For different styles of music you have different production needs to help bring out the distinct quality of that music. In your opinion, which genre is the most guilty of putting out sub-standard quality recordings? Some say it's country music while others claim dance music as being the worst.

What say you?

You don't have to guess: the link above will tell you, page by page. You'll find the paging buttons at the bottom-- "<< ยท >>".

Note that any DR scores below ~12 aren't very good.

Which seems to be 99% of what is on that chart. I went through 3 pages before I started to see a trend that wasn't stopping. That, and I have no idea which genre represents which artist.

I believe that you've found your answer: virtually all genres that aren't classical or certain sub-genres of jazz nowadays are suffering. See the following link for titles released in 2013 that are still relatively dynamic. Perhaps you will begin to see a trend in genres retaining good recording/mixing/mastering processes there and on succeeding pages. I'll give you a hint: most of them are at least 20 years old, regardless of genre. This is a tragedy, IMHO.
