The 100 most important American musical works of the 20th century ?
Now that is quite the claim :bouncy: :dont-know
An interesting selection on a vast body of music to choose from. It certainly cover a wide spectrum of musical styles & genres. Any list that has the Ramones' I wann be sedated, Benny Goodman's "sing, sing, sing" along with Apalachian Spring in it cant be all that bad.
Some of it is pretty interesting (and informative) at times.
:applaud: Enjoy! (some of it :D)

Agreed (edited original post), some of this stuff is way off, who says those guys at NPR are'nt smoking some of the good stuff.
Not a big Bruce guy myself but some people really love this guy.
I was mainly interested on some of the jazz stuff but even there glaring omissions ocurr, No Satchmo?!
& you have nirvana making the list as well (they're not bad but top 100?!) :blink:
Well at least we can get a good laugh out of it :applaud: :D
