>>72373125
What do you mean by "Big 4"?

Pop rock.
>u2
>coldplay
>muse
>oasis

>>72373279
I'd say if you replaced Rush with King Crimson you'd get a Big Four of British Prog that's hard to argue with

>>72373307
If you could reduce the genre down to 4 important bands in said genre
It's sort of inspired by >>72373276 who I think were the first to be called a big four of a genre

Post-rock
>Swans
>GY!BE
>Explosions in the Sky
>Sigur Ros

screamo

>bullet for my valentine
>brand new
>at the drivethru
>jimmy eat world

Glam Rock
>David Bowie
>T. Rex
>Roxy Music
>Lou Reed

>>72373382
I'd probably go for someone like Slade in place of Lou. Lou was only really Glam on a couple of releases.

Hardcore Punk
>dead kennedys
>bad brains
>minor threat

British First-Wave Punk:
>Sex Pistols
>The Clash
>The Damned
>The Buzzcocks

>>72373271
this is a shit-tier contrarian list... the point of a Big Four list is that each artist is BIG, so Doom is automatically out. BIG implies sales and popularity

the top four high-selling rappers are: eminem, kanye west, jay z and lil wayne in that order.

this isn't a list on YOUR opinion

objectively the BIG FOUR of rap are:

Eminem
Kanye West
Jay Z
Lil Wayne

these are the biggest names in the genre. Period. I don't even like 75% of that list, but my opinion is not valid here.

Nu Metal:
>Slipknot
>Korn
>Disturbed
>Rage Against the Machine

>>72373309
replace oasis with radiohead

>>72373497
Swap Rage for Limp Bizkit.
Rage are more pre-Nu-Metal

>>72373476
I'll add that the fifth high selling rapper is technically Flo Rida

so in terms of popularity

Eminem
Kanye
Jay Z
Wayne
Flo Rida

are the worlds most popular rappers of all time

nobody would say these are the five BEST rappers or the five CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED artist, but there is a strong case that these are the five BIGGEST names of the genre all time.

>>72373513
goddammit i didnt even think about limp bizkit. thanks.

Nu Metal:
>Slipknot
>Korn
>Disturbed
>Limp Bizkit

>>72373497

>using the term Nu Metal
homosexual detected

>>72373497
Missing Deftones.

>>72373476
>Kendrick and Nas are on the list
Do we use the same definition for the word contrarian?

>>72373539
Missed Linkin Park

>>72373612
and SOAD

Shoegaze
>My Bloody Valentine
>Slowdive
>Ride
>Verve

>>72373271

doom is goat but not big lmao if kanye is not in your list you're playing yourself

Folk
Bob Dylan
Crosby
Stills
Nash

something about this is ironic I hope

>>72373634
>>72373612
>>72373558
who would be replaced for these tho.

Post-hardcore
>Minutemen
>Hüsker Dü
>Fugazi
>Unwound

The first two represent the first wave of PHC in the mid-late 80s, and the second two represent the second wave in the early-mid 90s.

>>72373309
gay rock?

Slowcore:
>Red House Painters
>Low
>Codeine
>Galaxie 500

Pretty predictable list, feel free to change around

>>72373178
arguable

>>72373271
this is a backpacker-ass list dude; sure you don't want to switch NWA out for Common or KRS-One?

>>72373476
Jay Z definitely deserves a spot, but I don't think it's all 100% album sales

>>72373527
yes good point

Tupac
Biggie
Jay-Z
Drake

Psychedelic rock
>The Doors
>Pink Floyd
>The Red Crayola
>Jimi Hendrix

IDM:
Aphex Twin
Squarepusher
Boards of Canada
Autechre

Jangle Pop:

>The Soft Boys

Trap
>Future
>Young Thug
>Gucci Mane
>Lil Uzi Vert

>MBV
>Slowdive
>Ride

No one will agree on the 4th band. I dont think JAMC counts. Indie rock has the same problem, you got BtS, MM, and Pavement, but who is number 4?

