    *Funk is listed as a subgenre of Rock, even though it appears as a separate genre in-game. This proves to be interesting.

    Also, the track dates go from 1960 to 2010.

    It'd be interesting to compare this to the list of prospective songs to see how varied the genres will be around RBN opening.

    This is official, right? If so, then very well done, HMX, with one exception:

    You include smooth jazz as a genre but not at least bebop? I think I just died a little bit inside. Also, some of the "urban" subgenres are a bit redundant. Do you really need "Underground Rap", "Alternative Rap", "Hip Hop", "Rap", "Hardcore Rap" and "Gangsta"? Talk about redundancy and overkill. I can't really complain much, though, since I guess they're catering to different audiences with those labels.

    That's what "other" is for.
    Would you pay for music by Beck?
    Maybe.
    What if you heard he owned a plane made of gold?
    Sure.
    Good, because he needs the money.

    very surprising to see the lack of doom and/or stoner in the metal category. i can understand the others being absent, but geez.

    Agreed. It's glaring that one of the earliest forms of metal isn't mentioned.
