if an alien was beamed down to earth and wanted you to explain to them this thing they call 'rock music', which one album from each of the following genres would you play to them ?
Classic Rock: Punk: Alternative/indie: Noise: Metal: New Wave: Not your favourite album from these genres, but the one you think best defines them. |

Well, in my opinion I havn't (and no one can have on this board) heard enough albums to authoratively claim this, so the best we can do is make an educated guess...
Classic Rock: Led Zeppelin I Alternative/Indie: Daydream Nation Noise: Merzbow, 1930 New Wave: Echo & The Bunnymen, Ocean Rain |

Classic Rock: Led Zeppelin IV
Punk: The Saints - (I'm) Stranded Alternative/indie: Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation Noise: The Gordons - 1st Album Metal: Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden New Wave: Maybe Television's Marquee Moon? I don't know if that's really New Wave though. I agree with This Is Not Here's statement about none of us being able to give the definitive answer, and this thread has reminded me of how little I know about music.
