As to a music list, I have about 3,500 songs on my ipod, all individually selected-—no albums. In other words, I really want them there. Here are some albums where I took almost every song:
Jefferson Airlane, “Surrealistic Pillow”
Jimi Hendrix, “Are You Experienced?”
Moby Grape, “Moby Grape”
Cream, both “Wheels of Fire” and “Disraeli Gears”
Howard Jones, “Dream Into Action”
Alan Parsons, “Gaudi”
Michael W. Smith, “Worship” and “It’s a Wonderful Christmas” (best Christmas album ever), “Above All,” “Cross of Gold”
almost anything from the first 3-4 Point of Grace or Avalon albums
many of the Tubes’ songs including “She’s a Beauty,” “Step by Step”, “What do you want from Life?” and “Talk to ya Later.”
Clint Black, “Killin Time,” “America: I”m still in Love with You,” “Nothin but the Tail Lights,” “No Time to Kill,”
The Weeknd, “Save Your Tears,” “Take my Breath”
Stephen Curtis Chapman, “Magnificent Obsession,” “Dive,” “Live Out Loud” almost anything
Mark Schultz, “Letters from War,” “She Was Watchin,” I Have Benn There,” “Iverson,”
ANYTHING off the WOW 2003, 2004, and 2005 compliations.
I like Halsey, Tate McCrae, Panic at the Disco
Super album is “The Greatest Showman” but also the “Greatest Showman” redone by various artists
Rod Stewart, “Camoflauge”
Jeff Beck, “Guitar Workshop,” “Blow by Blow,” and his version of “People Get Ready” as well as that of Rod.
Vanilla Fudge’s first album “Vanilla Fudge” and their fourth and fifth albums “Near the Beginning” and “Rock and Roll”
Cactus . . . anything.
The Doors, mostly anything
Santana, “Abraxis” and “Santana.”
Joe Cocker, “Delta Lady,” “High Time We Went,” “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window,” “A Little Help from My Friends”
Yes, “Relayer,” “Close to the Edge,” “Fragile’ especially.
And finally, check out our soundtrack for “Rockin’ the Wall”
on itunes. I think every song there is a winner or I wouldn’t have put it in the soundtrack.
Great list. I was thinking a weekly ping list. Could be music or other content. Just a thought. They want to shut down yet another supplier of consciousness.

Thanks for sharing. You really should write “The History of Rock Music” book.
One of the best things about Spotify is I can grab a list like yours and peruse it.
