Wow @zen-art

That's a pretty epic post with a plethora of awesome tracks and bands. I have to say we have a similar view and a similar taste in music. I never dismiss anything of any genre if I think it's any good but Rock is definitely my natural choice.

I cant argue with Bohemian Rhapsody. I have followed queen consistently through my life, since the early eighties. I regret never going to see them live when Freddie was still smashing out those dulcet tones. My other Rock bands of note that you haven't got down are: The Foo Fighters, Def Leppard, Meat Loaf and Whitesnake. Your list of tracks is spot on though.

Blues and Soul. My mums influence on me. Diana Ross and the Supremes, The Four tops etc Wonderful stuff. My dad was a blues fan and liked BB King. Marvin Gaye is the man though!

I'm with you on the Rap thing. It has its place, no doubt but it's not my thing. I do think Marshal Mathers is talented though.

Metal. Awesome pick here. I have never heard of it before but it's very good. The lead vocal sounds a bit like Bruce Dickinson which brings me on to one of my all time favourite bands. Iron Maiden.

The classical track is beautiful. My wife listens to a lot of ballet related classical music so I recognise some of that stuff. Romeo and Juliet, Nutcracker etc

I have a 15 year old daughter who is trying to keep my pop music taste relevant! Great track this one. I like Bastille and took my daughter to see them in Malaysia. I like Jack Garratt too.

Lastly! Cant go wrong with Bob!

That was fun. Thanks for posting and best of luck with the competition. I'm posting mine in a moment. 😁
