What are some genres with easily identifiable roots?
For example, it's pretty widely accepted that James Brown started funk. In fact, "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" is well-known as the single that started the movement.
What are some other genres? Some easy ones are genres named after the pioneering artists, notably death metal (after Death) and black metal, after the album "Black Metal" by Venom.
Or at least what I think. I know much less about metal than I do about funk, so if any bigger fans than me feel like I'm not doing some other black or death metal band justice, please chime in.
You can divide genres as much as you want. Rock will be harder than say, third-wave ska.
BQ: Favorite soul or funk songwriter?
Care to identify those roots, Rape Me?
Well, as much as the Mean Streets picture complements the name, I was in the mood for something a little more friendly.
ok, how about afrobeat, started by fela kuti. influenced by hi-life/afro-pop, funk and jazz.
BQ: well, simply saying james brown is too easy, gotta break it down to brown/byrd, brown/ellis, brown/bobbitt perhaps a little brown/wesley
