Old musician boyfriend who plays for the SF Symphony and Ballet says he still thinks of me when he hears this.
Part II
A notable medley of seasonal favorites. Scientifically speaking, it's about a dozen planetary rotations. Strange, huh, but with 16˝ million views, it seems worth taking a look.
Ok how about a few big tunes from a few years ago:
R.E.M.: Man on the Moon
Oasis: Champagne Supernova
2Pac: Changes
Nirvana: Come As You Are
Paul Van Dyk: For an Angel
The Verve: Bitter Sweet Symphony
New Radicals: You Get What You Give!

I can't find any youtube videos from Britney Spears' new album...

Cosmic...good choices.
Interesting, however as to why certain songs by Deep Purple, Steppenwolf, etc. are more popular. Goes back to when I was in a high school band. our talents were limited (understatement) and some songs easier to play than others. The easier songs were played everywhere. Smoke on the Water, Born to be Wild, etc. All of us crappy bands across the western world were playing the same easy 20 or so songs.
Our repetoire was The two above and....Susie Q, Back in the USSR, CCRider, Wipeout, Barbarann, Get Back, etc. We practiced hours to play Johnny B Goode..ha! Sounded like a 45 on 33 speed. I can play it now but it took a while.
Anyways, I heard this theory from one of the Steppenwolf members being interviewed. He said their easy stuff was played everywhere and is now familiar to everyone whereas the bit more intricate pieces are known more by just the keeners.
who is going to dance with me?
Many of the longer songs weren't played on the radio where everyone listened . Without buying the albums many people never heard any of the longer or more intricate pieces. So perhaps about a third of the listening audience bought the albums and enjoyed the full repertoire of the artists so that left two thirds that never did. Thanks for the compliment as well. I went to many concerts and festivals in the 1960's and went to coffee houses in the 1950's.
True about albums. People are sometimes surprised that a well known song today was never in the top ten..They became popular later when they were heard on LPs but weren't played much on AM.Many of the longer songs weren't played on the radio where everyone listened .

We often play a music trivia game at a local pub...and I also notice quite a gulf between the oceans. I mostly listened to Radio Luxembourg as a teen ( as did most teens in Europe). They are surprised how I can know answers to weird obscure things ( they were common to us) but not some better known 'stuff' on the America side.
Music is so available today. Zip. Downloaded. In contrast, I recall us skipping school to hitch hike to Paris to get the latest CCR album. Getting back across the border late and putting it on my mono turntable listening to it over and over all night.

Well here there were many stores that sold records at first 45's then the 33's came along. I recall prices were very reasonable at about 2.00 per album. I remember that I could take the 45's into a booth to listen to it before I bought it, that was a good thing because some of the 45's were scratched by other customers. I do not have any 45's left and sold all my albums. Now it is the Youtube or other places like that I go to. I also remember that concerts with a few known bands were very cheap to get into, about 3.99 to 5.00 at the most to see Led Zepplin or Cream.Many of the most popular bands were from Europe. There were some American groups that were top of the line but Europe had the most.
In 1969 I rec'd a Philips cassette recorder for Christmas...that did away with buying 45s. I'd record right off AM, warts and all. To this day when I hear some songs I expect to hear the DJs voice come on before the end. Depending what country, LPs were the equivalent of about $3.50 or so. That was a Saturday's work in a vineyard.
You mention Cream. Eric Clapton's half sister was in my class in grade 11. Never heard Cream but her brother played solo a few times for us but I didn't know at the time who he was. First Live concert I heard was Alice Cooper in Zurich...and a bunch of Dutch bands in Nijmegen (Shocking Blue, etc. ). Not sure how we knew where to go. Info on concerts was sparse. No way to get a ticket except to show up and that was usually thumbing it.
