Ep. 169 - Top 10 Global Music Genres
What happens when your trusty co-host bails on you last minute? Well, you embrace the chaos and steer the ship solo! Join me, Scott McLean, as I embark on an unexpected adventure through the global soundscape without my usual partner-in-crime, Jack. Our "dysfunctional podcast relationship" takes center stage with a hearty dose of humor and a touch of introspection, as I dive into the world of music genres, from the electrifying riffs of metal to the rhythmic beats of reggaeton. You won't want to miss the nostalgic laughter over my classic Cadillac Eldorado tales and the quirky banter with our loyal listeners like Big Head Todd and Patty.
Ever wondered what unites salsa dancers and metalheads? It's the universal language of music, and we're charting it all—a melodic journey through ten genres that shape our world. Take a sonic tour that kicks off with metal's thunderous allure, glides into alternative and indie's eclectic vibes, and sways to the Latin and reggaeton rhythms. Whether it's the storytelling soul of country or the infectious energy of EDM, each genre is a chapter in the global playlist, and we're here to celebrate it with personal anecdotes and a bit of comic relief.
As we crescendo into the top spots, witness the transformative power of hip-hop and rap, and revel in the catchy dominion of pop music, the reigning champ. I'm here to share not just the music but the memories and stories that give each note its heartbeat. With Morrissey's words echoing, "the pleasure, the privilege is mine," this episode closes with gratitude and anticipation for our next rendezvous. So, tune in for a mix of music, humor, and heartfelt connection that promises to strike a chord with every listener.
well, here we are episode one, six, nine, climbing to 200, and on this episode it's just me, no Jack. We really have a dysfunctional podcast relationship. This needs to be fixed. Me and Jack need therapy, so I'm flying solo. No big deal. I'm gonna give you the top ten music genres From around the world total the top ten. So sit back, relax. And enjoy me From around the world Total the top 10. So sit back, relax and enjoy me. That's really why you tune in anyways, why you listen, because it's all about me.

And in typical Jack style, well, I get the late text this afternoon. Uh, sorry, can't make it. Is this, is this a dysfunctional podcast relationship? Is that what this is like? Am I, am I? Am I an abused podcast host and I just keep going, or doing the cycle, as they say?
Speaker 2:oh well you know.
Speaker 1:And so for the podcast listeners, well, now all is not lost. Big head Todd the witch could not wait for the show to start. So he could, you know, comment in I am here, entertain me. Well, you're not. No, I refuse to entertain for him. That's not a thing. That's not a thing said. At least he can make it right, at least he can make it. Well, that, that is true, that is true, that is true. He made it into the show, unlike Jack.
Speaker 4:That is true, my friend, that is true.
Speaker 1:Everybody big head, talk to Wetzprog. There you go.
Speaker 4:Welcome to the show. Welcome to the show. If there's anything I can Come on. Scott Smile, it's a Thursday, it's a good day.
Speaker 1:Well, you know, I'm retired, so for me every day is like Sunday. So it's really. You know, you were retired for a second, literally, and well, I had all the Jack jokes all for a second, literally, and well, you know you had your reasons.
Speaker 4:I had all the Jack jokes all lined up. I was all ready to say Jack is back, the third or the nothing. I got nothing. I got nothing.
Speaker 1:See, he just sets up to disappoint and as we're talking, Patty Yossi says it's not you, Scott, it's them. See it's. But I get sucked into the cycle, so I don't know.
Speaker 4:Well, you got Dave, Patty and myself. We're all here to support you, so we're all good. Hi Patty, Hi Dave, Good to see you all.
Speaker 1:All right. So tonight I'm talking about the top 10 genres in the world. Like there's thousands of genres of music and sub-genres, right, thousands and thousands. Can you give me off the top of your head what you think the top 10,? Not in any particular order, because that would be asking too much of you, but off the top of your head, what are the top 10, do you think? Music genres in the world.
Speaker 4:So there's only really two that really matter, and that is alternative 80s and alternative 90s-ish. So alternative is one. The rest of it is crap. So just you, just you can make the show really really short, spend you know good 20 minutes, talk about that and then just call it a night. You're so fucked, jesus christ, you have in in New England and stuff for Van Halen, and all of that In New England. Why can't you just say Boston? The show would be amazing.
Speaker 1:What happened to my face? Hold on, there we go. Why, why? New England? Just say Boston.
Speaker 4:Well, because you didn't spend all your time in boston. Well, I really went through there's boston, there's I heard the cod, the cape, I've heard all of these places. And then you start talking about all of these restaurants and bars and things that you and your brother uh got, went and got drunk at and everything those were all in Boston for the most part.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you, evidently you're like Jack, you overanalyze things. That's why you were a police chief, I guess, and I wasn't.
Speaker 4:I was Long, long, many, many moons ago. Now I'm just some lonely old bum working out in the morning, eating chocolate and bonbons all day and watching folks.
Speaker 1:That's my life. You're the metal peg Bundy that actually works out. Is that what?
Speaker 4:you said that's right, that's right, yeah, just a little bit Come on.
Speaker 1:You know more about music than that. Give me some more that you think are on this top ten list. Like alternative. You said alternative.
Speaker 4:There's two more that deserve honorable mention. That's country and western. In this club we play both kinds of music country and western.
Speaker 1:Right, okay, yeah, well, you're really disappointed. I could probably have Dave Phillips, yeah Well, yeah, you really, you really disappoint. Like I could probably have Dave Phillips, king of the 45s, come on, he'd start rattling, but unlike him, you're just the king of the 45s, I'm king of the bonbons.
Speaker 4:I mean, I don't even know why he even decided to ask me those questions. I'm just this again just some long-winded bomb here in California, that's it.
Speaker 1:And I can vouch for Big Head Todd sent me. He actually donated his record collection to my record collection of donated record collections and it was pretty much nothing before 1980. Maybe says something from 79 and nothing after 1989 that's true.
