Describe a perfect genre song

Country music.

Must contain pedal steel, heartache and a long song title that tells you half the story. If there's alcohol involved, so much the better.

Perfect example: Merle Haggard - 'Tonight the bottle let me down'

(Old School?) Salsa: Somewhat understated beginning, though not necessarily sacharine (a la the more extreme end of salsa romantica). Nice groove set up, with an audible conga slap. Chorus comes in and the music becomes more intense. Maybe the cow-bells kick in, or the timbales come a little more into the foreground. Another chorus, maybe a bit different from the first. Something a bit staccato. Further increase in the intensity. One more chorus, and if it's possible for the energy to increase, the song draws you in even a bit further before the climax.

Happy Hardcore.
We start with a prehistoric breakbeat, archetypal in its predictability. Snippets of speeded up hip hop samples start exhorting speed, motion and metaphorical violence. Then a kickdrum so hard and sharp smashes in with such force that the only dance possible is a stiff-legged jumping up and down. Suddenly everything stops and a melody so sickly that it provokes nausea in adults and leaves an indelible stamp on the minds of children sounds out leaving everyone with the impression that they have just eaten 12 sticks of Brighton Rock and are experiencing the commensurate sugar rush. Then the track builds and builds using the elements previously described until it's time for a woman who sounds like the mutant offspring of Dolly Parton, Whitney Houston and Sue Wilkinson to begin singing about love, peace, harmony, unity, ecstasy, dancing and maybe a bit more love. For everyone.

By the time it's ended everyone in the room looks like The Joker. Permanently.

Krautrock.

The track is recorded in an pitch-black, airless room a mile below Berlin. All the musicians are naked and daubed in coal-dust, and the singer has just been sprung from a mental hospital. There is no electricity - all recording equipment is powered by "vibes" alone. The floor is littered with unidentifiable percussive instruments. I've just drunk a mug of liquid acid. Let's jam.

Jason , that's quality.

Thats sounds more like industrial than Krautrock.

James, there's a song by David Allen Coe called 'She Never Even Called Me By My Name' which has what he claims is the perfect C&W verse in it:

I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
And by the time I got to the station in my pick-up truck
She got run over by a damned old train
