 Topic: Genre Idea
Posted: September 06 2006 at 12:39 |
Instead of putting bands in different Genres, we could do this:
- Describe The genre like this: for example "Folky Jazz Rock" or "Experimental Prog Metal"
- Write "Similar Bands", for example: Dream Theater, Similar bands: Symphony X etc...
Hope this will help all the bands that are hard to set in one genre. For Example King Crimson.
This was an old idea and really hard to explain.
Thanks!  |

Agree. Will be easier for people searching for new music finding what might appeal most to them easier. I think it's a great idea

If you like you can come over to my website and have a look ... I implemented a genre mechanism that works just like you describe it here (www.progtology.com). I'm grateful for any help or feedback!

Sounds better than the existing genre system.

I've been thinking that's actually a great idea, when I go looking for
new bands I'd kind of like to have a better idea of what they sound
like by comparissons to other bands. If your looking at Kamelot
they could suggest a band like Nightwish or King's X.

M@x said that there will be a genre by album feature in the future. My question is, how far is that future?

It's not a priority at the moment.