Speaker 4:Hey, there was a sugar hill gang in there, so that was what I mean. That was, you had a little earlier yeah, and then there was, uh, what god? I can't remember what the other one was hey, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1:Let me ask you a question have you ever gone over a friend's house to eat and the food just ain't no good? Not at your house, man best thanksgiving ever.
Speaker 4:Have you ever gone over a friend's house to eat and the food just ain't no good. Not at your house, man. Best Thanksgiving ever See.
Speaker 1:I led you on to that one. That's from the show. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:You don't go to the McLean household or McVera 2.0 castle and not leave without a full stop, so that is a fact.
Speaker 1:This is true Even when it's just me and Dr Vera. I cook for at least five. I don't know how to cook small.
Speaker 4:You need to get another job just to take care of that appetite of yours.
Speaker 1:Well, listen, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, my my, foundation your blood work is perfect and my, my, my one man, one mic foundation. My veteran foundation keeps me busy enough now and the vets connection podcast, so I don't need it really. Another job, no, thank you so, so what?
Speaker 4:what's gonna happen with? Is he going to come back or is he just going to not show up? Because I am Jack's only fan? He has one, that's it. It's me. The constant banter between the two of you is extremely entertaining, and that comes from a lifelong friendship. Is he coming back or not?
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 4:I'm an abused podcast host. Huh, give me his number. I'm calling him right now, yeah okay, it's 617. I'm sure he'd love you to give his number over there hey hey, big head Todd, Look, look Mark, big boss.
Speaker 1:Man Flynn, just pumped in, says he likes Jack too. So you got competition.
Speaker 4:The only reason that he even knows who Jack is is because he got on Google and Googled his name.
Speaker 1:Now I get somebody asking April, Bernard asking where's Amanda, who cares?
Speaker 4:What is that? Hey, that was an amazing episode. She added a little bit of youth to the show and finally a little bit of beauty, because you can't do it, you don't have beauty.
Speaker 1:Hey, I am At 61, I'm still a handsome bastard.
Speaker 4:That's right. Just, dr Beard, just pull the mirrors out of the house. She keeps telling you that.
Speaker 1:That's all I need. As long as she likes it, I don't care about anybody else. As long as I keep her happy and she says I'm her handsome man, then I'm good.
Speaker 4:You got me on the air right now and I just want to set the record straight. The Ramones suck, and the reason why is because in Davis, california, in 1992, I saw them live in concert and they were the absolute worst. Their hair was all pulled down in front of them, the social distortion opened up for them and they were amazing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's your band yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:But then I watched the Ramones to say, yeah, I went to go see the Ramones, this is going to be great. And I showed up. Their hair was pulled down in front of them. It could have been anybody up there, as far as I know and as far as I can tell, they were about as stoned out as they're out of their mind or drugged out or whatever it was, and they played the same song over and over and over, and over again.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna play jack whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa what do you mean?
Speaker 4:they laid the foundation for all these other bands to follow, isn't that?
Speaker 1:but isn't that rock and roll? Isn't that punk rock? Doesn't that whoa, whoa. You know you can't make that determination just based on one show.
Speaker 4:Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah hey, I've heard him do it himself, so listen. So I listened to series f, x, xm and uh. First wave channel 33, and every single time the ramones is played which they do it too often I change the channel hey, hey, let me ask a question.
Speaker 1:Uh, mock bro, dude talent. Uh, he, he loves to tour them. He puts green day. What do you think of that piece of shit band they.
Speaker 4:They need to move to Canada or wherever else they decided that they wanted to move to because they hate America. Isn't that where they said that they hated America? They're more proud of them. Then go somewhere else.
Speaker 1:It's fine, it doesn't matter to me, isn't their music just fucking repetitive bullshit, like it's the same tune, just different. You know what I mean?
Speaker 4:There's nothing original to them. Yeah, they copied the remotes. I change the channel whenever they come up too.
Speaker 1:Thank you, thank you, so fuck you. Mach Bro Dude Talent.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I said it.
Speaker 4:So what? Yeah, no, Green Day is not worth your time. No, you know, I do know more about music than I'm letting on, but you know it's your show and I have my own opinions, and so all I know is hey, look my daughter, who is 15 years old. We're driving in the car and she put on two songs in a row, one Nirvana and two Radiohead, and I was like I couldn't have been prouder. There you go, Good.
Speaker 4:Good job, yes, good job, yes good job, just like you did with your kids, that's right, I'm doing with mine they they appreciate some really good music. That's right, that's right all right, how's your? Microphone working. How's your microphone working you got, is it working for?
Speaker 1:you. It sounded better now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I got it all dialed back in sometimes I have to take my I have to take this my unit, my roadcaster pro. I have to take it over to my other studio in delray beach, florida, just a half a mile in from the beach, and I have to use that for my vets connection podcast interviews, and sometimes the settings get a little out of whack, and so they they were for like the last couple weeks, yeah, well, so but now, someday I'm gonna show up, someday I'm gonna show up at your castle and take a picture with the hulk, uh, then to see who's bigger, me or the hulk.
Speaker 4:So I know my gut's bigger, but I'm gonna see miles or bigger than that life-size statue of the hulk there all right for everybody listening.
Speaker 1:He's being very modest. See, this dude is a fucking animal. I'll tell you right now he's, he's, he was. When I met him and everybody's heard the stories I said this motherfucker's a red-headed arnold schwarzenegger. They got he's a big dude, but I didn't give a fuck. I'm afraid of you.
Speaker 1:I'm just good for background noise when you're, when there's a problem and you need there's very few people in this world that I would look at with mutual respect and if it came to that situation, you were, you were one of a very, very, very small few that I, that I, I give the mutual respect. Nod, yeah, yeah, we'd both come out really hurt. We'd both come out really hurt.
