What's on your iPod?

I was fortunate enough to see them in concert back in the early 60's and enjoyed hearing them as well. Very tight folk group just like the other folk singers from that era.

Boll Weevil Song Brook Benton

Do you have any music from the current century??? Or even some Grunge or New Wave???

When this thread was created, I envisioned the members turning each other onto music that they might not be aware of--increasing our awareness of the fantastic explosion of popular music in recent decades.

Instead, it's become little more than the "Nostalgia Channel." Some of these songs go back to my youth in the 1950s. Brook Benton's tunes were played at my high school dances! Is there anyone here who hasn't already heard them???

For that matter, there has been considerable evolution in pop music since that time. Many of these songs sound as primitive today as most of the formulaic symphonies composed before the Romantic Era that began in the mid-19th century. I simply get bored with them and would rather hear Adele or the Foo Fighters... as I would rather hear Vaughan Williams or Richard Strauss.

I'm a bit disappointed. :(

I'm certainly not suggesting that you put your old records away, but for the goddess's sake, is that all you've got?
 
"Is there anyone here who hasn't already heard them???"

I doubt that most tenagers ever heard of some of my postings but many of my posts are of the acid/classic rock like Zepplin and the Who for a couple of examples. As I have said before I don't hear to much today that gets me excited as the older rockers do but I have posted Florence and the Machine a few times. I do post groups that I hear and enjoy however they are few and far between. As they say to each their own and I never complain about other music posted here and probably never will.
 
Memory Pain by Johnny Winter. From the same disc as above...Serve me right. I'm hearing Hendrix here. The Best Of Johnny Winter really shows his influences. It's all the blues...but, there is only one Johnny Winter...same for Jimmy Page and really Keith Richards - just blues players who broke new ground. I recommend this disc to any musician, "hustled down in Texas"...whoa. I'm just like...take me to the swamp.
 
Captain Jack...By Billy Joel. Excellent lyrics. I think everyone can relate to this, to some extent or another.
