blues is the foundation of music yadda yadda, but salt is the foundation of food and i don't eat spoonfuls of salt.
blues all by itself tends to be boring. when performed by a gifted musician and story teller it can be fun, B.B. King was full of charisma and wonderful to see live, but even super talented artists like Gary Clark Jr. or Tedeschi Trucks Band just don't do much for me live.
in terms of foundational genres i'll take gospel or jazz over blues every time.
haha. Blues was listed in "bad genres." I don't see it. We aren't anywhere near where we are today in music without it.
I don’t think we should look through the lens of influence tbh. It would just be impossible. Blues is good enough to stand on its own. It shouldn’t be top 5 but should make it a few rounds.
It's definitely good enough to stand on its own. Delta blues in particular (steel guitars and all) set a lot in motion. You figure Mississippi is the birthplace of the blues which was becoming popularized in Chicago, Memphis and New Orleans back then. Without it, there's no Elvis. As much as I don't like Elvis, he kicked the doors in for everything that followed. I get your point about influence being a tough basis to vote. We'd have to go back to old spirituals and classical and the mergers of Afro-Caribbean and European classical. It won't be the basis of any of my votes, but I felt like that blues is specifically noteworthy for its contributions in particularly the first British invasion and then darker rock like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, etc.
If reggae is good how come I don't know anything about it?
You don’t need to know it. You just need to think about relaxing on a beach in the Caribbean drinking Rum and Kool-Aid out of a coconut. ITS A VIBE.
That said, the dancehall of late isn’t my thing at all.
jokes aside, there’s a time and a place for every genre. I could even enjoy some shitty radio country if I was drunk enough but reggae just isn’t something I feel the need to listen to much.
This thread needs more reggaeton hate. Not that I hate it, I just can't think of a genre with so little variation. I can understand why some people don't like hyperpop, but at least it's interesting. I'm probably just ignorant to a lot of reggaeton music but to me it's just the same drum pattern on every single song.

Also I can't believe this take. I thought we were friends.
i've posted and heaped praise on to this song before. it's technically hardcore/metalcore but without a doubt is also buttrock, and it's a fucking awesome song.
that fucking riff is so fucking great. video is also rad, if the images in this video were somehow a religion i would attend weekly services and tithe.
Oh, and let's not forget Peter Tosh! Good enough to open for the Stones on tour in the '70s and be name-dropped by Busta Rhymes in "Scenario," and singer of the best verse in "Get Up, Stand Up."

I really do feel like classical music should be one of the first few out and I’m not gonna recant on this argument like browell did
i mean i still think it shouldn’t last super far just because of influence but i do understand it’s significance and think that somewhat justifies it not being the first out

i used to be a reggae hater. i think that opinion was formed watching way too many terrible "reggae" jam bands play in shitty bars and small theaters across the southern united states.
nothing is worse than going to see a band you enjoy, showing up on time to make sure you don't miss a note, and finding out there is an unbilled opener called something like "Rebelution".
but i've since discovered that dub reggae is one of my favorite genres to just throw on and listen to. i came to dub by working backwards from post-punk.
my main issue with reggae itself is that it has a huge homophobia problem. there are so many reggae songs that glorify killing gay men that a counter movement was started against it.
