Obviously!
Wanna go another round, I only have a few million tunes I need to bring here.
How about early jazz? Ya know Jellyroll Morton, Satchmo, King Oliver etc? You can do early jazz, right?
Too bouncy for me.
80s Pop-Rock
Song always put me in a good mood
That's all that ever really matters.
Gonna add this...
For years and years I stayed away from Bluegrass Music, ya know Bill Monroe. The little I'd heard I didn't like. Then I buy a box of tapes/CD's at a yardsale. One of the CD's was Rounders Records 50 Years of Bluegrass. So it just sit in the box for a few years then one day when bored.....
I was 100% wrong, it's great! Love it. We see some amazing talent here.

Time to pay homage to the King, Elvis Presley. This sets will be some of those 1954/55 Sun Records sessions, yep, his first.
What gets me is this is some of his better stuff and most of it is pretty obscure except for die hard Elvis fans.

Elvis was great, the King but he could never compete with this.....
Now that's style, class and talent.

Dude, I've made it very clear I was in Nam in the early 70's right out of HS. Simple mistake.
What isn't a simple mistake is lying about 19.5-20.5. What really gets me about that is you really do think these people are stupid, they'd have to be to buy that OBVIOUS bull .

I really don't think people get where I'm at with music. Key word....mood. I need what fits my mood. Sometimes it must be kicker , enter....Hank Williams, Merl Haggard, Waylon Jennings, etc etc. Other times I need some cool jazz, ya know Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker etc. I have my rock and roll, funk, R&B, soul, Bluegrass, oldies, old blues, reggae, hillbillie not to be confused with country. So I own a ton of stuff for the moods. The 40's are cool, ya know The Ink Spots, Al Jolson, Frank Sinatra, The Mills Bros.
The thing I notice with those into rap/hip hop is the lack of depth. That's all they listen to, that's all they know and that's sad. I own some rap, hip hop, it's ok, but noway I could get stuck on just rap/hip hop. I need some variety so I have it.
How about this battle..
Ry Cooder vs Leon Redbone
Kelly Joe Phelps vs Ray Lamontagne