Speaker 4:I really only got my ass kicked one time. It was about a 95-pound woman that was hell-bent on killing herself. It was on a call for service and she was sweaty because of all the drugs she took to kill herself. I was trying to wrestle her to the ground. She reared back, kicked me in the jaw and I got permanent TMJ because of it and it's a good story to tell my dentist, but that's the biggest ass kicking I ever took, damn yeah, you get fucking kicked like a mule.
Speaker 4:That hurts yeah, scrawny, scrawny, tiny women are. It was brutal experience and uh, I I hope I never have to do that again.
Speaker 1:You never looked at a scrawny little woman. The same again did you.
Speaker 4:Never.
Speaker 1:Never I'll take that 280-pound parolee.
Speaker 4:I'll take the 280-pound parolee all day over. That 95-pound woman that kicked my ass.
Speaker 1:There you go, there you go, all right, buddy. Well, listen, good talking to you. Enjoy the rest of the show and we'll talk again.
Speaker 4:All right, All right brother, great show.
Speaker 1:Bye, bye. There you go. Big head Todd the Wet Sprocket. There you go. While we're doing this, let me try something else, let me see something. Let me see how come I don't have it. I thought I had it. Yeah, I guess I don't. I was gonna call somebody else, but nah, that's all right. So I haven't done this because because of jack, I like putting on my little background music when I'm uh, there you go, just a little background that you know, keeps those, those pauses.
Speaker 1:A little break in that, right, all right, so so let's get this started. I have tonight the top 10 music genres worldwide. All right, music genres worldwide, all right, and I have a little breakdown of each one and I have some types of, because they all have sub genres to them. So you can't really be specific when it comes to the top 10. You have to be very broad. So it's top 10 genres. Okay, so we'll kick it off at number 10.
Speaker 1:The number 10 most popular genre in the world, worldwide, is metal, metal music. You think it might have been up a little more, maybe, right, and I love these little descriptions that I got with it. Metal, heavy use of electric guitars, often with distortion. Aggressive vocal styles, including growls and screams. I love that, including growls and screams. Who the fuck growls? What is this shit? Okay? Uh, complex song structures with intricate solos, which is good, that's, that's valid. Themes often include fantasy, darkness and rebellion. Isn't music in general, rebellious, if you think about it? Now I'm gonna give you some sub genres in the metal genre. Like I said, each one has a lot of sub genres. So in the metal category we have heavy metal, thrash metal, death metal, black metal, doom metal, power metal, progressive metal, metalcore. That's a fusion of metal and hardcore punk. I don't know. Killswitch, engage as I Lay Dying. A couple of bands, post metal, folk metal. Did you know that there was folk metal Like folk music? The description is incorporating traditional folk music elements. Folk metal often features instruments like flutes and fiddles alongside heavy metal instrumentation. Bands like Fintroll and Eluvitit are known for the I've never. Who the fuck puts flutes, although Jethro Tull did get voted best heavy metal band the first year that category came out. We'll never forget that one, will we? Industrial metal Ministry, nine Inch Nails, gothic metal, new metal so that's like Korn Linkin Park. You know the Deftones. Limp Bizkit was in that. Nu metal kind of thing. I personally like nu metal. I like it Symphonic metal and sludge metal. Sludge metal what the fuck? How do you like combining elements of doom metal and hardcore punk, combining elements of doom metal and hardcore punk? Sludge metal is characterized by heavy, slow riffs and a raw, gritty sound. That's where the growling comes in, I guess in sludge metal. I guess maybe they growl, I don't know. Bands like I Hate God, crowbar, androbar are notable genres. So metal is the 10th most popular music genre, worldwide Number nine. Wow, I thought this would be up in the list a little more than this. Alternative in indie Wow, big Head Todd can't be happy with being number nine. You know, it's alternative slash indie. They kind of I guess I don't know if they're the same, but it's just the way the list came up. So alternative slash indie it's described as diverse sound, often straying from mainstream conventions, emphasis on artistic expression and experimentation, varied instrumentation, from acoustic to electric.
Speaker 1:Lyrics can be introspective and abstract, exploring niche themes. Most lyrics are abstract. I mean that doesn't really say much. I mean most song lyrics are abstract, a lot of shit that don't make sense. You've heard me say it in the past. Some of Bruce Springsteen's lyrics don't make any fucking sense at all. But you know people listen.
Speaker 1:Dave Phillips King of the 45s. He wrote in reggae, classic rock, rhythm and blues, pop, jazz, country, yacht rock. See, yacht rock falls under rock. Country rock could fall under rock. Southern rock falls under rock. So you would just say rock. Southern rock falls under rock. So you would just say rock. Classic rock falls under rock, and that might be on the list. I'm sure rock is on the list. So the three that you kind of afford is five Reggae, rock, rhythm and blues, pop, jazz and country. Okay, we'll see. Motown is R&B and soul. That's Dave Phillips' King of the 45s, in Motown too. That's a subgenre. All of those other ones are subgenres.
Speaker 1:So the different genres, the subgenres of alternative indie include indie rock, post-punkpunk, grunge, shoegaze, which I like. I like shoegaze and the description is known for its ethereal soundscapes, heavy use of electric guitar effects and dreamy vocals. Shoegaze often creates a wall of sound. Bands like bloody, my bloody valentine, slow drive are iconic in this genre and I, I do like shoegaze. Uh, then you have brit pop. You know, the oasis and blur were probably the two biggest names in brit pop. Uh, which is over in england. Uh, dave phillips, king of the 45s, it's ska, we'll see. Uh, folk, we all know that. Alternative hip hop I don't know if I would put that that would be a subgenre of hip hop, not alternative indie. Gothic rock, the Cure, suzy and the Banshees goth rock, but that's a form of alternative, right Experimental rock, the Velvet Underground, new Wave we grew up in New Wave, for most of my listeners, I believe, and that still hangs around.
