Yes, query is definitely working without COUNT(*). Even in the most stripped down form, the query fails:
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(bandid), genre FROM bands, genre"; $result=mysql_query($sql); while ($gen=mysql_fetch_row($result)) { echo $gen[1]; }
Fails how? If it echos zero, it's not failing; your query just isn't returning any rows (regardless whether you think it should or not).
