- There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old, my love."

Who's coming to Synthetic Culture tonight?

And a poll, because this has been on my mind lately. Which genres of music do you like? And I mean really like, makes hairs stand up on the back of your neck or tears come to your eyes or your foot to tap uncontrollably or makes you feel all's right with the world, that sort of like.

This isn't supposed to cover all genres. My purpose will be explained shortly. (I should have put in an 'Other - please state' thingy, so please state your others in the comments.)

No jazz/blues and I don't want to put R&B instead cos it would be wrong
rap is different to hip hop

I can't put in one or more of the following... as my favourite tracks don't nec have more than one of these, or all the same attribute which attracts.

There's no "sublime associations with a period in your past/youth" in the second list.

I don't know what intelligent dance is, but I can't put mainstream, as that's not right either.

How can I find an anser wich includes Billie Holiday, Otis Reading, Outkast, Eminem, Goldfrapp, PWEI, Scissor Sisters, the first NIN album, Beastie Boys and Nirvana?

Ooh, tricky. I'd have put Outkast in hip-hop, but I suppose now you mention it you can't put Eminem in there.

Nirvana, though, I'd put under indie-rock. Clumsy, but they only allow you so many tickyboxes.

And I haven't put in jazz or blues because I have no idea what impact they'd have on the various things I'm trying to prove, as I'm clueless about them.

But you are pleasingly eclectic. I'm always interested to come across fellow eclectics.
