ReplyDeleteDisappointed Remember You're A Womble didn't make that Pitchfork list.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the answer to this is will be "fuck no" but did you watch The Get Down?
ReplyDeleteI love it. I love the Baz luhrmann show about Hip-Hop Kulcha.
Its about disco too but yeh.
Only TV I acknowledge in 2016 is Neighbours, Wentworth, couple of BBC quiz shows, and exploitative reality trash on C5.

Gotta respect that
ReplyDeleteTEXAS IS THE REASON THAT THE PRESIDENT'S DEAD
ReplyDeleteJust started dipping my toes in non hip-hop music, so enjoyed this one in particular. Also liked the '80s piece you did a while back. Any chance we can get one for the '60s as well?
ReplyDeleteMy knowledge of the 60s is basic af, tbh. Tried to do an off-the-top top 20 tunes but could only think of 19.
ReplyDeleteThem - Mystic Eyes
Isaac Hayes - Walk On By
Link Wray - Jack The Ripper
Howlin' Wolf - I Asked For Water (She Gave Me Gasoline)
Marius Constant - Twilight Zone (Theme)
The Ronnettes - Be My Baby
Love - A House Is Not A Motel
James Brown - Cold Sweat
Marva Whitney - It's My Thing
Ennio Morricone - Man With A Harmonica
Rolling Stones - Jumpin' Jack Flash
Muddy Waters - Tom Cat
Frankie Valli & The 4 Seasons - Walk Like A Man
The Shirelles - Baby, It's You
The Zombies - Time Of The Season
Eddie Bo - Hook And Sling
Roy Grainer - Doctor Who (O.G Theme)
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
The Sonics - Psycho
60s list needs some Cilla and some Gerry and The Pacemakers.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, much obliged!
ReplyDeletegroundhogs ftw
ReplyDeleteif the p4k list didn't contain "hot and nasty" by black oak arkansas, it ain't trill.
👌
ReplyDeleteAppreciate this. As far as non-rap music, the seventies is it really.

Funkadelic - Cosmic Slop
Santana - Samba Pa Ti
Curtis Mayfield - Billy Jack
Al Green - Something
Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express
Yeah, and add these ones:
Bobbi Humphrey - Harlem River Drive
Parliament - Mothership Connection
Syl Johnson - Could I be Falling in Love
Tim Maia - Que Beleza
Jorge Ben - Errare Humanum Est
Caetano Veloso - Partido Alto
Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson – The Bottle
