- All labeling of just about any worthwhile music is inherently imperfect and
- somewhat arbitrary. "New Age" artists such as Mike Oldfield are just great
- examples of this. Contemporary Instrumental? What about the vocals? And some
- of it could easily be called Rock. Some Folk. I call music "music", and would
- love record stores to be purely alphabetized from front to back. When I'm
- discussing a particular piece or album, I can get as descriptive as I want
- without making sweeping generalizations.