>>72373195

Who says they're not grunge? What are they?

>>72373382
>>72373413
glam only has a big 3

whoever you put for the fourth is gonna be second-tier

>>72373724
Sludge Rock/Metal / alt rock

They definitely had influence both on and from grunge

Goth Rock
>The Cure
>Bauhaus
>Sisters of Mercy
>Christian Death

Krautrock:
>Can
>Neu!
>Faust
>Amon Düül II

>>72373723
I think Lush is generally accepted as the 4th of Shoegaze

dubstep

>Skream
>Benga
>Burial
>Skrillex

>>72373726
Slade were definitely important though
They were a really, really big band in Britain, more than even Bowie was
>>72373752
Swap Siouxsie and the Banshees for Christian Death

>>72373672
replace galaxie 500 with Duster and its perfect

Krautrock

I can get behind this for Hip-Hop

>>72373810
according to wikipedia they are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Jam

Indie Folk
>Bon Iver
>Fleet Foxes
>The Decemberists
>Sufjan Stevens

>>72373382

I'd swap Roxy Music for New York Dolls

Proto-Punk:
>The Stooges
>MC5
>New York Dolls
>Velvet Underground

>>72373810
Define grunge then

>>72373801
>this heat
>joy division
>swans
>pil

>>72373831
Swap sufjan for mumford

>Darkthrone
>Immortal
>Burzum
>Emperor

4th slot could also be Mayhem, both bands had one classic album and were very influential.

>>72373820
>is lisa germano slowcore?
Geek the Girl and a few albums after are certainly slowcore, but she shifted he sound to more alt-rockish in the 2000's

trip hop
>Portishead
>Massive Attack
>Tricky
>Sneaker Pimps

>>72373853

I'd put The Dictators in there but not sure who I'd swap with. The Dolls I suppose but they had more influence

>>72373831
Gotta Stuck Iron and Wine in there somehow

maybe remove Bon Iver

>Lo-Fi
Daniel Johnston
Ween
Sebadoh
Beck

>>72373869
I was actually between the two but I figured someone would yell at me and say they aren't folk anymore

>>72373688
Big Four for rap:

Notorious B.I.G.
Big Pun
Rick Ross
Fat Joe

Those are the biggest rappers of all time senpai hands down not even debatable

Psycadelic Rock
>Pink Floyd
>Tool
>Dire Staights
>Tame Impala

Blues rock
>Led Zeppelin
>Jimi Hendrix
>The Rolling Stones
>Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band

>>72373382
>no sweet

Beatles solo career-core
>Paul McCartney
>John Lennon
>George Harrison
>Wings

>>72373836
Dude, no way.

The big 3 are:
Bowie
T Rex
Roxy Music

and if you're even going to include a fourth (and probably you shouldn't) it should be Sweet. New York Dolls weren't even into the theatrics and cabaret-influences that was so important to the genre-defining glam rock artists. They were proto-punk!

>>72373708
lil uzi over migos ? no

>>72373925

>>72373662
Get rid of Disturbed.

>>72373700

>>72373831
Where are Neutral Milk Hotel and The Microphones?
>>72373217
Nice, Weezer aren't specifically Power Pop though, I'd exchange them with Jellyfish, or The Posies.

>>72373860

>swans
>post-punk

I mean yeah, they had a phase and TGA/COG are even my favorites from them, but they far more readily encapsulate no wave or post-rock.

>Industrial
Throbbing Gristle
Einstürzende Neubauten
Skinny Puppy
Coil

>>72373700
you need Cream or the Thirteenth Floor Elevators on there instead of the Red Crayola

>>72373860
>swans
Fuck off

>>72373963
velvet underground are not psychedelic rock
13th floor elevators are not as relevant as the others

>>72373665
This is pretty fair. If you were to take out 80s PHC (since it's more just punk rock, doesn't really fit in with many post-hardcore acts) I think At The Drive-In and Drive Like Jehu would be good fits. Shellac and Mclusky too.

