R&B is that a blusey rhythm? Is it in 4 x 4 or another time signature. What is Rhythm & Blues? Is it Rock and Roll? Blues Rock?. I Dunno
‘Hip Hop’s another. What genre is it? It is often listed below a Rap Artist. ‘He has been into ‘hip-hop’ for years’ or something it will say.
What is ‘hop hop’?
(‘I am so old I need a ”hip Op'”
That’s a joke. By way of light relief).
(If you want some “light relief”, just give Angie Rayner a call. Or at least that’s what the Cuntstable reckons! – Day Admin)
Another one is ‘Be bop’. I remember ‘Be-bop Deluxe’ but I don’t really know what Be-Bop is.
I am hoping the more knowledgeable musical cunters can help explain these terms.

Best not to know in my opinion.
I downloaded and played a track of music that I liked for my car player.
Mrs Cunter listened and said “I didn’t know that you liked Bachata”.
I told her that I had no idea what Bachata is, so she downloaded an entire album of the genre and sent it to me.
It was awful.
It seems that I only like this one particular Bachata song.
The rest that I have heard is shit.
If you like a song or tune, listen to it.
It doesn’t matter what label is on it.
Especially at this time of year.
You might receive mix albums for Christmas that you will hate all but one track.
6
I agree, Artful.
The only label I attach to a track is “like it”.
5
When i was a lot younger than i am now i made the mistake of buying several pre rumours albums from fleetwood mac based on the assumption all fleetwood mac stuff was great after listening to rumours. I can confirm at my cost, that anything from them pre rumours is actually shit.
17
What a cunt you are. Fleetwood Mac ceased to exist when Green left. Rumours and the rest is pop music.
11
Well, maybe I have a penchant for a bit of ‘pop music’ harry.
Although compared to ‘pop music’ since then, it is most definitely in a higher league
7
I’ve bought plenty of albums over the years based on one song and found that the rest was shit (Guns N’ Roses Appetite for Destruction springs to mind) but I have also bought albums and found that I preferred other tracks. I occasionally try to complete music surveys and I have no fucking clue what the genres are. It’s simple, either I like it, I don’t or (mostly) it’s meh.

Is this the music that attacted a thousand blicks without tickets to brixton academy expecting to get in….and when unsurprisingly they were’t allowed their actions killed at least one and critically injured 4 more….excluding all the other injuries that weren’t reported such as broken limbs and open wounds as they were considered of lower reporting significance.
Which when asked for a comment a ‘community representitive’ stated why were the four police that were originally sent before it really went tits, white and were sent to a ‘predominantyl blick’ event?
I kid you not….that is what was reported as being a quote
18
I agree it’s a cunt, but what is it 😂
6
‘What is ‘hop hop’?’
Ffs…
5
It says these terms come from early Jazz.
I see what’s going on. To give Rap some provenance/credence musically as it were. You can trace it back to the Jazz greats.
3
The pressing question is–
‘Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?’
5
Not to mention the ding in the shamalama ding dong.
1
A combination of jazz and funk: Junk
6
Little Richard put the bop in ‘wôp bop a loo bop a lop bam boom!’
The MC5 released an ace version in 1970:

Bebop is a style of Jazz music Myles which was popular in America during the 2nd World War era. Charlie “Bird” Parker.
On the subject of Bebop Deluxe, Bill Nelson is a much unappreciated and oft overlooked guitar maestro.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WeiBzGBTu8
I thought that Hip Hop is just another style of Rap.
1
Sorry spelt your name wrong Miles.
2
N9 not Myles Harold. Miles as in Miles Davis
Come to think did he do ‘bebop’?
No that was ‘smooth’ Jazz wasnt it.
He wouldnt have been as cool called ‘Harold’ Davis.
1
Miles Davis covered a multitude of genres, from Be Bop in the 1940s to Jazz Rock in the late ’60s through to the ’90s and beyond.
Bitches Brew is a masterpiece.
3
Don’t think there is such a genre as Hop Hop.
R&B is early Stones, Pretty Things, etc.
Hip Hop (formerly known as Disco Rap) is basically Rap with an electronic backing.
Be Bop is Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, etc.
Be Bop Deluxe were great, but had fuck all to do with Be Bop.
Hope that doesn’t help. 🙂
4
But say if you hear ‘skiffle’ you know what it is. Or ‘bluegrass’.
2
I know what ‘bluegrass’ is Miles.
It’s country music in its purest form.
I love it!
https://youtu.be/ZNa2nxgoo6U
It’s often deeply religious and sung by genuinely working class types rather than nice posh boys like the Rolling stones.
5
Trouble is, Mis, whenever someone says Bluegrass, which I love, I immediately flash to Dueling Banjoes.
I also like Arlo Guthrie.

Nowt wrong with duelling banjos?

