I is pretty great.
porch 04.16.13	get king tubby, augustus pablo, keith hudson and scientist/jammy and you'll have some of the other main players sound of macka dub and aquarius dub are good too. by then you'll know if you want to dig any deeper love scientist rids the world but it isn't the be all and end all of his discog so check his other early stuff as well
YankeeDudel 04.16.13	alright cool thanks mista
Jruined 04.16.13	I'm glad you have Henry Cow, Sammlas, Univers Zero, and such on here. Especially Thinking Plague, I feel like that album is never talked about, most anywhere, but it is so good, especially the opening track.
YankeeDudel 04.16.13	Yea the whole RIO movement is really cool. I just felt there was a lot of prog talk a couple weeks ago but it was mainly sticking to the same symphonic kind. RIO, Zeuhl, and the other more avant prog genres were left out and thats some of the baddest shit. This list was originally just going to be RIO and No Wave, which is why they have the most slots, but then I just added some other cool things and here we are.
ProfessorVeerappan 04.25.13	this is an amazing list where there is deep appreciation towards folk jazz and other which has to be on the upbeat because of the plague we all are spreading anyways this music ill support the crap we do ...
VlacDrac 07.18.13	Props for Aksak Maboul, criminally overlooked.
squaaab 09.27.15	sad list