>>72373813
what about Pelican?

>>72373894

Switch Sneaker Pimps with Gorillaz. Even people who don't know what trip hop is know Clint Eastwood and Feel Good Inc.

>>72373989
filth and children of god are good idiot

>>72373941

But glam and proto punk go hand in hand. And they certainly had the look even if the style was more rough.

>>72373700
Pink Floyd
The Zombies
The 13th Floor Elevators
The Byrds

Rock
>The Beatles
>Elvis Presley
>The Rolling Stones

>Iron Maiden

>(cant decide between motorhead or judas priest, leaning toward judas priest tho)

>>72374053
Blue Oyster Cult desu

>>72374029

Swap The Beatles for Buddy Holly

>>72374053
Judas Priest, probably

Singer/Songwriter
>Nick Drake
>Elliott Smith
>Bob Dylan
>Leonard Cohen

>>72373980
idk, Id put Teenage Fanclub or Fountains of Wayne before the Posies or Jellyfish.

>>72374053
Metallica is specifically thrash, they sound nothing like the others

you're right; it's Priest

>>72374053
Put both Judas and Motorhead in and get rid of Metallica to the Thrash big four

Waifu-core
>Nico
>Bjork
>Joanna Newsom
>Grimes

>>72374053
Just swap Metallica for Motörhead and you're good

>>72373752
banshees?

>>72374051
>>72374068
The Beatles are the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed rock act of all time. Like them or not they are obviously on the list.

>>72373700

>Tame Impala
>Of Montreal
>Dungen
>The Black Angels

Heavy Metal:

>Iron Maiden
>Motorhead
>Judas Priest

>>72373881
I'd say mayhem has to be on there since Euronymous and Dead created so many of the legends, and Burzum and Darkthrone were pretty key. So guess switch out Emperor or Immortal, IDK which though.

Also 1st wave bm would be
>Venom
>Mercyful Fate
>Celtic Frost
>Bathory

Stoner Metal
>Sleep
>Kyuss
>Electric Wizard
>???
All i can think of is 2nd tier stoner bands that want to sound like Sabbath, was thinking Melvins but there don't really fit the bill

>>72374073
You picked a hard-ass genre my man.

I mean, first of all, Nick Drake and Elliott Smith are definitely too underground to be big four. Especially when you've got people like Joni Mitchell and Elton John and shit hanging out in that genre.

Bob Dylan
Joni Mitchell
Billy Joel
Elton John

I love Cohen (more than Dylan) but we're talking about the big names, here.

>>72374137

I think the problem here is that we're lumping the different coasts all together. It'd be a lot easier to get big fours for each coast.

Pic related is east coast, west coast, southern and underground hip hop respectively.

>>72374149
That's a good one

>>72374156
that's a good label, perfect.

>>72373178
>2Pac
>Nas
>Eminem
>Rakim
it terms of overall influence over the entire genre, Kanye's influence is only over the new school, and Kendrick has yet to be influential to anyone cause he's only been known to the general public for a few years.

>>72374196
fair point, rap is a big genre, and we're trying to cover too many subgenres and eras all at once

"underground" to me is kind of inconsistent with "big," though

and we're leaving out things like Horrorcore, of course, which is where Eminem would fit in

Pop-Punk:
>Green Day
>Blink 182
>NoFX
>The Offspring

>>72373700

>Sex Pistols
>Iggy Pop & The Stooges

>>72374257
Got the title backwards, as I said, my bad.

>>72374268
"big" in the context of underground would be the most respected/'popular' of the groups in the label.

I almost added RTJ but I don't think they count.

I'll add a horrorcore row real quick.

>>72374271

tl;dr

>>72374957
No Faithless?? You're doing it wrong.
I don't think Sneaker PImps deserve to be on there either. They only had one really stellar trip-hop album.

