Of course there are, but one needs to recognize that what goes into each one
depends on someone's arbitrary opinion. But just for fun, let's play a
little game. Genre-classify the following five artists:
Salim Halali
The Klezmatics
Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart)
Miles Davis (make sure you include the years1969-1975)
Leonard Bernstein
See what I mean?
