Sounds like a great idea. I might have a few CD's I can part with.

Dear Flint

I applaud your choice to include of Wipeout in your collection. I do take issue with the artist you've selected for that classic. The song was done originally and best by The Surfaris. If you have a copy of that version, I suggest you add that one instead. If you don't have a copy of that version, please pm me.

On a related note, I would suggest other songs from this genre that are as good or better. Miserlou by Dick Dale and the Del-Tones. Pipeline by The Chantays. Mr. Moto by The Bel-Airs. Walk, Don't Run by the Ventures. These are all worthy.

Thanks for the suggestions. As you've correctly noted, this is a collection of songs I actually possess in my own personal collection, not a theoretical "perfect" compilation.

I definitely need to get hold of some surf guitar. Easy enough, I'll just request some on Swap a CD, and it will magically appear in my mailbox!

Any other weak points you see, please point them out. I've already found some pretty glaring holes in a 1000+ disc collection.

Didn't have any Seals & Croft, CCR, Roy Orbison, Commodores, and the list goes on...

How do you all feel about the music your parents introduced you to? Just asking, because I hate almost everything I was ever forced to listed to as a kid, especially the stuff my parnets told me was good or "a classic"...... but then maybe my parents just had crap taste and all y'all's kids are lucky.....

My parents introduced me to classical music - that's about it. Some was amazing some sucked.

Most everythign my dad introduced me to I liked, mainly because he let me form my own opinion and he helped me understand what was going on with the music. We'd listen to the Midnight Special, a radio show, and it felt like we were both discovering things at the same time. e.g. Laurie Anderson's Big Science.

Our tastes diverged at Opera, still not a big fan besides G&S.

Great. My father played guitar, my maternal grandmother played guitar, and my brother plays guitar. I play drums. We're a musical family, we have good taste. My kids love the music I play for them. I suspect, as per my theory of genetics above, that they love it because I love it.

My 78-song compliation from earlier in the thread was from August. I'm working on a sequel or possibly just a multi-disc set encompassing the earlier material and adding to it.

"Strange Fruit"... No other performer can do it justice.
I beg to differ.

Without Billie Holliday the piece might not have come down to us in the form we recognize today.
Who knows, we might not have even heard of it in these more recent times.
So we do owe a lot to her. It's an important contribution.

SM, if you like her version better that's really great... Pass it on.
