Music by Genre

Trying to classify songs by genre is almost unfair as I don't think it truly shows what the artist is about. Especially if I'm trying to fit it into one single category, because artists tend to work in more than one to keep things interesting. 

In doing so, I will probably categorically showcase my lack of musical knowledge, so please accept my apologies in advance and don't let the title of the genre fool you. Try everything!! :)
