I had this problem when I attempted to classify my discs a few weeks ago
(don't ask). Easy enough to pick out the "rock", "jazz", "jazz-funk"
"reggae" and so on. But Beck? I just put him under "?". I don't mind that,
because that puts him at the top of the list. Nice to find artists who make
categorization irrelevant.
