Yeah Greg, that whole "genre" thing is a real minefield just about everywhere :)

I tend to use it just as a staring point so people will know we're not into sea shanties or whatever. We've been playing together for about 12 years and never gave a thought to genre until we started posting some songs on MP3.com and they force you into specifying. Also we were lucky enough to get taken up by a publishing company and they're REALLY genre-conscious. I suppose that's because they're commercially driven and get over sensitive to these things. Ho-hum, we just play the stuff we like and hope for the best.
