Blues as a genre is also characterized by its lyrics, bass lines, and instrumentation. Early traditional blues verses consisted of a single line repeated four times. It was only in the first decades of the 20th century that the most common current structure became standard: the AAB pattern, consisting of a line sung over the four first bars, its repetition over the next four, and then a longer concluding line over the last bars. Early blues frequently took the form of a loose narrative, often relating the racial discrimination and other challenges experienced by African-Americans.

One could argue that most of this league contains some form of blues. With an impact so wide, it's tough to truly define one team as "blues."

Many elements, such as the call-and-response format and the use of blue notes, can be traced back to the music of Africa. The origins of the blues are also closely related to the religious music of the Afro-American community, the spirituals. The first appearance of the blues is often dated to after the ending of slavery and, later, the development of juke joints. It is associated with the newly acquired freedom of the former slaves. Chroniclers began to report about blues music at the dawn of the 20th century. The first publication of blues sheet music was in 1908. Blues has since evolved from unaccompanied vocal music and oral traditions of slaves into a wide variety of styles and subgenres. Blues subgenres include country blues, such as Delta blues and Piedmont blues, as well as urban blues styles such as Chicago blues and West Coast blues. World War II marked the transition from acoustic to electric blues and the progressive opening of blues music to a wider audience, especially white listeners. In the 1960s and 1970s, a hybrid form called blues rock developed, which blended blues styles with rock music.

Ah, the blues. A genre so well-engrained into the whole of music that every other genre can be easily interpreted as an offshoot of it. One could argue that most of this league contains some form of blues. With an impact so wide, it's tough to truly define one team as "blues." Ever since the fateful day Robert Johnson went down to the crossroads and sold his soul to the devil, we've been hearing some form of the blues. The Mississippi Delta was changed forever, and a legend was born. Soon, there were handfuls upon handfuls of folks out there with guitars to play and songs to sing. ...We're gonna cut this essay-like portion of this summary short to get into more pressing matters.

Now, you'll notice some of the players on this team aren't exactly most known for blues. Admittedly, this is a bit of a compromise, but these choices can still be legitimately justified. Remember, everything is the blues in some way. Having Eric Clapton on a team about the blues genre makes some sense. Most of you probably didn't know Long John Baldry was a blues artist, which is a damn shame. And the rest of the roster will likely be met with "...Who?" (Honestly, I can't blame you for not knowing some of these people.) Don't recognize an artist? Give 'em a listen. Who knows, you might find you like the sound.

...and, after all, who doesn't know the blues?
