So, I have this can fully filled with worms, and I am about to open it….
As you probably know, my lovely and talented wife is Lynn Kowal (www.curlygirl.com) She has a Rhapsody playlist filled with new music, what the kids are listening to. Modern stuff. It’s all great music. Imagine Dragons. Lorde. There’s both a Daft and a Punk involved. There’s a Muse. Pharrell and his hat. I don’t know. When she takes the kids to school, this is what they listen to.
And, I applaud. It’s all great stuff. I’m sure.
But, I’m old school. When I drive, we jam to classics. Because, I won’t get fooled again. (non-sequiter.)
Here’s where you come in. Also, coming into focus is the can containing the aforementioned worms.
What are the 200 MOST essential songs a child of the 20’teens needs to know? You, my dear blogger friends, are the most knowledgeable and physically attractive group of people I know.
For the record, I’m not looking for Cole Porter or Oscar Hammerstein. (They are more than worthy, but, let’s keep to the rock and/or roll.)
I’m up for anything from Black Flag to Elvis Costello to Lou Reed to Joni Mitchell. Also, to anyone who actually has songs on the radio.
Inundate me. Be gentle. Essential.
