Then the music died...

Tough to do that when everyone is dead.

I did see Soundgarden live shortly before Chris Cornell killed himself.

Speaking of which, it's a miracle Kurt Cobain lived as long as he did. That man had many, many issues.

Big Band is a subset of Jazz.  Lawrence Welk is a subset of Big Band.
Baroque is a subset of Classical.
The blues are the blues.

Pearl Jam's not dead.

Although everything after Vitalogy sucked, hard. And even Vitalogy is half questionable.

Some might say Rock is just alternative Blues. 

I mean, I'm not saying that... Jus' sayin'.

One of the few.

Agreed on the music for sure. I stopped buying after No Code.

I wouldn't argue if someone wanted to say that.

You could also say Rock is Alternative Country.

Folks (like me) usually divide what folks call "classical" music into those three periods (and then include 20th century, most of which is garbage to me, but not all).

I'd say Baroque is about as different from Classical as blues is from jazz.

It's a bit misleading because there is a period called Classical, and then the entire genre is referred to as "classical."

And there are actually more distinctions-- there's Medieval and Renaissance before the Baroque period, all of which fall under the general umbrella of what people refer to as "classical music."

Yep. And many actually do argue that rock itself is Blues/Country fusion.

Oh I don't think that's an argument.  I'd say that's HISTORY.

There was a popular class at UT back in the 80s and 90s called "The History of Rock and Roll."  All the athletes took it.  I of course did not, because I was an engineer and we never got to take ANY fun classes.
