What genre of music is this?

Asked by jz1220 (829points) March 24th, 2008

I have a collection of songs that fit a certain description but I’m not sure what to call it. It’s echo-y, isolated, usually with acoustic guitar “twangs” (but not necessarily country or folk). I feel like I would listen to this while driving on an interstate at night by myself in the middle of nowhere.

These songs are from all different types of artists that, when you at their entire music portfolio, do not belong in the same genre. Here are examples of the songs I’m talking about:

No Ordinary Love – Sade
Wicked Game – Chris Isaak
Fields of Gold – Sting
Wonderwall – Ryan Adams (more echo-y than Oasis)
You’re All I Need to Get By – Method Man and Mary J. Blige
Streets of Philadelphia – Bruce Springsteen
Into Dust – Mazzy Star
Aurora – Foo Fighters
Easy to Please – Coldplay
True – Spandau Ballet
I Want You – Third Eye Blind
House of Hope – Toni Childs
