So, if I HAD to stick to five:<BR/><BR/>The Essential Bruce Springsteen - nothing more American than The Boss<BR/><BR/>Will the Circle be Unbroken - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band<BR/><BR/>Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue/An American in Paris - Leonard Bernstein and the NY Philharmonic - genius, pure genius<BR/><BR/>The Very Best of Ray Charles<BR/><BR/>The Beach Boys Endless Summer<BR/><BR/>AND Five More to really complete the package:<BR/><BR/>The Very Best of Peter Paul & Mary<BR/><BR/>The Essential Glen Miller<BR/><BR/>My Way: the best of Frank Sinatra<BR/><BR/>Elvis Live from Hawaii <BR/><BR/>BB King Greatest Hits<BR/><BR/>Which still leaves out classic and progressive jazz, true bluegrass, metal (which I confess, I just don't care for), Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, The Eagles, Credence Clearwater, The Allman Brothers, disco, broadway, Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Simon & Garfunkle, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan.....HELP!!momchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660735933198986109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427726387034958552.post-14456486495916553352009-01-11T00:18:00.000-06:002009-01-11T00:18:00.000-06:00I waffled on Nirvana vs. Pear Jam.I actually like ...I waffled on Nirvana vs. Pear Jam.<BR/>I actually like Nirvana's acoustic album better than anything else they did. It kind of brings up a good question as to whether album sales/popularity are a good metric. The Ramones were never commercially popular, but were vastly influential.<BR/> *&^%! can I change mine?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712069774901800865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427726387034958552.post-31325402810425339052009-01-10T23:24:00.000-06:002009-01-10T23:24:00.000-06:00wait, also...nirvana started in the beginning of t...wait, also...nirvana started in the beginning of the 90's and for 10 years no song came close to, 'smells like teen spirit.'<BR/>-just a side noteem.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12378632418448878104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427726387034958552.post-80088184106287979322009-01-10T23:21:00.000-06:002009-01-10T23:21:00.000-06:00Nirvana= Bleach: hello, start of grunge, and, "sme...Nirvana= Bleach: hello, start of grunge, and, "smells like teen spirit," was only the number one song of the 90's<BR/>Beatles= the white album: yes, they are british, but look at what they did for American music, and from that came john lennon's song, "imagine." <BR/>Bob Dillion= the Free wheelin: Blowin in the wind...enough said,and he changed the way country music was played<BR/>Elvis= he had 16 multi-platnum albums within a 20 year period, but his first christmas album went multi-platum 9 times, and look at the phrases that came with him.<BR/>Bruce Springstien= Born in the USA<BR/><BR/>-I almost had to put 2PAC in there, but i think the first five had more of an impact.em.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12378632418448878104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427726387034958552.post-54441847507383580572009-01-10T14:11:00.000-06:002009-01-10T14:11:00.000-06:001)Miles Davis "Birth of the Cool"2)"Sgt Pepper's L...1)Miles Davis "Birth of the Cool"<BR/>2)"Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"<BR/>3)Michael Jackson's "Thriller", not b/c I like it, but it was representative of the era<BR/>4)Pearl Jam's "Ten"<BR/>5)"Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison", 'cause I felt like I needed a country album<BR/><BR/>yeah, more of it "old" than new, but it seems like most of the 'new' music I hear is still pretty heavily influenced by the '90s.<BR/>The bands trying to be different, just don't seem to be making any headway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712069774901800865noreply@blogger.com
