Genre Bonder
Not a reggae fan but a Marley man
Can’t dubstep accept but Skrillex I can
Not a drum n bass but a Roni Size
For Ska The Specials take that special prize
Operation Ivy is the only punk
D’Angelo is the only hunk
Oasis only sounds good when drunk
And Thundercat’s got that modern day funk
For the old style funk stick with Stevie Wonder
But smash the prison of a music genre
All this modern day folk stroke pop
When all we need is just one Fleet Fox
White rap’s just crap and that’s crap for me
But the Beastie’s what we aspire to be
Cock rock’s only really got Guns n Roses
Comedy Rock’s got Tenacious D
But taking the whole of music comedy
Flute of the Commodores a priority
RnB only needs Beyoncé
Lad bands only Arctic Monkeys
And The Monkees proves for 60s pop The Beatles is all I ever pop
(I rhymed pop with pop)
Hip – hop’s hard to pick the best
But for old skool crank A Tribe Called Quest
For old old skool Grand Master Flash
NWA/ Dre for gangsta rap
And country’s crap bar Johnny Cash
Reggeaton no no Despacito
Though King Africa is jokes to know
Bomba’s the only one to flow
But don’t go quizzing me on music types
For every type there’s one or two I like
I don’t see the point investing time
I don’t want good, I want sublime (not the band)
80s New Wave just give me The Cure
Proggy metal needs Tool and no more
Though Faith No More for metal rap
And Rage too but they’re more funk than that
Brit pop – Pulp – why go any further?
Though post Brit pop, Blur needs a whirler
We don’t need Duffy, Adele or Paloma when Amy the only Brit soul wonder
And Kate Bush was the best of British quirk
The only Icelandic outlandish prog electro pop is Björk
And Morrisey? He’s a fucking jerk
So Radiohead’s the only drear that works
Grime’s a bit grim but give me Little Slims
Trying to find a way to work Frank Ocean in
I suppose he’s new soul but goes more far
Also trying squeeze in Kendrick Lamar
The saviour of hip hop
Like Bowie to glam rock
I could go on but I think I should stop
Before I offend any more than I have
But genre purists just drive me mad