Speaker 1:Math rock what the fuck is math rock? Known for its complex rhythms, odd time signatures and intricate guitar work. Math Rock emphasizes musicianship and often has instrumental tracks. Bands like Don Caballero and Battles are key examples. Let me you know what? What the fuck is Math Rock? Let me pull this up. Let me go with. Who's this? Don Caballero. Don, let's play a song and see what we can come up with. Don C-A-B-A-L-L-E-R. Oh, let's see what this math rock shit is all about. All right America. Let's see what his number, his biggest download. So he has one song it's got 1.5 million downloads. Another one 2.5 million downloads. Let's see what this song is. This is called Railroad Cancellation by Don Caballero, math Rock. Not bad. So far it's not bad. I like the rhythm to it. Got good pacing. Let's see. I don't know if it's an instrumental, if the dude starts singing or what. Let's see, I don't know. I kind of like this though. Yeah.
Speaker 1:But it's not going anywhere. It just doesn't go anywhere. It just keeps. It's redundant, Unless something changes. All right, this one's for Mark Tal, bro Dude Talent. This song's called the Peter Chris Jazz Drumming from Kiss. Is Peter Chris right, and I don't know. This is less than a.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I'm not going to waste any more time on this. Let me jump ahead. Let me see, that's a change. What's he got on him? A fucking, a hydraulic drill? No, well, that's garbage. I could do that shit, I could do this shit. That's garbage. All right, started off, okay, now it's horrible. Let's get back to this dream.
Speaker 1:Pop, emo, psychedel, rock and surf rock are all sub-genres of alternative indie rock. Now the number eight, the number eight most popular music genre worldwide, is Latin. Okay, let's see it around eight. And the description? Diverse range of styles, including salsa, bachachata and merengue. Rhythmic and melodic emphasis, often with percussion instruments, lyrics, typically in spanish or portuguese, celebrating culture and romance, danceable and festive nature, often associated with celebrations, and a lot of the sub-genres. Here are salsa, bachata, merengue, reggaeton, cumbia, latin pop, tango, noriento what's this? Cha-cha-cha? Okay, cha-cha-cha.
Speaker 1:Bolero, folk music, samba, my favorite, my favorite Latin music, bossa nova. I love, I fucking love bossa nova music. I really fell in love with, like about four years ago I fell in love with bossa nova music, and I'll give you that description A Brazilian genre that blends samba with jazz influences. Bossa nova is known for its smooth melodies and soft vocals. Notable artists include Yaol Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Yeah, go listen to some bossa nova man, you won't be disappointed if you like that. Nice, smooth, and it's not jazz. It's not like that fucking American jazz. I hate that shit. But yeah, then you got Latin jazz and ranchera. So that's the number eight most popular genre in the world.
Speaker 1:The number seven, number seven most popular genre worldwide is reggaeton. Yeah, reggaeton, reggaeton, yeah, reggaeton, reggaetony reggaeton. Reggaeton has danceable beats, often with a dembow rhythm. Use of Spanish lyrics and themes related to culture and lifestyle. Fusion of influences from Latin music, hip hop and dancehall. Use of Spanish lyrics and themes related to culture and lifestyle. Fusion of influences from Latin music, hip-hop and dancehall. Energetic and often features catchy hooks. Now, some sub-genres of reggaeton are traditional reggaeton, dembow, trap-tone, latin pop reggaeton, crossover reggaeton, reggaeton, romantico reggaeton, crossover reggaeton, reggaeton, romanticio reggaeton. Fusion, afro, latin, afro, latin reggaeton, reggaeton, underground reggaeton, electronico, hardcore reggaeton and reggaeton.
Speaker 1:West Coast, east Coast. All right, getting down to number six. He's a ghost. All right, getting down to number six, the number six most popular. This is odd Worldwide.
Speaker 1:The number six most popular music genre worldwide is country, country. I wouldn't even think that would be on a list for worldwide, but evidently it is. Yeah, so you got country music, which is storytelling, lyrics, often about life, love and hardship, use of acoustic instruments like guitars, banjos and fiddles. Throw an electric guitar in there and you got fucking metal. Folk metal, simple songs, structures and catchy melodies, subgenres like country pop, americana and bluegrass. And speaking of the subcultures in this, you got traditional country, you got bluegrass, you got honky tonk.
Speaker 1:Outlaw country that came out in the 70s. Outlaw country became famous back in the 70s with Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. They were like the kings, or they were the OGs, of outlaw country. Country rock. You know of outlaw country. Yeah, country rock, you know. So do you consider? Do you consider the Eagles country rock? Would you consider them country rock? I don't think so, but they are listed in that list of country rock subgenres and I don't think so because you got Leonard Skinner and I mean there's a lot of them. Allman Brothers you can get out on the line 38 Special, but to throw the Eagles in there, I don't think so. I think they just rock. When sometimes they have a country twist, patty says no, I don't think so either. You know they sing songs like el dorado and desperado el dorado. Well, it's probably a good thing jack isn't here. When I said that, what did you just say? Did you just say Eldorado?
Speaker 1:Speaking of Eldorados, I had a beautiful Apollo Yellow 1972 Eldorado Cadillac, cadillac, eldorado. With milk chocolate interior. The thing was literally like 16 and a half feet long, had a 491 cubic inch engine. This thing was a fucking lanyard.
Speaker 1:I loved that car, but I don't know if you've ever dealt with an old car. An old car costs new money. That was, that was yeah, that was the end of that. It lasted a while, though. I had it for a couple years. It was uh, but yeah, you dump money into it and there's always another problem. But it was a beautiful, beautiful Cadillac. Someday I'll get another one. Someday we'll be together, me and my 72.
Speaker 1:It was a 73, I think it was a 73 Eldorado. I do like the 72 Cadillac Eldorados, though they changed the whole design from 72 to 73. If you watch, if you have ever watched the movie the Devil's Rejects, the Rob Zombie movie, they drove around in a 72 Cadillac Eldorado. Yeah, yeah, convertible, that's what mine was a convertible. And 73, they changed the whole design. They gave it a more rounded edge. They had the egg crate grill. Beautiful cars, beautiful.
