I voted "other," because I think that, today, a lot of the music I listen to doesn't exactly fit into a neat little category. AND, I listen to a lot of different stuff. IMO, the best new stuff is coming from "lesser-knowns," not what you hear on MTV or the radio. As a musician, I really appreciate the songwriting of what some people call "Americana," "Folk," or "Alt-Country." I'm not even really sure where to place many of my favorite artists. For example, where does Coldplay fit in? Hard to call them "Rock," when that genre includes Limp Bizkit (whom I also like). Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Damien Rice, Scott Miller, Slaid Cleaves, Jack Johnson. . . .the list goes on -- we almost need a new "type" to fit this wordy, laid-back, inspiring, thought-provoking, and instrumentally-based music. The acoustic guitar is doing crazy things lately, much like the electric guitar did in the '80's and early '90's. If you haven't had the chance to get the drift yet, grab Jack Johnson's latest CD, light a campfire, and open your mind. You WILL NOT be disappointed.
