[quote=“naijeru”]Country - Restless by Carl Perkins
I honestly have no idea what you should have here, but I will suggest Carl Perkins (probably more rock than country).[/quote] Will try. I want to broaden my Country, because I have the Dixie Chicks and Shania and that’s not “real” country music.

Classical - try Shostakovich or Wagner
I like these composers but I haven’t explored classical much. I know I like certain pieces, but then I’d have to track down the composer, conductor and orchestra in order to find the music I heard. A daunting task indeed.[/quote] Never hear of the first one. Will try.
[quote]Funk - Funktelechy vs. The Placebo Syndrome by Parliament
These guys really are from another planet.[/quote] Anything by Parliament I’m trying to get. Man, I love those guys. Actually snuck into their new years concert 1995. Best greens and jaming
[quote]Hip Hop/Rap - Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest
You probably have this already.
[/quote]HELLO. The best Hip Hop group of all time. Althought recently I just saw Source mag saying Outcast is the greastest. [color=darkred]NOT[/color]. Midnight Marauder isn’t the best one. Low End Theory is my fava=Check the Rhyme = Best all time Hip Hop song in my book.
[quote]Pop - Off the Wall by Michael Jackson
Remember a time when MJ had a 'fro, Quincy Jones was his producer and he turned out HOT albums like this.[/quote]Got it. The only decent one he put out. But that’s because he had Q. I used to roller skate back and forth in my basement to this album for hours as a kid…
[quote]Dance - Mixed Live, Crobar Nightclub Chicago by Carl Cox
For pure high energy dance beats look no further than three turntable master Carl Cox. I’m sure he has better albums out there, but you can’t go wrong with this one.[/quote]Dear God, Crobar? That place used to suck. I went there a couple of times. The Real World Chicago was filmed right around the corner. Are you from Chicago? If so, you should be giving me some good House music.
[quote]Disco - The Best of Cheryl Lynn - Got to Be Real by Cheryl Lynn
My favorite disco diva.[/quote] Fave disco song, and best Sex in the City episode has that song.

World - Calypso Carnival by The Mighty Sparrow
I suppose I should recommend Bob Marley or something, maybe some Brazilian or Japanese drummers, but instead I will shamelessy plug an artist from the home of my ancestors, THE MIGHTY SPARROW! Calypso Carnival is a good but quite old album. You may also try looking for artists such as Crazy, Tall Paul and Square One. Most of my stuff is on mix tapes or CDs so I don’t know how much luck you’d have finding these artists on iTunes or in a record store.[/quote] Cool will look for it.
[quote]R&B Street Songs by Rick James
RICK JAMES![/quote] Why didn’t I think of that.

Jazz - Birth of the Cool by Miles Davis
I think Kind of Blue is more often recommended but I prefer Birth of the Cool as The One Jazz Album You Must Own. Better yet get both. Alternatively you can go with John Coltrane’s soulful A Love Supreme.
[/quote] Love Supreme is good. But Birth of the Cool :no-no: IMO “Kind of Blue” is the Shitzzzz. Fo Rezzzal.
[quote]Easy Listening - What the fuck do you want this on your iPod for?![/quote] Barbar Striesand, Fleetwood Mac and all them get this classification.
[quote]Soundtracks - The Collection: 40 Years of Film Music by John Barry
Soundtracks are kind of hit and miss, but this collection has some of John Barry’s best work covering a broad range of styles all performed by the same orchestra. He is one hell of a composer.[/quote] UMMM
And TM, the IPod has 60 beautiful GBs :yay: and thanks for Nina Simone. Totally forgot about her. I haven’t listened to much but I want it there for exposure.
Thanks guys for pitching in. Just trying to broaden the scope.
And screw rolling stone’s list. No offense but it’s as bad as AFI’s top 100 films. :s
