Holiday Music Challenge
Home for the holidays...music for the memories. So here's a little game to occupy the mind today or at least give the relatives something besides politics to debate:
Make a playlist that's sums up the musical history and pride of your home town. A time capsule for future listeners to uncover that will let them hear the evolution of the sound of your town.
Here's mine for Philadelphia:
Cheers,

@tony1954 Nice work! Plenty of great pipes on your list. Sarah at Radio City in NYC is one of my all time fav shows, back before she got huge with Lilith Fair. Crazy on You - one the most memorable guitar hooks ever! Thanks for indulging us. Cheers, Spencer |
@dabel Don't forget Iggy, MC5, Mitch Ryder, and not my personal fav, but gotta give props to Bob Seger...And of course White Stripes / Jack White. A rockin' town for sure! Cheers, Spencer |
All of EWF & Chicago. The latter even had Bay Area alum Bill Champlain as a member for 28 years. The Rolling Stones at Chess (The Rolling Stones, Now!) Willie Dixon's main gig. (I just sold the reel to reel tape for $90) Pro Musica at Medina Temple Howard Levy Chicago on Come Fly With Me by Sir Francis

@fuzztone Ahh, the windy city! Surprised you didn't add Muddy or Wilco. Another Chicago standout...Liz Phair. Great city for live music, I try to catch some every time I visit. Cheers, Spencer |
