The problem is, I can come up with maybe 300 genres, 50 of which are interesting to you (throw the rest out), while 50 others are interesting to someone else (why are my Italodisco, Electronic: Terror and Operetta thrown out).

A complete list is currently, with the current structure unrealistic. It is not reluctance. And styles have actually been added on request in the past.

Pop and Rock, as you read it is Pop XAND Rock (Pop and Rock, not 1 of the 2), while here we mean Pop AND Rock (Pop and / or Rock).

I would have liked a separate genre for Zappa only, Zappian for example, but that is not realistic either, Zappa cannot be compared with anything. See often on Spotify, this is comparable to Zappa, well eg nie

If you want your Zappian Morits then you still get your Zappian, maybe you have discovered a new Genre in it. LOL

Plus that with a performance by another artist you probably also have to indicate a different genre. It is and remains a sensitive emotional issue, on which it is not really possible to get a consensus. I think everyone can live with the current classification to a greater or lesser extent. Multiple genres can be linked to a song.

(why have my Italodisco, Electronic: Terror and Operetta been thrown out).

Italodisco is still there, just not in combination with 'normal' Disco anymore.
Operetta is in Classical: Operetta ;-)

I plan to make a proposal for a new layout soon. Already got it in my head, but I still have to work it out. And I have so many other things to do ...

Ask the administrators.
Can the Genre Glam Rock be added, especially in the 70's there were a lot of Bands and Artists serving this Genre.
I think the number of Songs that belong to Glam Rock being released is a lot, and there are also a lot of them in LD.
What do you think about this?
Greetings John.

As far as I'm concerned it could be. There are indeed plenty of bands that are guilty of this ;-)

Dear Frans.
I came across this because I am changing the RCA Victor Label, and then of course they end up at The Sweet.
Good memories, 70 years, working during the day and in the evenings to the disco, music from The Sweet, Slade, T Rex and the like.
As they say here in Germany, that's what the Post ab went.
And now, play them at a party, everyone can sing along.
Greet John.

Gary Glitter, pure Glam Rock.
But actually you can't take his name in your mouth anymore, has been in jail since 2015, and that's a good thing too.

Sometimes I think so. When I think of Slade, T-Rex and The Sweet, I can hear it. For many it is of course the appearance: the high soles and the enormous dressing up.

It is strange to me that you are not allowed to have or play the records of people who have urinated next to the pot. It's about the music whether it's Michael Jackson or Gary Glitter.

Certainly you can have them, and they can also play, yes they stay good.
Anything new about Glam Rock, already added to Genres?
I'll wait a little longer before I continue with The Sweet , and other Glam Rock Bands.

I wanted to say that when it's all about looks and not the music itself, you can't really call it a musicgenre.

It was indeed for a large part a show, but musically there were also some special characteristics: mostly simple, catchy tunes at tempo. I did some googling and there are some articles on WikiPedia about Glamrock or also called Glitterrock.

Response: Everything can be added by me, but preferably in a logical way. For example:

Pop and Rock: Glam rock / Glitter rock

Sorry John, I'm not that excited. I've always found a difficult type of music. Alternative musicians such as Bowie, T-Rex and Roxy Music were included, but also mainstream top 30 groups such as Mud and The Sweet.
The last two were musically a kind of revival of 50s rock & roll (as with Long Tall Ernie). Gary Glitter also looked a bit like Elvis in the distance.
And then there was a group like Slade, who actually made really good music (sometimes 2 rhythms mixed up), but was not taken seriously.
In the US you also had glitter rock, but that was more alternative, like Lou Reed and The New York Dolls.

To me it's all rock or alternative rock. There are too few other common features.

Addition:
A while ago Jilles rightly remarked that the genre division is linked to the songs and not to the groups. Then I wonder where the limit is. Until what year can you classify the music of David Bowie and Lou Reed as glam rock? When they run out of lipstick?

Dear Rob.
I think when we talk about Genres, we naturally talk about Songs.
That one automatically ends up with the Artists and Bands is also certain, they now have once those Songs have been played or sung.
Genres is and remains a difficult theme, especially if you have a Greatest Hits album of an Artist or Band, there can be various Genres, and also sung in different languages, there can be on a record are mixed up a lot, and I'm not even talking about records with Various Artists.
To your question where there is a boundary from one Genre to another Genre, I don't know either, I just know that there are are different Genres.
And I think that includes Glam Rock / Glitter Rock, just like Krautrock and Neue Deutsche Welle.
Just search the Internet for those names, and you'll find the Genres like that out.
Greetings John.

The debate is not whether the term exists. What matters is whether such a term is musically distinctive and/or meaningful. And the term should also be clear to the user (and administrators).

I'm done with it now. I don't think it makes sense. Apart from the unclear definition, it will only be possible to use it for a limited number of songs. Songs by The Sweet, Mud, Slade, Gary Glitter, Alice Cooper, The New York Dolls and maybe T Rex.
To give songs by David Bowie and Lou Reed that term seems unnecessary.

Anyone have a suggestion where I can best accommodate non-Dutch comedy (Novelty).

I hope that if there is another review of the genres included here, it will link up with what is already common on sites such as Discogs and Allmusic. Why reinvent the wheel here or deviate from what is already common practice on other sites.

A long time ago I myself asked for a Comedy section, in which I mainly had Spoken word records in mind.
I find Novelty less suitable to mention as a category, because it is not necessarily about comedy. And if it is a comic novelty, it is often a parody of another record, which can already be classified in a different genre.

In my view, a comedy section should certainly be included in a revision of the classification. Unfortunately we are still not there yet.
