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:
- John Coltrane - Blue Train
- Chubby Checker - Let's Twist Again
- MFSB - TSOP (Soul Train theme)
- Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - If You Don't Know Me By Now
- William Devaughn - Be Thankful For What You've Got
- The O'jays - Love Train
- Todd Rundgren - Hello, It's Me
- The Three Degrees - When Will I See You Again
- Hall & Oates - She's Gone
- Elton John - Philadelphia Freedom
- Labelle - Lady Marmalade
- The Hooters - And We Danced
- USA for Africa - We Are The World (from Live Aid)
- Meek Mill - Dreams & Nightmares
- Dr. Dog - The Truth
- The Roots feat. Erykah Badu - You Got Me
- The War on Drugs - Under The Pressure
Cheers,
Spencer

Yeah Spencer, Greg Shaw (Bomp Magazine and Records, manager of The Flamin' Groovies, U.S.A. Garage Band expert and collector---over 100,000 GB 45's!) called San Jose Ground Zero for the Garage Band scene. I was at The Watchband's first show, saw The Trolls (Stained Glass' original name, when they were a quartet), The Syndicate, and People, all before seeing The Beatles at The Cow Palace in S. San Francisco in the summer of '65---Eric. |
I'll see your Philidelphia and raise you ONE for |
heartbreak, @fuzztone I thought you made us a playlist of your post above. Yeah, Philly had plenty of cheese-whizzy jingles too. 😆 |