Speaker 1:I used to pull up to those. I'd drive around Fort Lauderdale and shit like that and I would pull up next to these, like you know, $160,000 cars, these, whatever they were, lamborghinis and Rolls and Porsches and all of them, and I would pull up next to them at a red light and they always, always, gave respect to that car, always. Yeah, I'll have another one someday, I'll have another one. Yeah, country. So Country comes in at number six, which is, I would have thought, Alternative would have come in before Latin. Well, maybe not Latin, but I thought it would come in before reggaeton and country, but it didn't. All right, now we're getting into the top five, getting into the top five. The top five, number five.
Speaker 1:The fifth most popular music genre worldwide is and Dave Phillips, king of the 45s, it was part of his list R&B and soul. See, I don't like this. I don't like like they put R&B and soul like in the same category and it's not. It's really not, but I guess that's what they call it. But you can just go straight. R&b Soul isn't always in its vice versa, but here they got it listed as R&B slash soul. So I think you know I don't like that.
Speaker 1:I don't like that, but a description is smooth, emotive vocal delivery. Incorporation of elements from blues, gospel and funk. Focus on themes of love, love, love, relationships and personal experiences. Rich instrumentation, often featuring horns and strings. Well, yeah, I guess that describes it. And some of the sub-genres of R&B slash soul. You got classic R&B. You got contemporary, like Ray Charles. You got contemporary R&B which is like Chris Brown, usher, beyonce, those people which I'm not a huge fan of. Contemporary R&B, really not Neo soul, so that actually is a thing. Erykah Badu, d'angelo, who hasn't done anything in a while, jill Scott that's kind of Neo Soul. It's got a little bit of hip-hop influence in there. I like Neo Soul, I can listen to it.
Speaker 1:Funk I'm a funk fan. We all know that. If you listen to the show for a minute, I love my funk. You got Parliament. Funkadelic, earth, wind, fire, ohio Players. You can go down the line, go down the line, but I love my funk. You got Soul Pop line, but I love my funk. Uh, you got soul pop. Just soul pop is like adele amy winehouse, more modern, uh, popish twist on soul. Uh, you got urban&B, which is I don't know. I don't listen to Drake, like Drake enough to think that he might be in that, I don't know.
Speaker 1:You got Dave Phillips, king of the 45s, commented in Yep, sly, sly and the Family Stone, arguably the best funk band ever. Arguably I'm not saying they are, but they are. Arguably that it's definitely in the conversation for the best funk bands. Uh, you can go sly and the family stone, parliament funkadelic. Uh, who else do you throw into that category of best funk band? You can't my boys, the ohio players, you can't really knock them out of it. Uh, you know they have a nice little run, but yeah, funk they're all good. Uh, you got psychedelic soul. So this is interesting. Dave Phillips, king of the 45s, just said Sly and the Family Stone.
Speaker 1:Under psychedelic soul they have Sly and the Family Stone, which I don't, and the Temptations. I don't see that Like. This is where I think some of these lists are a little, a little, I don't know, clueless. Maybe people that put lists like this together don't know how to categorize things. I think, and the definition of psychedelic soul is blend soul music and psychedelic rock, influences characterized by experimental sounds and lush arrangements. Um, I I have a hard time calling it psychedelic soul though, but I guess that's just what they want to. They want to label it, but I don't. The temptations, really, they don't even play instruments. The Temptations, they have studio bands, so how could they even be in there? That's what I mean, right? So you get classic soul Aretha Franklin, otis Redding, marvin Gaye, southern soul, al Green right, al Green falls into that Southern Soul category, chicago Soul why does Chicago get its own fucking category, subgenre?
Speaker 1:I don't know Curtis Mayfield in the impressions. Steve Stevens, my man. I don't know Curtis Mayfield in the impressions. Steve Stevens, my man, my man. I'll tell you what. Steve Stevens, while I have him on the screen, is absolutely one of the nicest people you will ever meet in your life. This guy is so positive. Sometimes he is such like he's's just always been since I've known him, since we were really young. It's just I gotta tell you, buddy, you are just a nice human being, you really are man. Um, and he knows a lot about music too.
Speaker 1:Steve stevens is actually the king of cover songs, but he does it in in, in silence. I tried to bring him on the show a couple of times, but he stays. He likes to be in the background. He's that guy, but he is the king of cover songs. He knows them all he knows the good, the bad and the ugly cover songs. He says in regards to funk, let's not forget Parliament, forget parliament. Yeah, that's what I said.
Speaker 1:Parliament, funkadelic, right, um, and so, so parliament, joanne doyle kuzmorski, I love you, um, she just commented in. So parliament was their own thing, right, and funkadelic were their own thing. You know, funkadelic had One Nation Under a Groove and it's George Clinton. Excuse me, george Clinton, he basically was both of them Parliament, you had Dr Funkenstein and we Love the Funk, I mean. So then they just combined, like the two bands. He brought them together, created Parliament, funkadeladelic, which is amazing. But uh, parliament, I believe, did come first. And steve stevens is right, you know. He says, uh, ah, I'm sorry, steve stevens, hold on hold on.
Speaker 1:King of the of the cover songs, big head, todd, the wet socket sprocket, just he like. He was on the show, for I had him on and now he's commenting and I left for a minute. Are you still talking about me? Is this guy for real, really like? That's why he's big head, talking more reasons than one. He does have a huge noggin. It's big like. It's, it's awkwardly big sitting on his shoulders. He really really does look like his icon that he puts up there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, parliament, right, but they put them together, steve Stevens, is it six of one, half dozen of the other? Really, you know what I mean. Is there a difference in the sound? Do you think between Parliament and Funkadelic when they were two separate entities? You know what I mean. Like, is there a difference in the sound? Do you think between Parliament and Funkadelic when they were two separate entities? I don't think so. I think they really had George Clinton's fingerprint on both of them.
