The order of the genres[edit]

There is no reason to put the less popular British music genres at the top. We have to present the music genres of each decade according to their popularity worldwide (In the same way we have done here for example). It makes absolutely no sense to put the more obscure genres at the top (For example - Sabrebd put the "2 Tone and Reggae" section at the top of the Music of the United Kingdom (1980s) article. Please explain to us why we should order it differently. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 17:45, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than reply five times I have put one answer here.--SabreBD (talk) 00:58, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The order of the genres[edit]

Please explain why the Rock section shouldn't be in the top. Your opinion on this regarding the newer decades was never explained. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 16:39, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you wanted the most popular genres at the top?--SabreBD (talk) 17:06, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

During the 1990s the worldwide popularity of British Britpop and Post-Britpop (as in Suede, Blur, The Verve, Radiohead, Travis, Stereophonics, Oasis, Pulp and Supergrass) was much higher than Post-Bhangra (as in Apache Indian, Nitin Sawhney, Talvin Singh), Folk resurgence (as in Kate Rusby, Nancy Kerr, Kathryn Tickell, Spiers and Boden and Seth Lakeman), British Hip hop (as in Stereo MCs) and British Soul music (As in Soul II Soul, Mica Paris and Caron Wheeler).

Is Folk resurgence considered Folk Rock ?[edit]

If so it should be in the Rock section. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 13:56, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No its just folk. A lot of it is very traditional.--SabreBD (talk) 16:10, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
