The Music Thread

[finesse]

I think I may have posted this song in the past; a song that came out almost 60 years ago. Everything old is new again.

I thought about posting this on my march to autocracy thread, but keeping it here as a reminder.

Love the song and group

I really dig this song - just so chill

Nominate a single artist whose innovative style disproportionately influenced modern music relative to their level of fame.

I'm gonna go with Eek-A-Mouse. I feel like I hear his influence in so much modern rap and hip hip. It's especially prevalent in Latin rap (in all it's manifold sub-genres)

Speaking of Latin rap...

I bought this album at the original Bailey's Jewelry store in downtown Rocky Mount in 1967

Neil Young on Farm Aid (broadcast by CNN now) and gotta say, pretty direct messaging by the old fella

Ha! I’m prescient! The WaPo just did a full article on the same subject:

Doesn’t mention Eek-A-Mouse by name, but he was ground zero for the dancehall movement.

Looking forward to seeing Ben Folds on Saturday at the Atlanta Symphony Hall. Splurged for great seats.
