re: Defining bands of music genres

quote:

---

I were to meet a person that knows nothing about music and I could only select 1 band from each music genre to give them an example of what it sounded like, what band would it be. Doesn't mean most critically acclaimed, best selling, most hits, etc. Just the person or band that represents exactly what the genre is about and how it should sound.

based on your criteria it's hard to argue too much with your picks. I think the "rock" and "rap" categories are so, SO vast though that you could pick damn near 100 people for each category and not necessarily be wrong.
