I'M RIGHT!
BOYAKASHAH!

Seriously, explain yrself. I find that the more "genre-bending" that's done in pop-music, the crappier the band...until you get some funky-jazzy-hiphop-metal-buckethead-jacopastorious-billfirth-weatherreport-doodoo.

The few genre experiments that do suceed, like say, "Check Your Head" are much rarer than then the failures like, say, the Bossanova songs on Hello Nasty.

Greatness in modern music consists of cornering the market on one particular sound...finding a unique voice that exists outside of labels (Portishead is my favorite example)...OR just playing straight-out Garagey RockandRollah.
