	Musical genre
		John Zorn, for example, a musician whose work has covered a wide range of genres, wrote in Arcana: musicians on music that genres are tools used to "commodify and commercialize an artist's complex personal vision", implying that oftentimes, genres represent efforts at marketing rather than actual musical distinctions.

	Electronic music
		In the late 1970s and early 1980s there was a great deal of innovation around the development of electronic music instruments.
		The development of the techno sound in Detroit and house music in Chicago in the early to late 1980s, and the later UK-based acid house movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s all fuelled the development and acceptance of electronic music into the mainstream and to introduce electronic dance music to nightclubs.
		Influential musicians in industrial and later synth pop styles include Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire (both now defunct), Tangerine Dream, the Human League and Kraftwerk who released their first album in over a decade in 2003.

	The Ultimate Heavy metal music - American History Information Guide and Reference
		Many people, including Heavy Metal musicians of prominent groups, believe that the foundations of the definitve style and sound of pure heavy metal were laid down by Judas Priest (another Birmingham band) with three of their early albums: "Sad Wings Of Destiny" (1976), "Sin After Sin" (1977) and "Stained Class" (1978).
		Whereas a painting is experienced visually, a symphony experienced audibly, a heavy metal band's "image" and the common theme that binds all their music is expressed in the artwork on the album, the set of the stage, the tone of the lyrics, in addition to the sound of the music.
		Ultimately, "pure" heavy metal would position itself at the periphery of pop culture, never quite at centre, and metal denizens contend that the move towards the centre was a commercialism that compromised both the artistic integrity of the form and the opportunity for messages to be taken seriously.

	ECHO VII/1: Yubakar and Greene, page 1
		Nepali pop cannot be defined as the most popular or the best-selling music in Nepal at the close of the 20th century (notably, aadhunik geet outsold Nepali pop as of 2000).
		Not incorporated into Nepali pop were the sounds of gospel, soul, country and western, country rock, beach music, Motown, psychedelic rock, and vocal pop groups (such as New Kids on the Block and Boys II Men), although all these sounds could all be heard on MTV and Nepali FM radio.
		This means that Western pop styles such as heavy metal and rap, which have their origins in American and British working-class communities, were, paradoxically, heard in Nepal as upper- and middle-class sounds, particularly from 1985 to 2000.

	Alternative rock at AllExperts
		One of the many jangle pop scenes of the early 80s, Los Angeles' Paisley Underground was a revival of 60s sounds, incorporating psychedelia, rich vocal harmonies and the guitar interplay of folk rock as well as punk and underground influences such as The Velvet Underground.
		British indie rock and indie pop drew from the tradition of Scottish post-punk bands such as Orange Juice and Aztec Camera, utilizing jangly, shambling guitars and clever wordplay.
		The Mary Chain, along with the dream pop of Cocteau Twins and the space rock of Spacemen 3, were the influences for the shoegazing movement of the late-80s.

		This is a pop album, but it's a pop album with many influences and much flair.
		I got the original Pop Art LP for free b/c their label was giving out thousands of free promo copies to college radio stations across the U.S. The band was being pushed hard as the new art-pop-punk sensation, like some sort of latter-day Blondie.
		And in the sense that the 90's saw every pop band struggle to find some "attitude" so that they could be marketed as alternative, then Transvision Vamp really were ahead of their time.

		Their record sales slackened somewhat, especially their singles, which had a hard time competing on AM radio with the sounds of the British Invasion, and it was three years before they would enjoy another Top Ten hit.
		Those albums were considered solidly competitive in the musical environment of 1966 and 1967, amid the sounds of folk-rock and psychedelic rock of the era, and both have held up better than those by most of the competition, mostly owing to the quality of the music and the songs.
		Since the 1980s, the group had been moving into the role of elder statesmen of the folk community -- Mary Travers even hosted a television special that brought together the entire present and former membership of the Kingston Trio on stage -- and this status was borne out in 1995 with the Lifelines album.

	Ten years later: Kurt Cobain's legacy endures
		When Nirvana formed in the late 1980s in Cobain's hometown of Aberdeen, Seattle's rock scene was enjoying a resurgence in dingy clubs that fostered original music -- an unkempt, high-decibel blend of punk and metal that raged with emotion.
		The British magazine Uncut recently ran a previously unpublished interview with Cobain, who said that he had considered quitting Nirvana to join Love's band, Hole, with whom he said he had a stronger musical affinity.
		Sub Pop co-founder Poneman describes Nirvana's moment in rock history as the culmination of a "perfect storm" that launched the band into the stratosphere.

	Popular Culture: from Baseball to Rock and Roll (John Bull and Uncle Sam)
		Although the dominance of American rock and roll music was the most conspicuous feature of the British pop culture scene in the years after World War II, the long tradition of British performers thriving in the United States continued both before and after war as did the favorable reception of their American counterparts in Britain.
		Below are record album covers of American rock musicians who were popular in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s as well as those of British groups popular in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s.
		In the 1950s British rock groups tended to imitate American groups and re-record their most popular songs, a trend that was in some instances reversed in the 1960s, when American groups copied British songs, especially those by the Beatles.

		The genre was pioneered during the early 1980s in the United Kingdom and Netherlands by bands such as Sore Throat, Napalm Death and Larm; and in the United States by proto-grindcore and hardcore punk bands such as Siege, DRI, Deep Wound and Repulsion.
		During the 1970s and 1980s, flirtation with occult themes by artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, W.A.S.P. and Iron Maiden led to accusations of "Satanic" influences in heavy metal by fundamentalist Christians.

	Pitchfork Feature: Now That's What I Call New Pop!
		The Human League are the essence of new pop: strikingly modern at the time, bright and tuneful beyond belief.
		In the U.S., Scritti were vaguely known as yet another British band with a million pound synthesizer rig who made grit-free dance pop in the middle of the decade.
		But Green was keenly aware of this; in a sense, all his pop singles were a meta-critique of his relationship with fl music (or pop music) (or love) (or the love song) (or something).

	CD HOTLIST: NEW RELEASES FOR LIBRARIES
		As a young and fiercely tradition-minded bluegrass fan in the early 1980s, I was deeply offended by Doc Watson's use of a snare drum in his arrangement of "Black Mountain Rag." I was, not to put too fine a point on it, an idiot.
		The recording career of British folksinger and guitarist Nic Jones was cut tragically short in the early 1980s, so fans tend to treat newly unearthed tapes with a certain reverence.
		The material on this collection was recorded in various live settings in the late 1970s, and although the sound quality varies from very good to acceptable, the musical quality of these tracks is invariably more than high enough to justify their introduction to the marketplace.

		At least ten groups were on the list, and we were right before the Rolling Stones.

		Classix Nouveaux's second album "La Verite" in 1982 was spearheaded by their biggest British hit single, "Is It a Dream" this track was catchy, lightweight, soul-tinged, and pretentiously vocalized, very much in the stream of the new romantic pop that was peaking around the time of this release.

		Unfortunately they never managed to recapture that initial spark on their few subsequent releases where the music became a vehicle for their often tedious political sloganeering (mind you, their manic single "We are all prostitutes" is also a personal favourite).
		Combining elements of rock, punk, funk, free jazz and downright mind-blowing experimentation in a way that can only be described as courageous, The Pop Group burst onto the UK music scene with this, their first release, in 1979 - and my mind, for one, hasn't been the same since.
		The Pop Group have managed somehow to produce an album of post-puk experimental music that is quite listenable while at the same time very extreme and adventurous.