>>72374045

I'd say that's characteristic of trip hop in general as it usually draws from an eclectic blend of styles. I wouldn't call Gorillaz that much more all over the place than Cibo Matto or even Garbage, and the latter merely adopted trip hop into their brand of alt rock.

>>72373706
put orange juice in

>>72373178
Honestly, I'm not sure if anyone could narrow down" definitive artists of rap" to just four. Biggie and 2pac on the same list seems redundant to me, but if you choose one or the other a shitstorm will brew.
>>72373217
I'd like to replace Weezer or Cheap Trick with the New Pornographers, but I suppose they're not nearly as big.
>>72373242
plenty of other artists mix genres on the reg
>>72373266
Good choices but 'noise rock' is a pretty broad category. SY definitely belongs, though.
>>72373279
seems about right
>>72373284
this list includes the only three "britpop" groups anyone really cares about so yeah
>>72373309
is "pop rock" really a genre? you could include any rock band that has enjoyed a lot of mainstream success, in which case the beatles definitely belong at the top
>>72373382
Don't know if Lou counts, he was only vaguely glam for a brief period. I'd put Sparks in his place.
>>72373426
this seems about right
>>72373464
this does too
>>72373642
Seconding >>72374610
>>72373700
This depends on whether or not we include neo-psych. Regardless, Floyd was only psych for their first few albums, and most of the Doors' material wasn't overtly psychedelic.
>>72373706
What about the Byrds? Basically created the whole jangle pop sound, and did it better than almost any of their followers.
>>72373752
Swap CD and SoM with Banshees and Joy Division (nobody ever calls them "goth rock" but if they'd worn more makeup they'd be regarded as the quintessential goth group)
>>72373801
All good choices but Wire should be at the top.
>>72373853
Perfect list - these are absolutely the four most important immediate influences on punk rock.
>>72373910
I'd offer Pavement only because they're usually labelled 'lo-fi' - but IMO only their debut sounds 'lo-fi', their other albums have great production value. Mountain Goats would also be a strong contender.
>>72373925

Should I add them?

>>72375401
>top four
oops
but who the hell has a top four list anyway

>>72373853
I'd like to see The Sonics in there somewhere but that's a super solid list already

>>72375147

Radiohead has like one trip-hop song. But holy fucking shit, did they make it count.

>>72373195
Soundgarden isn't grunge, more like hard rock

>>72375436

Thrash metal, that's where OP probably got the idea.

>>72374029
most popular music since the 50's could be classified in some way as "rock" so this isn't specific enough
>>72374050
indie rock is also not specific enough
>>72374073
Same as above, "singer-songwriter" isn't even a genre. I get what you mean, though - folk-rock-ish poet-singers and whatnot, in which case Joni Mitchell belongs on this list.
>>72374206
No Wave could basically just be a 'big three' with Branca, SY, and Swans
>>72374369
Jazz and folk are way too broad, although if your folk list was changed to "folksy 70's singer-songwriters" I'd agree wholeheartedly. Calling Animal Collective 'folk' in any ways is absolutely ridiculous, and Wilco is also a real stretch. Seconding the opinion that it's not a proper new wave list without Talking Heads.
>>72374380
Needs Neko Case and Lambchop. Maybe Wilco, too.
>>72374640
I like this better but still needs Talking Heads, and I'd definitely put XTC ahead of the Cars or Devo.
>>72374882
half of these are acceptable, the other half are hilarious

>>72375510
Not trip hop

Midwest Emo

They were the grungiest of the grunge bands

I'd say it sounds like a crash collision between Portishead and Can.

Just because it is electronic doesnt mean it isnt folk, listen to the melodies and style of peacebone and especially unsolved mysteries and you will hear that they are pretty much folk songs played with synthesizers, also they have made a plethora of folk eps and freak folk albums

>>72375628

Eh, I guess. I wouldn't doubt that both bands influenced OKC in some form or fashion, though. Especially Can, Radiohead are not-so-closet Can fanboys.

