In the autumn, I’m thinking of running a music poll, Favourite Artist/Band of the 1940s/50s/60s/70s, and I would like to invite you to nominate your favourites. As many as possible will feature in the poll.
@HannahHowe David Bowie, The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Band, Big Mama Thornton, Little Richard, Jobriath, Kraftwerk, Johnny Cash, Lee Hazlewood, The Rhonettes,
Gosh, this is a big decade spread.
@colorblindcowboy Thank you.
@HannahHowe If we get more into country: Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Graham Parsons, Townes Van Zandt, Emmylou Harris, Linda Rondstadt…
And the funk side: Funkadelic, Betty Davis, James Brown, George Clinton…
Too many. Need guardrails.
@HannahHowe Oh, Jeez. There are so many:
Duke Elllington Orchestra
Fletcher Henderson Orchestra
Count Basie Orchestra
Artie Shaw Orchestra
Glenn Miller Orchestra
Tommy Dorsey Orchestra
Fats Waller groups
Louis Armstrong groups
Stan Kenton groups
Illinois Jacquet groups
so many more
....
@HannahHowe I will have to suggest - Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Reba McEntire, Alison Krauss and folk legends Peter Paul & Mary
