Name That Genre!

[Modeps]

Alright, I'm on a quest to properly put genre's on all my MP3s, even with online tools like MusicBrainz, they dont always add the genre field in... So, without further ado... What would you classify Sublime as? I thought Reggae... but I'm not sure.

Rock

Ska

I'd say rock, maybe ska'ish. Reggae it is not.

Well, Ska is a relative of Reggae, so it's not far off. I always thought that Ska had to have brass in it.

Nope, just a fast tempo and an strong offbeat.

Sublime is their own style. Their songs cover, and mix, a variety of genres.

Hehe that's why I don't fill in genre info 😉

Alternative? *shrug*

 

[aplefka]

Other?

I'd just put it under rock.

I have a Deftones song that is tagged as Ska.

I also have a Reel Big Fish song tagged as Rap.

😕

Some of it is (ex. Date Rape), some of it isn't (ex. Summertime, What I Got).
