The older I get, the more I feel capable of determining which music will be deemed timeless and ‘classic’ and which can be dismissed as trendy or short-lived. Either that, or I’m so old I can’t see past the music of my own youth.
The music from 1969 makes me wonder which of these options is the right one, because I seem to like so much music from this era. I’m not some ageing hippie, pining for the ‘good old days’, but I feel that there is an undeniable quality to much of the music created during this era, a quality that makes itself just as apparent to subsequent generations as it had been to mine.
To varying degrees, each of the albums featured today can be considered classic; if an album has remained available forty years after its initial release, what else can you call it?
Here’s a list of songs and albums featured in today’s show;
1) You Don’t Have to Cry – Crosby. Stills & Nash (from ‘Crosby, Stills & Nash”)
2) Wooden Ships - “
3) Helplessly Hoping - “
4) St. Stephen – The Grateful Dead (from “Aoxomoxoa”)
5) China Cat Sunflower - “
6) Here Comes the Meter Man – The Meters (from ‘The Meters’)
7) Sophisticated Cissy “
8) Long Black Limousine - Elvis Presley (from ‘From Elvis in Memphis’)
9) Wearin’ That Loved On Look - "
