Yes, in addition to cited Gut Bucket Blues and Lonesome Blues for those ASR readers interested here's a larger L. Armstrong blues playlist: Potato Head B., Ole Miss B., Wolverine B., Wild Man B., West End B., Keyhole B., Dallas B., Back O'Town B., Yellow Dog B., Basin Street B., Dipper Mouth B., Down in Honky Tonk B. and S.O.L. Blues.

King Oliver was older than Armstrong and brought him along into fame. Here's a large playlist of surviving King Oliver Band(s) blues recordings: Workin' Man B., London Cafe B., Room Rent B., Stingaree B., Freakish Light B., Poor Boy B., Aunt Hagar's B., Sobbin' B., Krooked B., Black Snake B., Farewell B., Camp Meeting B., Canal Street B., New Wang Wang B., Speakeasy B. , Mandy Lee B., Riverside B., Chimes B., and Jazzin' Babies' Blues.

For orientation just how far back blues' place in jazz extends look to New Orleans pianist "Jelly Roll" Morton (pictured below) who himself claimed to have been the first to write out jazz songs. His surviving recordings include: Dead Man B., Tom Cat B., Snake House B., Muddy Water B., Mamies B., Windy City B., Buddy Bolden's B., Michigan Water B., Thirty-Fifth Street B., London B., Bucktown B., Wolverine B., Winnin' Boy B., Canon Ball B., Blue Blood B., Original Jelly-Roll B. Sidewalk B., and Blues for Jimmy.

I like listening to many styles of music, my vote for "other" is for experimental music that doesn't fit into other genres.

The music I'm least likely to listen to would be metal and pickup truck country
 
My 'Other' = African/Island

I like 'Blues' as much as I dislike 'Jazz' = Null vote
If 'Blues' was part of Lo-Fi', I would have voted for it.

'Rock' is the proverbial kitchen sink and I hope it's Alt/Punk/Indie inclusive.

@DanielT, Thank you for the post.:)

Oh man, pickup truck country... Where I'm at here in North Dakota, I feel like my ears are assaulted whenever I step outside. Especially a couple of days ago at a pretty large 4th of July bbq.

That's why I value a well sound proofed car and my own music without advertising so much. Not even this particular genre, but boy there is a lot of background noise.
 
I've been listening to a lot of K-Pop recently. I've just found it to be more uplifting and happy, for lack of a better reason. Artists like Black Pink, Jisoo, Katseye, etc. I'm old but bored of a lot of the music I've listened to in the past.

That reminds me I have a style of music I won't listen to, the anything smeared in auto tune style, urgh, it's awful, makes me feel like I'm having a real allergic reaction. I'm am perfectly fine with people who cannot sing, just don't try and fix them.

It's a crap style. Mostly for the reasons you mention. I think the lyrics are youthfully ridiculous. The young people know that the older people think music is crap, which they probably wear as a badge of honor when they listen. Fun to tease the older people, that is.

I don't know if there's much new under the sun. What did the older people think when the young people started listening to punk in the 1970s? Rock and roll in the 1950s?

My friend tried to create an EPA dunk song. Or rather, AI created the song. He ran some AI programs and through a few iterations (that was his creative contribution). Not his voice in the song. He's moderately musically literate. He can play a little guitar. In any case, it was that easy to create such an EPA dunk song, which sounds pretty much like all other such songs I think: :oops:
With Christmas lyrics. ;):)

Yes, it is. I stupidly had to listen to it, though. So that I can verify what you wrote. It's true.

He he. :)

I missed one thing. He was heavily inspired by this song:

"Hej tomtegubbar" ("Hey, tomte-men") is a Swedish drinking song, also used as a children's round dance at Christmastime.

Hej tomtegubbar - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

It doesn't really matter in itself. I took his AI-created song mostly to show as an example.

It sounds like young people music to me, so mission accomplished. :)

Can't understand the lyrics but that's par for the course these days. I can't understand them even when they're in English.

We're having a heatwave here at the moment, clear blue skies, so there's no clouds for me to shout at.