Dizzy Gillespie is worth checking out, and his song Be-bop from 1963. Looks like Hip-hop came along a bit later, as a response to racism no less. Oh well never mind.
2
Did he ever get treatment for that inner ear infection?
5
Rumour on the street says he got a dose of “Revolving Door Syndrome,” Mis. He walked in though the out door, & the door won! “He fought the door & the door won!”
2
It was curtains, apparently, whichever way you looked at it! ……..Now can someone direct me to the cloakroom?
1
There are musicians.
Then there are rappers, DJs, boy bands and girl bands.
The rest of it – chip shop, gruel etc is beyond me.
7
Personally I think most of these new meaningless musical terms / genres are dreamt up by the industry marketing men simply covering up the fact that their “artists” have bugger all musical ability and are cynically aimed at extracting cash from young simpletons desperate to be seen as having street cred with their moronic peers.
15
That is it.

Be bop deluxe had a naked lady on the album cover, never did find out what the be bop bit was…

Rip Rap fucking Hop It.
2
When a decent song gets Blackjacked with a rap riff steams my piss. What genre is it then? A hybrid? It’s now shit that’s what.

Thankfully, no one has yet sampled ( and fucked up) Dave Brubeck – Take Five.

No, but this is rather good.

Champion Paul, well done!
Now, where did I put my “47”?

I like Ali Campbell’s version of The Equals ‘Come Back’ until that talentless cunt Pato Banton (who?) started rapping on it.
I either like a song/tune or I don’t. Genres don’t enter it.
3
Ska all the way. But if something sounds good grab a listen. The morricone duel by the danish national symphony orchestra is pure goose bumps especially once upon a time in the west.
4
What’s classed as R an B sounds to me like sugary commercial soul?
Rubbish.
Meant to stand for rythm and blues?
No blues in it.
Besides, white boys sing the blues better than negroes.
https://youtu.be/qI8l1h3UrrY

You’re right Mis, I don’t know why the caterwauling of today had to hijack the term R&B. Couldn’t they come up with a term of their own?
Unless in their instance it stands for Rubbish and Bollocks.
Here’s one of my favourite blues men

Quite right Duke.
Blues was big in the 60s,
John Mayalls Blues breakers,
Peter Green was fuckin ace,
As were these boys,

Blackmore is such a miserable cunt. Great axeman but a morose old turd.

Richie is indeed a miserable and difficult cunt. Always was. A guitar craftsman, but a total weirdo.

Wasn’t the Duke in the Seekers?

Sorry, I meant Searchers

The Searchers were good. Their drummer, Chris Curtis was one of rock’s great nutters.

Hey Miserable at the ISAC Chrismas party at Fiddler’s Towers we all could join in a ‘rap battle’. Who can outdo the other in word play?
Mr Fiddler would then get his old turntables out and we could all do a bit of ‘scratching’.
We could all have a go at ‘MCeeing’ after that.
Finally a bit of ‘Beatboxing’. That’s when you make the sound of the drum beat with your lips and tongue. I am sure RT would be exceptional at that.
10
Would this include some breakdancing? The polished floor of the Amber Room at Fiddler Towers would be perfect…..before the hounds are released, naturally.
5
The hounds would probably join in the breakdancing.
Highly polished floors and dog feet don’t usually have a good relationship.
Picture Bambi on ice.
4
Make the sound of the drum beat with your lips and tongue…
That stuff is immensely irritating!
No doubt why you thought of me, Miles.
Glad to be of service. 😁

Their are three types of music.
Rock
Classical
Gay (everything else)

‘There’
There is more than one type of retard, obviously.

Check out Eva Cassidy.

What a loss.

Poor old fuckin Meatloaf.
Had a hard life,
His dad used to knock shit out of him.
Funny, talented and genuinely likeable.
I knew a meatloaf impersonator!
Used to work nights with him, used to call him Meatball as he wasn’t the full loaf.
Here’s Meatloaf at his best.

Meatloaf was fired by Donald Trump, cunt.

Meat had one hell of a voice on him.

Musical terminology, genres etc, are irrelevant to me.
Most great music is a mixture of different genres.
‘Rock’, ‘Pop’ and ‘Jazz’ covers most of what I’m into.
From Chuck Berry to Doo Wôp, to Coltrane to Hendrix, to Zappa to Beefheart, to Soft Machine to Faust, to Pet Sop Boys, to M83….
Not much interested in acoustic shit, though very much enjoy the Third Ear Band’s ‘Alchemy’ LP.
Classical Music covers a multitude of sins: from Brahms to Stockhausen.
Love Krautrock, me.

Krautrock?

Tell you what I really hate. When cunts have bands’ songs and albums ‘ranked’.
Some twat online with ‘Every Led Zeppelin album, ranked’.’Every Who song, ranked’. Like rock music is a school report, and a great band from the past is judged by some clueless cunt who wasn’t even born when they were around. I don’t know why, but I really hate that. Just enjoy the music for fucks sake. It’s Rock ‘N’ Roll, not a pissing contest. Ranked, my arse.👿
