Progressive Favorites
50s
would have been the progression of my all time favorite song:
1897-1910 - The Stars And Stripes Forever - Sousa's Band
1910-1920 - Casey Jones - American Quartet (Billy Murray)
1920-1928 - Swanee - Al Jolson
1928-1929 - Statesboro Blues - Blind Willie McTell
1929-1937 - Waiting For A Train - Jimmie Rodgers
1937-1939 - Organ Grinder's Swing - Mills Brothers
1939-1944 - (Hep Hep!) The Jumpin' Jive - Cab Calloway
1944-1945 - Cherry Red Blues - Cootie Williams (Eddie "Cleanhead"
Vinson)
1945-1948 - 7th Street Boogie - Ivory Joe Hunter
1948-1949 - Good Rockin' Tonight - Wynonie Harris
1949-1950 - Lovesick Blues - Hank Williams
1950-1952 - Moanin' The Blues - Hank Williams
1952-1952 - Have Mercy Baby - Dominoes
1952-1954 - Gumbo Blues - Smiley Lewis
1954-1954 - Rub A Little Boogie - Champion Jack Dupree
1954-2009 - Shake, Rattle And Roll - Joe Turner
The Jack Dupree would have only had about a week on top before the Joe
Turner took over.

because you can only look back from the perspective of someone who grew up
with electrified music.

Irrelevant. All that matters is that I can know HEAR and JUDGE for myself
what I like period. Anything else is fucking hypothetical and NOT worth the
time jilling off about.

Perhaps, but if what I grew up with means so much why are all of my
favorite records from before I was born or just after I was born?
Obviously I'm not your tyypical listener who mainly likes the music of
his teenage years.

Oh, I occasionally like something released since 1965. Occasionally. Very
occasionally. Fact is, the great majority of records SINCE 1966 or so are
CRAPOLA.

You and me both, buddy! There's little music from my teen-age years
(1979-85) that I'd take over the best '50s R&B and '60s soul.

79 to 85 was a vast wasteland, musically speaking.

LOL, this from the clown who is always praising the hits as being good
because they're what people liked. I guess what people like today is
irrelevant?