Speaker 1:So you know, tiffany the beautiful, the beautiful Tiffany, did I say the beautiful Tiffany? Van Hill Just commented in saying good evening, good evening, beautiful Tiffany. Steve Stevens, king of the cover songs, says thank you, scott, for bringing to attention what is important. That's right, music. This is my church Every Thursday night. This is my church. I've been doing it for 169 episodes now. This is my church every thursday night. This is my church. I've been doing it for 169 episodes now. This is my church. Music is important. Music is a great getaway.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that tiffany, the laugh emojis. Um, oh, I'm sorry, the beautiful tiffany. I can't. She gets on me if I don't say that. By the way, like she really says I, you said my name last, but you didn't say the beautiful before it, so I have to say it. So you know. Mark Talent commented with a. Is that a derogatory comment? I don't know. Yeah, so let's get, let's finish up this. So we got Chicago Soul, the beautiful Tiffany Van Hill. She is a beautiful young lady, she really is.
Speaker 1:I'll be at my church tomorrow. That's the fun. Unfortunately I won't be there tomorrow. I have to miss my horse therapy thing tomorrow. But I'll make it. I'll make it without it. I love it. Yeah, but I won't be there tomorrow. So, uh, yeah, I'll get chastised for this too. Uh, steve, uh, dave phillips came the 45s commented in steve. Uh, talking to steve stevens, I played a great cover today. Joe cocker doing darling, be home soon. Yeah, uh, let's see. Mock talent says oh, 169. The beautiful tiffany van hill uh, says lame, better, see you next. Oh, you'll see me next week, absolutely, you'll see me next Friday.
Speaker 1:My foundation, tiffany, my foundation. I get things. I gotta keep moving forward. Sometimes it runs interference with my other things, but I have to dedicate everything to the one man, one mic foundation. Go check out what we're doing, doing great things. One man, one Mic Foundation, dot org Go check it out Currently teaching four veterans four veterans how to podcast right now.
Speaker 1:So we're doing good, doing good, and I got people lined up that want to step in and veterans it's only for veterans and I teach them how to podcast for free and, uh, they get all my knowledge, all my professional podcaster knowledge, and what we do is, uh, we, we, we design their podcast from concept up to publishing, and the foundation pays for a year of the veterans platform to upload their podcast and we teach them how to do it. I teach them how to do it and we pay for a year subscription so they can upload their podcast for free for one year. So, and if needed, on a case by case basis, the foundation provides them with a free microphone and headphones, because, well, you need those things if you're going to podcast and you know. So we're in podcasting, as I say because I know firsthand that at no point in the history of this country has a veteran had more opportunity to be heard.
Speaker 1:Tell this story, help other veterans and bring awareness to veterans. It's not TikTok which is going away and it's not Instagram, it's podcasting. Every veteran should be podcasting. It's a great platform to uh, you know, bring, bring awareness to to veterans and it's not always veteran based podcasts that they do Like. One of the guys that I'm teaching is uh, he has a furniture seat, office furniture so he's going to do a podcast on office furniture and it's actually pretty interesting, so I guess I'll read. Dave Phillips, king of the 45, says you're a good man, scott. The beautiful Tiffany Van Hill says very cool stuff. The veterans are lucky to have you, thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 1:And Steve Stevens King of the cover songs. You're offering friendship to those who will appreciate it. Nobody knows how loyal and honest a friend other than I yeah, well, it's. It's, uh, it's my purpose in life, to the day I die. I'm in the, I'm in the the. You know, reaching the, the winter of my content, discontent to the winter. You know, I, I've, I've already been through spring, summer. I'm probably in fall right now.
Speaker 1:But you know I'm realistic and the rest of my life will be dedicated to helping veterans and doing the right thing and, just yeah, furthering the cause for my people. Anyway, I've, uh, got on my soapbox too much right here. Let's get back to this, to the music which really important modern soul, gospel soul, steve Stevens, lifelong friends, buddy, you know, and that's the thing about friendships, we all know, even the people that are watching. Doesn't matter if you're young and beautiful, like the beautiful Tiffany Van Hill, or if you're old and just good-looking older person like the rest of us. That's really all we ask for in this age. I just want to say, hey, he's a good-looking guy. Those other days are long gone. He says I'm lucky I have now, buddy, I'm lucky to have all you people. That's why I entertain, I live now, buddy, I'm lucky to have all you people. That's, that's why I I entertain, I live to entertain my friends on Facebook. Uh, gospel soul and alternative r and b, which not a big fan of that either.
Speaker 1:So that's number five. Uh, dave Phillips says I'm a little ahead of you on the back. Nine, my friend. But that's all right. That's all right, we it? Let's slow it down. A little ahead of you on the back. Nine, my friend, but that's all right. That's all right. Let's slow it down a little bit, right? That's what we do. So number four the number four. I love this. I fucking love this. I love this, and it's very ironic because I was talking about this last week with Jack. No show Jack Once again. That's all right, I can do this shit without him. He's fun to have around, but I don't need him. Number four most popular music genre worldwide EDM, electronic dance music. Yay, let's see.
Speaker 2:Let's give me that. Where is it? Where is it?
Speaker 1:oh, here it is yeah, electronic dance music Number four most popular genre of music in the world, and it has a bunch of genres. I just ticked 15 of them. You got house music, which came out of Chicago in the 1980s. Uh, you got techno, which came out of Detroit in the 80s. This is all birthed from disco.
Speaker 1:I believe Steve Stevens, king of the cover songs commented in Al Green in Chicago, did an incredible version of I Am Tired of being Alone. I would love if all my friends saw the video on YouTube. Jody McGee turned me on to it. Let's see something. Let's see what we got here. Let me see Al Green. Let's see if we can play it. See what it sounds like. Ah, I am tired. Let's see, I can't find it. I'm tired, oh tired, of being alone. Al Green, let me see it, says Al Green in Chicago. So let me see if that's actually in Chicago. Unless it's a video, alright. Here we go, tired of being in Chicago with Al Green. Let's see what it sounds like. Let's see what we got. Chicago. Unless it's a video, alright. Here we go, tied to be the Chicago with Al Green, let's hear what it sounds like.
