I want Kanye to do a cover of Well Wlel Well

He would knock it out it out of the park.

Imagine.

Though you were talking about music from the 30's at first

there was some swing bangers in that decade

@Elric you been marinating on that Hendrix 1970 material for the unfinished 4th studio album?

Cole Porter had bars

No but I have been listening to your Grateful Dead playlist. Post the Hendrix one again, I need to download it.

We are currently on Elvis' peak

1968-1973

Dead been sinking in at all?

As obsessed as I am with his 1956 with Scotty Moore I am finally willing to admit that his 1969 with Chips Moman had just as many stunner songs but with Elvis going much deeper into his performances that ever before

nothing topping the legendary mid 50s era im afraid

Yeah thought I explained how they finally really sunk in between that version of Morning Dew and all the gems off the studio albums. Could tell right away Ripple was a classic.

i feel like i should worship the sun sessions stuff more than i do though idk

yeah i knew those but wasnt sure about the rest

the longest jams palatable to you at all tho? the Dark Star on that playlist is elite tier psych masterwork. i tried to stay away from just packing the playlist with all 20+min jams

My buddy and I had Sun Sessions on repeat for years back when we first dove into Elvis and were the same age he was when he recorded them tremendous nostalgia for those days. When I moved on to the RCA era and he got backup singers felt like such a progression lol.

Not as much as Morning Dew but I can dig it when I'm working

when it dissolves all the way into near-silence then builds back up

1969-1973 is his artistic peak, but I still prefer his pre-army sound

What's your favorite Elvis song?

This probably mine

Heartbreak Hotel, probably

Slightly off-topic:

1960 has to have, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" in the running for the best track of that year.

I adore that song, it moves me so much.

Just cracked the top 20 it's a classic

Discovered these Shirelle deep cuts for this thread and they are going to go down as all timers for me

Discovered alot of girl group deep cuts that should have been more famous tbh

Yeah that atmosphere still unparalleled there's also the slashing guitar solo onslaught of Hound Dog Scotty Moore's All Along The Watchtower

then you got Jailhouse Rock which is another one of the hardest rockers of the 50s

His vocals on this one wish he would’ve done more bluesy stuff

This my newest favourite early 60s gem discovered thanks to this thread took the Bo Diddley beat to the most effervescent pop realm ever
