Why are so many people so eager to refer to their own musical tastes "generic"? It's like the musical community punishes itself for liking music.
On another note, I added David Bowie, Elvis and switched Mötley Crüe for Skid Row.

Opius? And you seriously are implying that I haven't already listened to almost everything produced by The Dust Brothers?

This is basically an off-shoot/snowclone of this other thread here
. Who would you list as your single favorite representation from as many scenes/movements as you can think of? You don't have to go deep into any sub-sub-sub-genres either: your favorite can represent an entire blanket of diverse music.
P.S: If one of your favorite bands couldn't be included because their sound combines too many other sounds at once or shifts to a different sound constantly, that's fine. This kept me from including Queen (and it was a massive issue for FNM and Bowie).
