This is my favorite blog (although I am behind) and this was one of the BEST posts. My thoughts were the same for Bo Diddley (guess I don't know Bo). Santana was great, I have a lot of Santana on wax but haven't had a turntable for years. NINA SIMONE - I feel in love with her voice when I heard it in the movie POINT OF NO RETURN and have snatched up a few discs. I have heard this track remixed a few times and thought it was strong, but this original recording has blown me away all over again. BEATLES - Alright, people are going to think I live under a rock, but I don't think I've ever heard this track. I've got a dozen LPs and several CDs long buried in a box somewhere, and of course I've heard songs off of this record, but I don't think I've ever heard this song. I've got to get this record and listen to the whole thing (if only I could download it right now)... This is one of the few blogs I enjoy reading while listening, and I like the viarity of the posts. This one was a true gem. Amazing post. This is my favorite blog (although I am behind) and this was one of the BEST posts. My thoughts were the same for Bo Diddley (guess I don’t know Bo).

They rode the wave and packaged it into accessible works. Same phenomenon today with Radiohead.

My friends and I first heard it via the singles. Yellow and Eleanor. It was the days of AM radio. Then came the summer part: Here there and everywhere. And then the mind-blowers. An album of the decade? Yes, but try THE album of the genre: it's the best rock album of all time. It's the best rock album of every decade. About Revolver: I was 14.

I can tell it was a great time to be raised up and I sincerely envy you for that. Private Beach: I must confess I was amongst the people who underestimated Bo Diddley's music until I heard "elephant man" in a bar some weeks ago. I was mind-blowed by it and I've been doing some deep research on him now, first thing I want to do is purchase "Black Gladiator", I've downloaded the whole thing already but I want it on my collection and as you've noticed it's really hard to find a copy anywhere around here. Let me know if you find a reliable place where to buy from ;) thank you for sharing that story thagor22, I suppose the audience back then was more receptive to different kinds of music and experiences and less spoon-fed than most people is nowadays.

A quick check on Amazon shows that "Black Gladiator" has been reissued on CD, but only in Japan. It's strange that (judging from CD releases of obscure classics) so much good music is more appreciated in Japan than in America and Europe where it was created.

What I remember is the feeling of listening to music, as if it were recorded for my ears only. Of course it wasn't - all of my peers did share exactly that same feeling with me. In regard to popular music, those times have been quite unique, nevertheless. With only 12 to 20 relevant artist or bands around, but means of mass production and mass distribution of recorded music available to a hitherto unknown extent, the Beatles in 1966 could have come up with anything. Historically, the sheer enormity of the impact of "the fab four" from 1964 to 1967 was suffice for making appear any piece of their music just utterly authentic. I'm afraid, that this is not to be reproduced. History will not repeat itself. That is why a Justin Timberlake coming out of the studio with the most influential rock record of the decade under his sleeve would be mind boggling, indeed. I enjoy following your blog. Keep it up and take care all of you.
