❓ Suggestions for a Contemporary Music Genres Collection Charles H. Smith, Ph.D.

Scope: These suggestions identify outstanding popular music works from roughly the time of the emergence of the Beatles (1964) on, keying on those acts that have made, or are making, lasting contributions to their art. The focus is on genres falling outside the mainstream of commercialism--for example contemporary folk, bluegrass, new age, electronic, World, blues and classical crossover styles.

I know it's not the typical greatest list, but coming from this Academic of the Western Kentucky University I think we need to consider he's talking about outstanding. And also good recommendations.
