Having a massive list of genres was impressive at the bottom of an album. It was also becoming visual clutter. How to make it less obnoxious?

Did a little think on it and decided to make the Genres list more of a self-challenge. So I set the numbers of genres to display at five.

If it is making me crazy that a certain genres isn't on the list then I'd better start listening to some music.

Example

Looking back at last weeks music I listened to, these were the one that I could hear in my head when I read through the list:

• Strange Translucent World
• Sonny Rollins Newk’s Time
• Alternative TV The Image Has Cracked/The ATV Collection
• Mary Hopkin Post Card

At first I thought that an artist being “recall” level is too low of a criteria to make a list about. You’d think it would be something like “check out cool drum part” level or something.

Actually an album that I hear once and can survive in my head for almost a week is very impressive.

What are you listening to? Where's the list?
