but will rethink again.

I must listen to some of Martin Hayes music. I heard him talk on the Tommy Tiernan show once and I thought he was a cool guy. Hes playing a folk festival in Bantry this weekend.

He's pretty great. Enjoyed his memoir too. Do really like that l.p. a lot.

Also meant to include

The Fugs Tenderness Junction
Television Old Waldorf
Dexys Midnight Runners Too Rye Ay
Ike & Tina Turner The Kent Years
Gentle Giant Octopus

Got to about 90 in first post and still remembering essential inclusions that should have been in the top 10

Pop Group Y
Deutsche Americanische Freundschaft Die Kleinen Und Die Bosen
Miles Davis Kind Of Blue, Dark Magus
Little Richard 1st
Al Green Gets Next To You

Didn't put enough female torch singers, preschmaltz country, soul, roots, reggae and a number of other things. How arbitrary are anybody else's posted 50s.
Does anybody have a specifically 50 that is permanent and cross genre?

Oh great called Allmen Joy the Allman Joys when they're a totally different band. I think Allmen joy had a black guitarist, you see their name on several San francisco ballroom era posters but I don't think they made it into the studio.
They were covering the 13th Floor Elevators before they became very well known.
