Two Interactive Genre-Education Sites

     We want to thank the people at http://www.concerthotels.com/100-years-of-rock/ for permitting bloggers to easily link to the below interactive study results. Their hard work shows a perception of the flow of genres and their origins. Clicking on a particular genre designation triggers playing of a sample song.

     If you’re not quite satisfied and aren’t fearful of being overwhelmed, head to http://everynoise.com/engenremap.html. We have mentioned the site before, but the capabilities have expanded. It is not possible to enter a band name into a “find artist” search field in order to discover the genre.

     But be prepared. Below is a capture of a portion of the webpage. Clicking on one of the genre designations triggers the playing of a sample song.