Speaker 2:Let's see what we got. When I came in, I thought I heard you, fellas, rehearsing my tune. If it's cool, let's get together and do it.
Speaker 1:We're going to be copyright hit on this one. I know that.
Speaker 2:One, two, three, four Sounds so good today. Oh shit, yeah, oh shit. I'm so tired of being alone, I'm so tired of playing my own. Won't you have me, girl, just as soon as you can.

Speaker 1:Green, I'm just going to play it. This will get shut down on.
Speaker 2:YouTube I don't care, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, comments are rolling in now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:You can't hit that note. Yeah, Steve Stevens says.
Speaker 2:I hate to say I told you so, but I'm tired of being all wrapped up in my dreams Every night without you, baby. And sometimes. I wonder, oh, I sit down, sit down and I wonder, chicago, I wonder If you love me, love me, love me, if the girl really loves me. The rapper.
Speaker 1:Yeah, good stuff, right, I've been thinking about your off 169 episodes I'm so tired of being alone.
Speaker 2:I'm so tired of being alone, tired of going home.
Speaker 1:Yeah, baby, yeah, tired of being alone. Sweet baby, baby. Get your blood pumping, woo-hoo. Yeah, see, I can do this shit without Jack.
Speaker 2:Get your blood pumping, see, I can do this shit without Jack the Chicago killing it. Ah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Chicago killing the background music. Yeah yeah, this video is definitely getting copyrighted. Let's see what it has to say.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 1:That was great. That was great. That was great. That's good for you. Yeah, good for you. I love they get the conversation All right, all right, all right, yeah, I'm going to get in trouble for that. Yeah, all right, let's see some of these comments.
Speaker 1:Mark bro dude talents. Is that? Yeah, all right, let's see some of these comments. Mark bro dude talent says F Jack, that's right. Steve Stevens, king of the cover songs, that's a cover of Al's own song, that's right. It says good stuff. Mark bro dude talent says midnight special, bro, right, yeah, let me see. What else do we got there? Al Green. So Dave Phillips, king of the 45s, says Al Green is very underrated. I don't think so. I don't think that Al Green is underrated at all. I think he's right where he's supposed to be right. I guess it's a matter of opinion, but I mean, he's always in the conversation. He's always in the conversation. He's always in the conversation. All disco related. Yeah, let me see, it was worth it. Steve Stevens, king of the cover songs. Sorry, I got you in trouble. No, I got myself in trouble. That's all I got myself in trouble. But it's never a strike against my channel, my YouTube channel. So that's all I got myself in trouble, but it's, it's never a strike against my, my channel, my youtube channel. So, uh, that's all right. Milk crates and turntables, my youtube channel, uh, let's see. Let's get back to the music. So we, we left off on uh, techno, then you, this is all.
Speaker 1:Number four most popular genre of music worldwide is EDM, electronic dance music. You got house, techno, trance I like all those Drum and bass. I don't like it's too fast, it's too. It's like the real, like it's 160 to 180 beats per minute, which is too fast for me, but it definitely gets that blood pumping minute, which is too fast for me, uh, but it definitely gets that, that blood pumping um. Then you get dubstep, which is kind of uh, came out of the, the uk garage scene in the 90s. It's very heavy, very heavy. Um, a lot of heavy bass drops in that in that music.
Speaker 1:Electro daft punk craftwork was the original. The originators, they are the ogs. Uh, that's electro. Then future bass no, not really. Haven't really listened to that.
Speaker 1:Hard style, uh, melodic elements, hard dance festivals uh, let me see. Trap music has a lot of 808 kicks. I'm probably talking about a lot of use of hi-hats. Progressive House I like Progressive House. Ambient I like Ambient. Brian Eno, moby there's some Ambient artists that create Ambient music. Chill Wave I like Chill Wave. Acid House I like Acid House house. A lot of synthesizer, a lot of synthesizer in in acid house, which I like. Uh, euro dance like ace of bass, bands like that, uh, and dance pop lady gaga, calvin harris, people like that, that. So, yeah, it's nice to see EDM at number four.
Speaker 1:Now number three let's get into the top three, top three most popular genres, music genres worldwide. Top three. Number three is rock. Rock is number three. Remember when rock ruled the world? This is like. This is kind of strange that it's just like it's only number three. It used to be everything, everything. Rock was number one everywhere and that shows a big shift, a big generational shift. And who causes these generational shifts? The music industry, right, the music industry, the people. Just, they just listen If they like, they follow, and then it just gets sent in a whole other direction. So, rock, you know electric guitars, bass, drums we know what rock is. Sub-genres of rock there's classic rock. We know that.
Speaker 1:Hard rock, acdc, aerosmith, deep Purple, punk rock, sex Pistols, ramones, clash you know the Clash is considered punk rock. But I don't know. I really think that they just got put in that group, kind of like what I say about Tesla. Tesla got tagged as a hair band, but they're very good musicians. They were very good music. They weren't like that teased up hair, they were more like grungier. They didn't do all that makeup shit. But Tesla gets put in that hair band. They had long hair like bands in the 60s, they weren't do all that makeup shit, but Tesla gets put in that hair band. They had long hair like bands in the 60s, they weren't like that, but they get stuck in that genre. And I say that about the Clash. The Clash got put in the punk category but if you listen to their albums it's not really punk. It's not punk per se. There's a lot of reggae influences in there, reggaeton influences in there. It's all different, like they were a unique blend. They're just a kind of a beast unto themselves, but they get stuck in that punk rock thing.
Speaker 1:So, alternative rock REM, radiohead, you know the usuals Depeche Mode, maybe Grunge, you know. We know that. Nirvana, pearl Jam, soundgarden, the Big Three, alice in Chains I should say the Big Three. Well, let's see, you got the four. Metal Metallica, iron Maiden, black Sabbath, progressive rock Known for its complex song structures. Prague rock Steve Stevens, king of the covers, agrees he says correct about the Clash. That's why I like them. And you know Mick Jones. Mick Jones went on to To create Big Audio Dynamite. Mick Jones had a real eclectic sound.
