yeah but it takes at least a month per year so nobody got the patience for it

lmao he was anti-psychotherapy but pro-pharma wasnt he

Will give you massive props if you continue this through 2026

Dunno if I'll still be on here but I'll definitely keep going on my iTunes. Honing these playlists after an eon of marinating in dust from this era has been the most satisfying nerd s*** I've done in years starting to daydream about what my '66 and '73 etc lists will look like but also listening to literally nothing but 1960 jams for months (with a little Waits for variety)

gotta give it to your boys for being the first classic rock band out there before beatles or dylan or anyone

never dawned on me adding this to the trophy

me neither tbh

Finally need more jazz posts cause it a blind spot for me

hardest blues ever maybe

1961?

some classic chuck singles before he went to jail for a couple years

Curtis Mayfield siezes control of the Impressions

Elvis' first interesting song in a couple years

@Elric
schmaltzy af but one of my favorite elvis songs:

of course this f***ing legendary one, i think its my #1 of the year:

cool japanese song my friend showed me

blooz:

(full album only one song)

some sources say 1962 but discogs says 1961:

Del definitely has one of the bangers of the year, that even has an accidental tinge of psych imo

That Elvis ballad an all timer too of course

Didn't post any yet but I knew going in this year was gonna be Roy vs Roy for the top spot with Running Scared vs Crying

Crying in the Rain another shoe in....but not for 1961

Nobody touching the drama of Roy's operatic crescendos

Ray also dropped Hit The Road Jack but this goes way harder

yeah i cant find an exact release date for Crying in the Rain.. it was recorded in november but hit #6 on the charts in march so im just calling it '62 for my list

patsy legend

Elvis' backup singers on this one

Swear I know the melody the Japanese dude is singing either I've heard that song or it pinched it's melody from something else or maybe someone pinched his melody later on

yeah maybe you had just heard it before or something referencing it, it seems to be very famous. It actually was a US billboard #1 hit one of the only non english songs to achieve that

and one of the best selling singles ever. i knew it was a big song but not that big, damn

Must be in a movie or something

my friend came over, took her about 60 seconds to conjure the answer
