You guys are really stretching it by considering some of these artist blues
I can't remember who said it in a previous thread, but this isn't an artist poll; it's a genre poll. Kacey Musgraves is a country/pop (whichever's going to make people less angry) artist, but "High Horse" is sure as shit a disco song, so, IMO, citing it as an example of why disco is awesome makes sense even though the artist behind it isn't categorized as a disco artist.
I drove 14 hours from Memphis to the outer banks...
We made a pit stop up there last September and stayed the night in Kill Devil Hills. I hadn't been there since the 1980's. I was kind of bummed out over how every square inch of beachfront is now built upon. House after house after house with almost no distance between them. It used to be a house here or there and lots of privacy and space. Now the only way to get that is to drive south down to like Bodie Island Lighthouse. Also, now you have to purchase ferry tickets in advance which makes day tripping down to Okracoke or Cape Lookout difficult unless planned and paid for. Dicks. But have fun.
I drove 14 hours from Memphis to the outer banks last night and started a beach vacation today and so I'm behind, don't know where this threads at, but I gotta share.
Look, I'm a reggae defender and anyone who is all "there's only bob Marley" is totally ignorant and if I had more time I'd post a ton of videos of Gary Clark Jr playing reggae. (kidding. But dub rules and I'm putting that in the reggae umbrella)
I digress. I'm going on no sleep and at a beach bar and there's shitty white guy reggae shit playing on the radio. Think a band that ripped off a slightly Stoopid ripoff. Anyway, shaggy "angel" comes on and my first thought is to come to this thread and say reggae gets a bad a name bc so many people think of shiz like that when someone says "reggae". And while I'm having this thought my father in law says to the table: "do y'all like shaggy? I really like shaggy"
So whatever, vote out reggae. But listen to super ape as penance.
It’s not that Lee Scratch Perry is bad, it’s just that he has to die for Rebelution and OAR’s sins.

I would think it's laughable that so many prominent board members are trying to pigeonhole blues into being this one specific, uninteresting thing for the sake of saving their own favored trash genres, but you guys managed to whip a bunch of votes on your side, so I guess it's just aggravating and depressing to watch.

I'm gonna start campaigning against R&B.
I really hate the part at the end of every R&B song where the lead vocalist does like 13 other vocal takes and layers them over the main melody. Sounds bad.
imagine listening to this and thinking “yeah this is a song that someone would fuck their sister to”
Everyone knows *this* is the best Jason Isbell song for incest:
i love it when Isbell is playing bonnaroo and people ask for Isbell suggestions and someone always suggests "Elephant" and people listen and come back like "jesus fucking christ".
song is incredible though. i'm not typically the biggest lyrics guy but Isbell lyrics cut right through the bullshit. so good.
more to the thread, Isbell is a country artist and a rock artist.

R&B is the best genre on this list. marvin gaye, stevie wonder, sam cooke, boyz ii men, teddy pendergrass, otis redding, bill withers, tina turner, curtis mayfield, neville bros, lionel richie, al green, whitney houston, prince, james brown, aretha franklin, ray charles. unassailable.

maybe it's just 2022 and people legitimately do not give a fuck about the blues.

It's reggaeton v blues, bud.
About reggaeton btw.:
Reggaeton and reggae have nothing to do with each other (saw some people comment onto if there is a difference or if dancehall falls under reggae or not so here we go). Well, apart from the name being very samey; it originates from back in the day when reggaeton was way more rudimentary and not so clubby in the late 80's / early 90's. Reggaeton would come out of dancehall (see under) mixed with hiphop influences but in Puerto Rico and not Jamaica (like dancehall). The classic dem bow beat even came later.
Reggae came out of ska in the 1950's, dub would come out of reggae when dj's started experimenting with vinyl's of it (in the 70's). Dancehall, similarly to dub, also comes out of experimentation of dj's back in the 70's but a bit later than dub.

oh save it for the How Old Are You thread
Beyonce, Rihanna, SZA, Frank Ocean, The Weekend, a shit load of that’s going by indie that’s totally r&b.

Plenty of music has been influenced by blues that is not blues. Blues is a static, simple and uninteresting genre. It pigeonholes itself. That's why blues has basically fell out of the mainstream in the last 30-40 years.
The majority of it all sounds the exact same and it's boring as hell.
"The blues originated with African-American communities, primarily in the Deep South of the United States, towards the end of the nineteenth century. It grew out of Spirituals, Work Songs, shouts, chants and narrative ballads. It became associated with a form of music using a 12 bar chord progression (although it was always much more varied than just this form) and employing distinctive “blue notes”, slightly at odds with notation Western Classical Music. In the first half of the 20th century there was cross-fertilization with Jazz and Rhythm & Blues. Blues music continued to develop into a number of sub-genres, including Delta Blues, Piedmont Blues, Jump Blues and Chicago Blues. After World War II many artists, particularly in Chicago, moved to amplified Electric Blues, which was a major influence on Rock & Roll and later Blues Rock musicians and through them on Hard Rock and Heavy Metal music. Since then it has enjoyed a number of revivals, most recently in the 2000s, when it was picked up by bands of the Garage Rock Revival."
edit: (I beg to differ on the last sentence blues being an influence of garage rock revival tbh, or do they mean The White Stripes et al?)
Best albums according to RYM: Tom Waits Nina Simone Son House Muddy Waters Etta James Stevie Ray Vaughan Big Mama Thornton Janis Joplin ...
While those are probably all great, I personally really don't care about all those. Even, as great as Nina Simone is and was, I cannot remember the last time I listened to a song of hers (nor Tom Waits) etc. It's just an older genre that never really invented itself (imo) after like.. the 70's? Jazz did for example, as a comparison. It still does.

Instead of getting angry, have you tried having good Survivor opinions? Maybe just once?
i like to think i'm a pretty cool "all genres can be good" mr kind music man, but every blues video posted in this threat is completely revolting to me.
it's like if this was fast food survivor and people defending mcdonalds were like "but how about THIS" and then they post a picture of a smashed big mac in a mcdonalds parking lot run over by a car.
