Punk & Metal Music

@joeshlabotnik

The music groups were created by someone who’s name I forget who was involved in the very first incarnation of JPR. He later left and the categories continued under later admins. I think there was talk at one time of combining them up, but it never happened.

is a fools errand particularly over time, full of slippery slopes as well. Acid rock is probably not in the common vernacular anymore, but I’d definitely consider Pink Floyd’s early albums as acid rock. I think there was a notable shift to “rock” around the Wish You Were Here album.

I’m not a fan of how the music groups are titled at JPR; I think…[Read more]

Bumping.

Did @satan ever come back?

I mean, they had an organ featured in most of their songs, for Hell’s sake. And their second single was a Neil Diamond cover. Not exactly the hallmarks of Metal.

Now Ian Gillan’s singing…. well that went on to influence a whole lot of metal singers, of course. And he eventually did one album & tour with Black Sabbath.
