    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?
