MP3 catalogue genre question - should reggae and dancehall be separate?

Poll question: MP3 catalogue genre question - should reggae and dancehall be separate?

Should I split folks like Sizzla, Capleton and Buju from he roots folks like Bob, the Gladiators and the Congos?

Where would Luciano fall if I did?

1. I think you care entirely too much about genres.

Where would you file Mongo Santamaria? "Latin?" "Jazz?" "Latin Jazz?"

Just cool out and dig the vibrations.

5. It matters when you select a genre and hit shuffle for a party

you have mmellow roots rasta stuff and then Capleton screaming and ranting (which is great but buzzkilling)

6. Oh, for DRUG parties.

Why don't you just play your Widespread Panic boots, hippy?

2. I think you should split 'em...

but that's just me, I'm russian, what the hell do i know :)

(but seriously, I do enjoy any kind reggae very much)

3. Should he separate TATU from Gorky Park in his collection?

Just trying to give you something you can help with. :)

8. hehe, but no, keep TATU together, they're more fun that way!

4. there's so much argument about who belongs where

it's ridiculous. You can't get a definitive answer. Might as well group them together like the music stores, it's easier--they probably know what they're doing. You'll know which is which.

Some folks just can't live like that though. They have to have the "little fiddly bits" Do what makes ya feel good, and enjoy the music!

7. depends on how anal you are

I would split them. Dance hall precedes reggae in the scheme of things.
