Worst Imaginary Genre?
HotchkissTrio
music singer on TV last night.
I think my most hated possible Genre would be:
Christian-Smooth-Jazz-Country
Yuk! Casio tone back-beats, strings, bad Sax playing AND cheesy
lyrics about God! All in a "twang" singing voice! AAAAHHHH! Of
course you could have huge colaborative efforts, like Amy Grant,
Shania Twain and Kenny G's breakthrough album: "God's Songs in the key
of Twang"!
PS: It's not that I hate Christian music in general, it's just that
most of it is really really cheesy and badly done. Of course, you
could probably say the same about any genre.

Who needs to imagine? Most of the scariest genres are for some reason
preceded by the word "christian." I've seen christian hardcore/punk/heavy
metal bands etc. I do not take that as a reflection on the religion
itself, but some of the people involved in it. As one bumper sticker I
saw once read "Dear God, please save me from your followers." Regardless
of your diety or theistic sentiment I'm sure this resonates with many
people.
Of course, if I wanted to go along with the thread here, I suppose we can
imagine what would happen if we had other religions and philosophies
involved. I mean you don't see Buddhist Rock bands... Catholic
Bluegrass...
Or how about Scientologist Fusion? Oh wait, that's been done!

Reminds me of that episode of "King of the Hill" where Hank says to
the Christian singer: "You're not making religion better;
you're making rock worse".

How about Scientologist Fusion where you let your no-talent

God's name so it justifies my lame ass playing". It's a hokey ass,
pretentious genre in my opinion. I had to let a bass player go back
in January, and damn if his new ad didn't pop up in Harmony-Central
listing Christian music as a genre. If he had done that in his first
ad, I never would have hired his lame ass. As soon as I see Christian
listed, that's enough for me to move on and look elsewhere. Geeze,
why not have atheist and agnostic genres as well.

No, no - the thread isn't "Most Impossible Genre"...

It sums up my feelings about Christian rock so eloquently and succinctly.
Someone should tell Kenny G he's not making jazz smoother, he's making it worse ;-)

Already been done. For real. Story on NPR
today. Hick Hop. It's appalachian banjo
mixed with encarcerated prison hip hop.

Ah, yes, I believe I heard of this one. Closely related to Cracker Jack,
which is yodeling mixed with break beats I think.

I doubt he takes much consolation in his current crop of spokesmodels either..

Likely cuz most of them, despite their protestations to the contrary,
aren't Christians by any stretch of the imagination.

Fellow named Ellington wrote a few things for the Big Guy. As a matter of
fact,
the Duke is one of the few people to contact us mortals from the other side
of the Heavenly Gated Community. He said the music up there was great, 5 man
sax section of Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, Johnny Hodges, Charlie Parker
and Ben Webster, nice little rhythm section, especially now with Ray Brown,
some hellacious horns like Chet Baker, Dizzy Gillespie, J. J. Johnson and
Jack Teagarden.... said it would be perfect except for one little thing.
The Big Guy's wife is a singer.

I dislike the genre, dislike the background noise, but... that mandolin
player in
Nickel Creek can play anything about as good as anybody on any instrument.
Stunning really. But I'd never buy a cd by them. Unless it was instrumental
only.
Phil Keaggy. Sure, his christianity is probably a psychedelic artifact but
his playing is not lame ass. Not quite my cup o t but his ass is surely gone
cuz
he played it off a long time ago.

Tharpe and all the great black gospel quartets and soul singers who came
out of that scene - but the recent vanilla-flavored Christ-Pop had to
have been invented by the Dark Angel to drive the people who truly need
salvation (sex, drugs, and rock-n-rollers) away from Him.

Sematic blurr-o-vision....
The ones you describe....."pray," about somebody's need, that they could
easily enough fill. Yes, often they really really really..... prEy.
The real deals...... fill it. Make the tough choices. Suffer the
loss/consequences. Keep themselves separate. Are Very.... Odd....
I could make a list, but then such a list could sink a ship, which ship was
not made for the safety of a harbor but for the open seas' adventure task...
See what you started Max!

My only dealing with a, "Christian," record company resulted in a polite no
thank you... from me.
If it had happened during my tenure as a doorman/bouncer, I probably would
have been more disposed to the knotting together the whip and beating the
crap out of somebody track...

Better to be a Genuine Rep masquerading as a Dark Angel.... to get close
enough.... Those the agent is sent for sense it anyway, which is the point
of the trip, and enough are damn glad of the tumblers in the lock falling
into place, the door opening....

Yeah, I would have been rolling on the floor when I vaguely made this
out on my computer screen, but I was too far gone already :-)
Immediately I thought of Smokey and the Bandit for some reason.

Hey - I'm new in here. (Not a guitar player so I'll keep quiet, but
you guys really have a great discourse in comparison with most of the
other ng's I've watched!)
I didn't know that Nickel Creek was a Christian band - I heard them
open up for Bela Fleck at Ravinia two summers ago, and I thought they
sounded good (relentlessly pleasant, at least).... then again, I tend
to completely miss the lyrics in a tune. But their voices were great.