American Football is more of that twinkly, math rock-ish emo, not midwest

I'd put Jawbreaker in there instead

>>72373125

>Nirvana
>Mudhoney
>Alice In Chains
>Pearl Jam

Can't forget Mudhoney. Steve and Mark invented the genre back in '81.

>>72374369
Just because something is "rooted in folk" doesn't classify it as folk music. I understand what you're trying to say about animal collective but, at least in terms of my definition of "big", they don't deserve to be there. They are not influential in that genre nor do they exemplify it. Folk and contemporary folk are just too broad anyway.

Bon Iver is definitely more popular and influential than iron and wine. He is probably second tier

Alternative Metal

trying to get some of those bands considered for nu metal big 4s out of the shitfest

>>72374420
Horrorcore is generally a shit genre. There are very few classics. I guess maybe wolf by Tyler the creator or earl by earl sweatshirt?

>>72376701

>>72376809
I was thinkin about putting helmet, who would they replace though? They're def not as mainstream as the other four but they are very influential to the genre

Synthpop(in no particular order)

Gary Numan

Soft Cell

>>72376894
Jedi Mind Tricks
Gravediggaz
Dalek could count as the kind of bridge the gap between the classic '90's stuff and what the genre has come to represent today with noisy groups like Death Grips

>>72376861
Tool i think, Just because they aren't as metal as the others

Duo Hip-Hop
>OutKast
>Gang Starr
>Mobb Deep
>Eric B. & Rakim

>>72376992
Jedi Mind Tricks is horror core? more like terror core.

I'd put Necro, Brotha Lynch Hung, and early Cage before JMT.

>>72377025
pete rock and cl smooth?
black star?

>>72377025
Shouldnt count if only one of the two raps. Insert Run the Jewels and Clipse over Gang Starr and Eric B. And Rakim. They are both great but there's a difference between having one and two MCs

>>72377128
why?
he said hip hop duos, which makes no distinction between the emcees and the deejays

Dad rock

>Led Zepplin

>>72377158
I know what he said, but listening to an album with two MCs who have recorded together extensively and have developed a lot of chemistry and can play off of eachother makes a different kind of music than a rapper who has a producer that only makes beats only for him. Yes they are both duos but they are different

>>72377158
agree. when you have someone who made as many great beats as Premier did you have to take both into account. Also, not a jab at Guru, but DJ Premier was definitely the main reason I listened to Gangstarr.

>>72377066
>>72376992

Gravediggaz could work.

>>72374292
while no math rock bands are really big I think Hella should probably be there instead of Shellac. American Football is hard because they're kind of more emo than math

>>72377271
It would be hard for me to include a group with such a limited discography. I think Outkast is a given, Mobb Deep is a tier below but still a solid representation, and then after that you'd choose your two out of Run The Jewels, Clipse, UGK, or 8ball & MJG. If the point is to name 4 groups that represent the genre by being the best/most popular, you don't have much to choose from

>>72377519
Oh right
I forgot the idea was to post the four biggest names

Soft Rock

1 - Bread
2 - Air Supply
3 - Eagles
4 - America ( Or Chicago, maybe)

For those who like this genre, try brazilian group Roupa Nova, brutally underestimated

>>72377620
>Chicago

Fantastic group. If Kath wasn't such a retard they'd be legendary

>Boston
>Kansas
>Journey
>Foreigner

>>72375540
This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read on this website

>>72374777
they have a sound

>>72373723
I've always thought of Whirlpool as being the number 4 album (at least of the 90s) so Chapterhouse maybe?

It seems like there's a huge amount of Soft Rock bands inspired in Geography class, dunno why

BTW, being a bad english speaker, i don't really know if "inspired in" is correct. Is it, ameribros?

>>72377938
it's the right word, but you'd say 'inspired by geography class' rather than 'inspired in'

That's what i thought. Thanks.
