Proto-Punk is a term used to describe bands that had a sort-of punk sound to them but they themselves predated the punk movement and often had a different attitude towards society than punks.

Examples below:










And Yes I know Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple are mainly known for there Heavy Metal, Hard Rock and Blues Rock. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404538/3456405.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404538/3456405.page GMT Re:Best Rock Genre!

I think there are too many genres me, as if everyone in the world is a pretentious hipster that reads the NME and gak.

I mean, almost all of those "genres" are just made up. Stoner rock? Comedy rock?!

For example I like Dick Dale/surf music guitar, stuff like the kill bill theme, the james bond theme, etc.

I like the drone/tone of Kevin Shields (also see Chapter House, Ride, et. al)

I love pretty much everything Robin Guthrie did with Cocteau Twins

Anything by Chameleons UK

I like Robert Smith's melodic style

I love Davil Gilmour's tone and solos

I love Johnyy Cash's Guitarist

I love slide guitar in general

I Love the rough slopiness of J Masic

I love the feedback and tone of the Tool huitar sound

I love listening to old time blues guys on a rickety acoustic (love that lo fi sound and rawness)

I love Peter Hook's melodic bass runs and hooks

I love the controlled chaos of Sonic Youth's guitars

I love the riffage of Jack White, Jimmy Page, AC/DC, etc.


I'm all over the map when it comes to guitar sounds, and tecnical skill take a back seat to what sounds ""right/interesting in a given song,imho etc.

It's one of the most common things everybody will say in any discussion. "Oh, I like all kinds of music."

Musical genres exist because of a deep seated human need to categorize. I wonder where the visceral rejection of those genres comes from?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404538/3461164.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404538/3461164.page GMT Best Rock Genre!

In my experience, "except...rap." or "except...country." will generally be attached to that.

And I say this as someone that likes all kinds of music...except country.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404538/3461187.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404538/3461187.page GMT Best Rock Genre!

i don't like country music as a whole, but I love country guitar style, especially older Nashville style guitar tone/technique

In fact I tend to be a fan of specific guitar sounds/players in various genres more then being a fan of all the various music I listed. that is different then saying "I like all music'.

All the 'genres' are subjective. I would put Muse in the 'Pop rock' bracket. Someone else would out Muse in the 'Alternative rock' bracket.

There is no point - at all - in trying to create definitive genres for music; it'll just be hi-jacked by hipsters.

Instead just put anything you do like in the 'Good' genre, and anything you don't like in the 'Bad' genre ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404538/3462038.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404538/3462038.page GMT Best Rock Genre!

Oh, of course! They most definitely do use it - it's just that from an academic standpoint, 'proto' is an unhelpful term when discussing genre, as it almost implies intentionality. A teleological perspective on the development of genres leads to slightly skewed view of their place in the historical context, and emphasises the importance of certain genres over others. I mean, The Stooges weren't sitting around trying to start punk - they weren't actively working towards it, y'know? It's an ideologically loaded word, is all. Just a bugbear of mine.

Yeah, I totally agree bands and songs like The Stooges, Led Zeppelin's Communication Breakdown, Death (the 70's band Proto-Punk Band not 80's/90's Progressive Death Metal band), etc weren't trying to

create punk it's more just coincidental that they had a sort of punk sound to one or several of there songs. Plus the prefix "Proto-" means first, when in reality a more accurate term would be "Pre-Punk" as

the prefix "Pre-" is used to describe something that takes before (in time, place, order, degree, or importance). Even Wikipedia states that Proto-Punk wasn't the cause of the actual punk genre.
