I 'borrowed' this from another site, so I hope they don't mind too much. Imitation is a form of flattery after all. The idea is that you put a favourite band or performer in each category, and add your own genre or sub-genre. Some are open to interpretation, like progressive or pop.

The next person puts their choice of band for each category, including space-rock and adds a category. As it continues there are more categories each time, but you can leave spaces if you wish.
There are more genres remaining (and sub-genres of the above) than you might think: List of popular music genres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
