Canon in D Major may be the sleeper favorite, but I'm happy to see the Nylons on there twice
ReplyDeleteI linked to as many good versions as I could find. I'll get the notes up in a minute.

ReplyDeleteRe: 27- Who specifically? : )
ReplyDeleteRe: 30- This song was on a "road trip" mix cd circa my freshman year of college. I hadn't thought of it in years. Hearing it made me smile.
Re: links/videos- Well done, Nathan! I haven't been able to link too much because my work computer speakers stink, and my headphones don't reach from under my desk to my ears.
I didn't know that Phil Ochs song before, but now I can't get it out of my head. It's an example of these lists doing good work, though, in that I'm hearing a bunch of new things, and some of it will stick.
