Jazz? I always say that jazz is the american word for "jeuk" (transl:"itch").

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

That sounds about right.

I've been to Holland, Michigan, does that count?

I don't know how you can classify Bowie and Reed as "that kind of music" when they encompass many genres and have changed styles many times over the course of their careers.

What about Bowie, Lou Reed or Iggy Pop has ever been emo? And while one could ceretainly make the arguments for Iggy and Lou as punk, when the late 70s came around, Bowie was firmly ensconced in his Eno (very different from emo) phase.

Bowie especially has done a lot of different stuff over the years. I don't think anything really approaching emo or punk came into the mix, though.

As for jazz, part of me hopes this face-off thing never goes there. I can only imagine the cruel cruel choices Sharon will come up with. Miles v. Coltrane? Bird v. Diz? The Duke v. the Count? Mingus v. ... well, I don't know who anybody could put up against Mingus.

Maybe I didn't get the terms right, but...it's that annoying British angst thing I can't stand. It's the same reason I don't like Morrisey, the Smiths, etc.
