.
ie: no vocals

so I was listening to the SURF channel on Pandora last night and PIPELINE by The Chantays comes on and I like it so much that it seemed a good basis for a new thread (since we've done ALBUMS, SONGS, COUNTRY etc) ...many times I pick up great recommendations in these discussions.

but then I remembered that LVB's "Ode to Joy" is incredible too, but Oh Oh , it has choral ...but the 5th is nearly as good.

Oh and then there is Gershwin's RHAPSODY IN BLUE , that has to be there too.

So until my memory gets jogged a little, wud have to call those my candidates for BEST 3

What are your entries in this category ??? :dont-know:

i've been listening to a lot of cajun music lately...

and one of the players that i enjoy immensely is Octa Clark,
most of his more famous songs are instrumentals...

Of course, there's a WIKI page for the Rock side ;)

first in stereo ??

"the guitar was most prominent. Duane Eddy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_Eddy) scored several hits (his best known probably being "Rebel 'Rouser"). Eddy was the first rock & roll artist to release an album in stereo."
