I love playlists. I spend hours (yes "spend" not "waste") creating playlists on iTunes, Napster, or my latest toy last.fm: 1960's soul ballads, disco cover tunes, songs by people named Doug, albums that mention birds... whatever ties at least 2 tunes together gets a catchy sometimes cryptic title and becomes -- voila! -- a playlist. I may never listen to the playlist again, but that's not the point.
So working on a Rock n Roll Museum inductee playlist, and realizing there are gaps in my collection: so far, no Animals, Booker T & the MGs, Doors, or Everly Brothers...
no Woody Guthrie, no Buddy Guy...
one song from Hot Buttered "Chef"? No Herb Alpert (and his Tijuana Brass Band, of course)...
not a single Joni Mitchell? No Moonglows? Ok, I didn't really expect to have any Moonglows.
Isley Bros? Ink Spots? Robert Johnson? Brenda Lee?