Speaker 1:You know, he was listening to, you know, hip-hop and funk and all that. That was kind of, I think, his his influence in the band. And when he went on to create big audio dynamite, you could tell in his songs that there's a lot of rhythm, very rhythmic songs uh so he kind of went off to do his own thing.
Speaker 1:Uh, let me see, prog rock. Is pink floyd prog rock? Would you call pink floyd prog rock? Progressive rock maybe when they first started, right, but that was more psychedelic when they first started, like, where would you? Rush is definitely prog rock. Rush is definitely definitely prog rock, you know? Um, yes, yes, is prog rock. Uh, I, I don't put pink floyd in there. Pink floyd is rock. I don't put Pink Floyd in there. Pink Floyd is rock.
Speaker 1:Maybe they touched prog rock for a minute before they fucking got launched into the stratosphere of rock and roll history, but I wouldn't say that prog rock. Genesis used to be prog rock, you know? Uh, genesis, genesis used to be used to be prog rock, but I would put them as more. I'd say they're more pop rock. They were radio rock, right? Genesis once Thank God, and this is funny because Jack and I talked about this last week Once fucking overrated Peter Gabriel left the band.
Speaker 1:They became more listenable and then they just became like radio rock. So it's just pop rock and they got some great music. There's no doubt. I'm not taking anything away from them, but I would not put them in prog rock, like I said, when they started with with peter gabriel and he's all that fucking artist bullshit.
Speaker 1:I hate, I fucking hate when bands did that. They tried like performance art during their fucking shows and that's why I really started to not like Styx and and there's some other bands. I mean, the only real good performance art that you had on stage was Kiss. But Kiss was what they were, right, they what were. They were Kabuki makeup and they were originators of that shit. So you can't really uh, uh, I can't really knock that. Uh, alice Cooper had had that, but his was like shock, shock and awe, right, and that's what every fucking testosterone-driven teenager in the 70s was all about. Was that that Ted Nugent shit? And Alice Cooper could hit that nerve in a teenager. What was one of his songs? Teenage Lament 79, I think, but I don't know. I just I digress. But the Genesis, yeah, maybe originally prog rock, but not really. Then you got indie rock like the Arctic Monkeys. That's probably like you know, you got the strokes, but I I don't really follow too much, but uh, then you got post rock.
Speaker 1:Post rock uh, I don't even know what the fuck post rock is. I never heard of it. John emphasizes atmosphere and texture over traditional song structures. Post rock often features instrumental compositions and experimental sounds. So in other words, it's fucking garbage. It's garbage rock. That's what I call that Post-rock. People make shit up you know what and I guarantee you that's what it is. We don't really have, we're not this. So we're just going to make up a subgenre and we're going to call it our own and we're going to call it. It's post-rock. Dude, get the fuck out of here with post-rock, get the fuck. I've never heard any fucking bands create it that would call themselves post-rock. Maybe because post-rock is such garbage it doesn't ever make it anywhere. Good luck being a post-rock is such garbage, it doesn't ever make it anywhere. Good luck being a post-rock band. Yeah, working at the fucking post office during the day? Post office rock. Look at me, see, I don't need Jack. Fuck Jack. Post-rock, that's post-office rock. That's what it is Actually. Post-off Office Rock might be better than Post Rock. I don't know.
Speaker 1:They had Southern Rock that broke in the 70s, you know. So. You had Southern Rock broke in the 70s. Then the 90s come along and it became country pop, pop, country right, it's garbage, it's still garbage.
Speaker 1:I know Mark Tao, bro dude, he fucking likes that. Country pop shit, pop, country shit. I don't get it. I don't get it. But Garage rock, you know the White Stripes, the Stooges, you know them. Folk rock Fucking folk rock. Bob Dylan, simon, goff, uncle, mumford Sons I didn't even like Mumford Sons. I think that Mumford Sons were a fucking. They were one of those, like you know, flash in the pan. Oh, look, they're different. And then that was that. They were done. I don't know New Wave. You know Depeche Mode, blondie, emo, steve Stevens, king of the cover songs, uh, comments. And if I hear free bird again, I'm going to put my revolver in my mouth. That's when I reach for my revolver. Yeah, you know that song that was. That was that, that was a. Uh, let me see that song that was. That was that, that was a. Uh, let me see, let me pull up something here. Here we go. I actually have this album by Mission of Burma, great bass intro. I know Steve Stevens likes this one.
Speaker 2:Mission of Burma, boston band. Once I had my heroes, once I had my dreams. But all of that is changed now. Yeah, talk about gritty. It's not that comfortable. No, yeah, talk about gritty. Yeah, yeah, yeah, here we go. That's when I reach for my revolver, that's when it all gets blown away.
Speaker 1:That's when I reach for my revolver. That's when it all gets blown away. I can't go on. I'll play that whole song too. I like the fact that I don't give a fuck anymore. I used to be so like protective of this, like I don't want to get, I don't want to get taken, but after all these episodes, I don't care, I don't fucking care. Put a copyright thing on it. You know, I get these, these, I get these notifications now that your monetized video is being shared with the owner of that music. That's fucking great, because I ain't making no money off it. I do this podcast for free, so give them all the money. Oh see, mark Talbro, dude talent is gonna stack. He wants to get on this rabbit hole with these great Boston bands. I can't do it right now because I'll keep going. I'll do it and I'm getting off topic, by the way, getting off topic, and let's finish up.

There was a shift in the music industry and hip hop. Just, you know, for whatever reason, whatever reason, it's more popular than rock. It's more popular than all of it. You got mumble rap. I don't even know what the fuck that is. Rap rock. Rage Against the Machine Linkin Park I don't even know the fuck that is. Uh, rap rock. Rage against the machine Linkin park I don't.
