There is this cartoon series called CatDog. Maybe he had inspiration...

I guess I don't consider Stoner, Doom, and Drone rock. I lump them in with Metal.

So Kyuss are metal then? facepalm

My genre classification is usually set by the bar for each sub genre. Ie. favorite Stoner is Sleep, favorite Drone is Sunn O)))...etc.

Your reasoning is an Association Fallacy...

My favourite Stoner band is Sleep.
Sleep is Stoner/Metal.
Therefore all Stoner bands are Metal.

My favourite animal is a dog
Dogs have four legs
Therefore all cats are dogs.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying it's the first place my head goes when I think of 'Stoner' music. So I associate it with Metal when I'm talking about it. It's not a permanent mind set, it's just the mode my head goes into when I talk about 'Stoner' music. It assumes we're talking about Metal.

It's also probably because I don't have enough experience with other Stoner, Drone, or Doom bands. I'd love more suggestions as the genres have very quickly grown on me. The only one I've gone deeper into is Drone, and I'd definitely still call that Metal so far.

None of this really matters though. I try to avoid genre arguments like the plague as a fan of Electronic music and Metal (the two worst genres for 'subgenre argument dickery').

As Dave said, the line is really blurred here. Hell on any given day I could call 'Dopesmoker' a 'Rock' album and it wouldn't really be a far stretch.

I have to agree that there is no need to absolutely define genres or place a band in one basket only.  Who really cares?  At best I see it helping to identify bands we might want to check out... Have you heard that new low-Fi electronic stoner band... It might make me say, hey I like all that, I might like them.

Kyuss is a good example, I wouldn't box them in as a metal band, but Wretch is a metal album!

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Morbid and gentlemen/ladies. You are all right. In the scheme of things it dosen't amount to a hill of beans what is called what, as long as we are sharing music and enjoying the journey.

'Twas a professional weakness on my part. Just like this site I measured an analysed the statement, found it faulty and couldn't let it go.

So this is me walking the plank  walk the plank2

Btw, thanks for pointing out Stonerobixxx, Numbersixx! Now downloading ALL the monthly compilations!

These are all the comps I have. If you want them PM/email me and we'll sort out how to get them to you.


That's about 18 hours worth.
