Finding a specfic musical style

I think I brought this subject up before....but it's crossed my mind again.
There has got to be a way to indicate and search for music videos of particular musical genre (or rather style). Like Ballads, Opera, Gothic, Speed Thrash, Death, Progressive, Heavy, Power, Nu-(shit), Industrial, Rock, Pop, Techno, etc.

I want to look for videos that use a particular musical style, but limited only by my knowledge of bands, that's kind of hard, and I'm sure there are others which I've never heard of but wouldn't know about. *frustrating*

I think people (like me

) would get classifications horribly wrong. It can all be rather confusing.

And then there's the tiny little issue of getting people to agree on what *should* be in what caption in the first place.

What time is it, are we due for another "what is prog" argument? Whose turn is it to start it this time?

Maybe this is dumb, but how do you download that guide? I can't find a link on the page.

Pick me, pick me!

Anyway, Rubyeye, you aren't likely to find any bands here you haven't already heard of. And at the very least, you can search for a genre under "Comments."

You know I try typing something in the "comments" but it doesn't seem to work right. Isn't it like a key word search? Videos pop up but none of their comments have the word(s) I search for.

Anyway, that's fine. I'll ask my more immediate question later. I've got to go.

Maybe music categorization could be based off a free remote CDDB such as http://www.freedb.org/
