Talk:Modern adult contemporary

Adult Alternative
I think there that there should be a separate article for "adult alternative" but not this article. However, it should not be called "Modern adult contemporary" as this blurs the boundaries too much, and tries to make a separate genera (that if anything is a sub-genera of alternatie rock rather than of this) into part of something its not part of.

Of course, such matters of classification are unavoidably matters of oppinion, no matter who does the classifying or how you go about it. However, I think most people use the term "adult alternative" and see it as a separate genera, and this is how sites like Yahoo Music and Amazon.com organize things (though Yahoo lists it as "rock" genera while amazon lists it as a "pop" genera).

This category would include REM, and other jangle-rock and folk-alternative bands, as well as soft and more mature variation of post-grunge, etc., including older bands like 10000 Maniacs-- but not pop-stars (like Christina Agulera) or country (like Faith Hill). Some good bands to include there would be REM, 10000 Maniacs, Sarah McLachlan, and Dishwalla. --69.254.107.165 (talk) 17:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
