Brendan's genre in your listenings

[metarie]

ok, let's see if I manage to make sense out of this thread and explain what I mean. Also hope to have put it in the right section (sorry if not).

I was thinking about how to collocate Brendan's music in my personal tastes, because I realized that people who know me get kinda surprised discovering he is one of my faves, being -they say- way too "indie/pop" compared to the other music I listen to (which is quite Black Sabbath-oriented).

So: does Brendan fit in your cd collection or is he the black sheep, as in my case?

I listen to all kind of music from George Harrison, Kinks, the who, Tom Petty to Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rammstein so...

I would say he fits right into my area... I like all the same that elena said also I love elliott smith, the beatles, bob dylan, but i also love old 30s blues and classical music.... So i'm all over the place, but he fits right into my catalog

Musical genres don't make sense in my head. I can't categorise music in such a way to put everything in a box, and I can never describe to someone I don't know what kind of music I like. I either like it or I don't, it's either good or it isn't, and that's about as far as I go with genre!

That said, I think he fits in quite well with the other stuff I listen to.

I totally agree with you. In fact what got me surprised is that BB doesn't quite fit what I usually listen to - I mean, there are some similar artists I like, esp solo songwriters like Hawksley Workman or Jacob Golden which might be quite similar, but I cannot say they make the same genre as Brendan, because all of these artists have their own style. There are some singers or bands who make VERY similar music, and my curiosity came out when I realized that I don't like anyone else but BB with this music attitude.
And I think it's cool to have an open mind - not only in music.

Infectiously catchy rock music. Yep, pretty much fits in with I mostly listen to.

Well I think he fits, but most of my friends think he doesn't!!

... he's filed alongside Buffalo Tom and Bob Mould in my collection.
