Screamo?!...is that anything like emo or extremo? Though I haven't had the "pleasure" of hearing any of these new variants of "rock" that seem to pop up on an almost weekly basis, something tells me -- judging by the names alone -- that I'm really not missing out on a whole helluva lot.

I voted for classic rock though I wish you'd included blues-rock as an option (I'm aware however that you can't list every genre). Led Zeppelin, Foghat, Humble Pie, Rory Gallagher, Savoy Brown, John Mayall, Cream (along with Clapton's other bands -- Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes, the Yardbirds), the Allman Brothers, Johnny Winter, Ten Years After, George Thorogood, ZZ Top, Elvin Bishop, and yes, even the Stones in their earlier days, all fit more comfortably into the blues-rock category than they do into the more generic classic rock. Back in the late '60s and the first half of the '70s, that's were those guys were classified as: blues-rockers. After #!%*! disco claim along and ruined it for everybody and blues-rock had pretty much run its course, these people eventually came to fall into the more-encompassing classic rock category.

Ahh...those were the days...
