Transitional Genre Rock
If a band sounds "a bit like" enough other profile bands all mixed up together and remains of undefinable genre, and the musicianship of the band becomes good enough at playing what they can, that without being able to achieve any real genre may enter a state of Transitional Genre Rock. A hitherto undefined genre that sits amongst the various strands of the rock continuum much like a spiderweb, waiting to entrap any unwary explorers outside the rigidity of bland conformity.
As Doctor Rock has only ever played live realy, very little of his work exists in any recorded media, the following have been discovered over the years and meticulously thrown into a box of old tapes only recently sorted through.
