#YearPlaylist 1986 Part 1

It's been awhile, and this is probably not the one to come back with. 🤷 #Year1986 will be in three parts and as with nearby years it's mostly a mix of old school hip hop and garagepunk/indie.

That's not always the best combo, but for good or ill I'm sticking to my alphabetical format of songs from this year that I played on my old internet radio show.

#YearPlaylist: 1966 Part 2

- the peak year of garage rock -

I Hate You

I Need You

I Want You

I'm Gone

Only 4 out of 17 primeval garagepunk emotions in this set

But there's some sweet pop and soul relifef along the way from the Shangri-Las, Monkees, Shirelles, Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett, and Betty James

#YearPlaylist: 1948

It's a short one for a change, but sometimes those are the best.

Might as well call it CBGB because it's nothing but country, bluegrass, and various shades of blues.

#YearPlaylist: 1932-1935

I feel like a failure, not having enough records to have individual year playlists for this period. My rules don't allow me to fill in the gaps, I must use the playlists from my old show.

It starts out with a topical Depression-era pop song, followed mostly by jazz but there's a few other things in there.

My faves are It Don't Mean a Thing (If it Aint Got that Swing), Garbage Man Blues, and Rye Whiskey.

#YearPlaylist: 1981 Part 1

LA, NY, DC, SF, Chicago, London, Coventry & Manchester are the collective provenance of this list's 19 records from 1981.

But LA accounts for half, from Gun Club, X, Black Flag, The Bags, & TSOL--most of which contribute more than one.

If there's an outlier, it's the one hit--Kids in America by Kim Wilde--but it doesn't really sound out of place alongside the US punk and UK post-punk records that account for the the balance.

#YearPlaylist: 1976

In addition to much #YearZero punk from a parade of likely suspects, there's also proto-punk from the Runaways and the 101ers, pop from ABBA and Bryan Ferry, one-hit wonders from Wild Cherry and Chris Spedding, and funk from the JBs.

A few obvious reggae classics from Dillinger, Clint Eastwood, and Junior Murvin are sprinkled throughout the noiselist.

#YearPlaylist: 1963 Part 1

What a year!

Lots of surf & other instros by The Blazers, Ronnie Kae, Link Wray, Dick Dale, Gary & Larry, Lonnie Mack, The Citations, & Neil Young's first group, The Squires. There's also vocal groups: the Chiffons, Crystals, Ronettes, Beatles & Beach Boys.

Plus various strands of R&B from Sonny Boy Williamson II, Bob & Earl, Derek Martin, and an early Rolling Stones demo, with some early ska from Lord Tanamo and Clancy Eccles.

#YearPlaylist: 1929

It's an understandably rustic mix this time, with half of the recordings coming from the famous Anthology of American Folk Music. Ethel Waters and Jimmie Rodgers bring the more polished sounds, while Memphis Minnie and Cannon's Jug Stompers account for 4 of the 17 songs.
