OK.
I won’t distract another thread with my musings, but …
I don’t blame you. I’m a U.S. citizen and I’m afraid of Americans.
A little throwback to the good old days of swinging blues.
Some music has changed for me due to other media. One song in particular is “Magic Carpet Ride” I will always see the movie Team America in my mind when I hear it and those dancing puppets will get me laughing so it not all bad. They are starting to rehash lots of great songs even in commercials which i think takes away from the music.
For me, it’s Star Trek: Next Generation movie First Contact. They played “Magic Carpet Ride” in that one too.

I’m a lifelong Trekkie. I know more about Star Trek than I do about other movies and shows. lol

I’ve always loved that song. From the first time I heard it on the radio when it was released and still do.
An obscure little gem that is just pure poetic artistry
An all-time classic by Miles Davis.
Blue In Green
And another brilliant performance by Chet Baker
I guess I’m out of touch…
I’ve heard OF a number of the songs.
I have (maybe) heard, a handful of the songs.
I have heard of very few of the artists.
And I regularly listen to None of the artists.
There are only 80 songs in history that have been certified diamond — here they all are (yahoo.com)
I wouldn’t miss a beat if they all burned. (the songs, not the artists)
However note:
if a song has moved at least 10 million equivalent units by combining sales and streaming numbers, and if an artist or label requests certification.
So it’s simply a marketing scheme.
This is another composition for music lovers. It’ll take you on a wonderful magical South American trip.
And no library would be complete without this romantic masterpiece/
Another masterpiece by Joni Mitchell
And for sheer technical and improvisational brilliance: “Have You Heard”
wonderful Finnish contribution
And an Argentinian interpretation of Pat Metheny’s “First Cycle”
