Oh Man! I know this thread could have survived for the last 35 years... About the same time a lid went from $10 to $15 ("it's from Columbia, not Mexico" was the usual response)... concert ticket prices soon followed... ::

You should have Easy Rider (1969) in the poll also. ::

Here's a good audio box set (4 cd) overview of Motown... and some analysis... allmusic.com/motownsingles

Sinatra - Summer Wind off the... album also the Beach Boys - Fun Fun Fun Nelson Riddle Orchestra - TV theme - Route 66 George Thorogood - Who Do You Love

My screen name obviously comes from BB(blues boy)King, one of the greats of the modern blues era (especially his '50s tracks)... I just love '50s and 60's blues and R&B... :guitar: Edit time... why not expand it to 10 or 12 hours (for a trial period, say 10 days) and see how it goes...

That's a great site...

I grew up in jr high and high school orchestra during the mid - late '60's. All we played were musicals and popular songs from the '50s and '60s. I remember... West Side Story South Pacific My Fair Lady Sound of Music Cabaret Oklahoma Kismet Annie Get You Gun Showboat among others... what a golden age for musicals

how about Madonna or the Spice Girls

Looks like 1971... allmusic.com/tapestry

I've always enjoyed McCartney's first 2 solo albums: McCartney '70 and Ram '71

As said previously, don't forget the live shows cd that came out last year How the West was Won 3 cds of 2 shows from Los Angeles and Long Beach '72 Zep at their peak... If you want to explore more live shows this book will help

Lead guitarist - Hendrix Rhythm guitarist - Stevie Ray Vaughan Acoustic guitarist - Al DiMeola Bassist - John Entwhistle or Jack Casady ( Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna ) Percussionist - Lenny White Keyboards - Keith Emerson Lead Vocals - Otis Redding Horn section - the Memphis Horns

I also have about 2800 songs, about 2000 from kazaa and the rest from my cd library. But everything is predominantly pre 1980, mostly 50's and 60's. Cindy, I too had a symbolic first download on the old Napster. Years and years of looking for a song from 2 out of print albums (4 Deuces - W.P.L.J. ) took 10 seconds to download. After that I was hooked. Way back when, upgrading from cassettes, my symbolic first buy cd was Electric Ladyland / Hendrix.

how about Beatles Elvis Bee Gees but i guess Michael Jackson has to be in there too.

How about a band already built. Chick Corea - keyboards Al DiMeola - guitar Stanley Clarke - bass Lenny White - drums A true jazz fusion super group, put out a couple of albums ('75-'76), then all went on to successful solo careers.

All the bands at: the amg site... allmusic.com/houseoftherisingsun

boy, your right... the tempo the same, the intro's are very similar, we should ask Bobo if they're in the same key... way to go sherlock...

You Never Give Me Your Money seems like a 4 minute miniature Mozart Symphony

From the 1950's There's No Tomorrow - Tony Martin and On the Street Where You Live - Vic Damone plus the intro's are almost exactly the same, note for note

In a nutshell, blues mostly features simple 3-chord progressions. It grew out of African spirituals and worksongs of the Southern U.S. Blues is the forefather of Jazz. Jazz is like a son or nephew of the blues. Both originated here in the U.S.

Some of those album/cd covers...

Not Fade Away original Buddy Holly '57 a step further... Rolling Stones '64
