Massive clean-up required[edit]

The whole category, including every single sub-category, is completely biased. Pop-artists in the "experimental artists" category, two separate categories for avant-garde techno artists, and one of these is even wrongly labeled as experimental techno.

Agreed. Somebody's going to have to find some credible authorities to cite for some definitions people can work with. Else genre-izing (??) will at least satisfy everyone's itch.
Was Ike Turner 'experimental' when he recorded with a torn speaker cone? How about (Queen) Brian May's (DIY) guitar effect? My dictionary defines 'experimental music' as 'innovative, innovatory, new, original, radical, avant-garde, cutting-edge, alternative, unorthodox, unconventional; informal way-out. Which seems to include Turner and May, and Revolution #9. Twang (talk) 03:33, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
