CD Christmas Present


Question Posted Wednesday December 5 2007, 10:48 pm

I needed an inexpensive/free gift for my friend and finally just decided on a CD - also she said this was something she might want.
I decided to make a CD covering a lot of different genres. I'm positive she will like this- just trust me - and so I need to know what different genres to include. The CD will hold 80 minutes, and as much as I would like to include EVERY genre...I obviously cannot. I would like one song for each genre as representation. Here's what I have so far:

Ska
Hardcore
Alternative
Indie
Techno
Country
Rap
Hip-hop
Screamo
Emo
Powerpop

I know I'm missing a LOT of genres...please help me fill in the gaps and also PLEASE reccomend songs that would be good. Thanks oodles!!

Yeah the "main" genres I usually can think of off the top of my head are:

- Rock/Alternative/Indie
- Country
- Techno/Disco
- Rap/Hip Hop/R&B
- Jazz, Blues
- Pop

There are so many subgenres.. like for rock if you want to get specific there is heavy metal, death metal, punk, emo, screamo, glam rock, progressive rock, etc.

Or two genres combined to another like ska is punk and jazz, sort of.

So depending on how specific you wanna be with the genres you can do it! I'm sure she will love your mix CD!

You see the drop down genre section on the right? That should help you out loads.
Good luck with the CD by the way :)
