That is one mind boggling stat with over 400 hit songs. How many records did Bing Crosby actually sell back in those days? According to http://www.canyon-news.com/artman2/publish/santamonica/Bing_Crosby_s_Heirs_Win_Landmark_Lawsuit.php, he sold 200 million records by 1960, and about the same amount...

Elvis does not even crack the top 100 here, but look who the # 1 artist is... http://www.last.fm/charts/artist For Elvis it is about 48 years since his peak ended and 33 years after his career was ended by his death . For the other act it is now 40 years since the last release. That's really saying...

In my mind After a detailed search of your posts on the site and the interaction between you and those who choose to attempt to converse with you on subjects of music and/or musicians it would be a leap of faith to expect any semblance of a true conversation. As with all self described experts who ...

There's more to the public's decisions than merely saying the most popular ones are the best ones, but either way, the pubice decides. We don't ask Burger King, McDonalds and Wendy's to decide who makes the best burgers, the public decides that. And they have voted with their wallets. They have vot...

The musicians make the songs. The public decides which ones are the best ones. Really? I thought the public decided which ones are the most popular. Is Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997" the best song ever recorded? Does McDonald's make the best hamburger? There's more to the public's...

Stuff like the US of A to me and to most 1960s listeners, was shit. It has somewhat of a cult following, but to the ears of most people, it's junk. Most 1960's listeners ? To most people, its junk ? Exactly which listeners and what people do you claim to speak for ? I speak for mainstream listeners...

So what year are you claiming to have first heard this type of music? Claiming ? Is there an echo in here? Yes, claiming. When do you claim that you first heard the song that was released in 1968 and is # one on this list? You say "early 60s." In my mind it's.... Early 60s - 1960-1962 Mid...

Nobody thought anything about this in the "early" 60s, as you say. The song was released in 1968. The "late" 60s. As you know….the release date of any song does not equate to the conceptual date of any piece of music in its beginning stages. I was a wide-eyed teenager when the f...

A few months back, Aretha Franklin cancelled all of her concerts through May 2011 and was said to be recovering from a mystery illness. The National Enquirer is reporting that The Queen of Soul is suffering from pancreatic cancer – an incurable disease with a rate of survival is a low 5-10%. Meanwh...

I just read a scientific paper by Dr. Ebbett Smith of Stanford University. It's entitled "A BRUCE GLOSSARY". When the well-meaning forum viewer intends to engage meaningfully with the posts of a poster named Bruce, they may find that upon attempting engagement equipped with the typical di...

Away from critics and musicians you get "MG" as the # 63 single of the 1960s on RYM.

I"m curious why this song is number one on this list which is a great song The American Metaphysical Circus - The United States of America? In terms of impact or influence there are many songs there were more influential than this track right. When I heard this for the first time at U.C.L.A. i...

When Time did its turn of the millenium issue, they picked "My Generation" as the only rock song to represent the entire decade of the sixties. That's the problem when journalists pick songs like this. They place far too much emphasis on lyrics and what the song is about rather than on re...
