Talk:List of dream pop artists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Suggest?

I like Sigur Ros, Mum, Mercury Rev...do you have any other bands to suggest? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.39.41.122 (talk) 17:44, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is this list useless?

Does this list fill any need that the Dream Pop Category doesn't fill better? Hu 05:53, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Lists serve the purpose of providing both red and blue links, allowing at least a reference to an artist before someone gets around to writing an article. --Eyrian 06:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redlinks

Usually lists of bands are supposed to be about notable ones. A few days ago I questioned having redlinked bands in the Industrial Rock list. They were removed and noone's bothered putting them back and making an article for them. Funny, that.

I think the redlinked bands should be removed or articles made for them -- a stub with a couple links is better than nothing at all -- and whoever sorts this thing should get on the ball: it says that it doesn't count "a", "an" or "the"... But what's the first band in the list?

Also I question whether some of the bands which do have links belong here. A meticulous searcher will find that quite a few of the bands don't even mention "dream pop" in their articles, let alone seem to belong to the genre. This should be either fixed or the bands removed, IMO.

Oh. And I should note that just because a given band works with a dream pop band often, it does not make the former dream pop as well. If things worked that way, very nearly every noteworthy band and musician would be very nearly every genre, and that would be just downright CONFUSING.
