It is a question of definition

Go to Rocky road & the first name you see is Coldplay. Isn't that a pop group ? It's not exactly 'rock' is it. Where do you put Nick Cave & the bad Seeds or Tom Waits or Bjork ? It isn't Rock either and if it came out yesterday and the songs weren't written by Handel then that makes it Pop music dosen't it ? Can someone tell me what the difference between Folk Music & Pop music ? If you subtract the money & the record label, there's maybe not much in it.

I don't agree with the sandwich scenareo. If I hear a record I like, I go and get it. I couldn't care less if someone decides to slap a lable like 'trip hop' or 'acid jazz' on it. What about 'R & B'. Who invented that misnomer ? I'm sure there are people out there who listen to stuff to impress others but I bet there are few here and they may not listen to Pop music either.

By the way, I've never seen your site but could you direct me ? Pop music around here is thrash metal if you're under 20, Nationalist choirs if you're over 40 and Celine Dion if you listen to the radio. It's hell and I can do with all the leads I can get.
