I'm not all old dude music - there's still plenty of "newish" stuff out there that is solid as your recent @GrundleStiltzkin thread demonstrated - but it's hard for those artists to compete with the overall greatness of those showing up in these lists. Sharon Jones (RIP) and Charles Bradley, for example, are terrific, but they are not pioneers of these genres in the way the artists of the 50's - 80's were. So many of the best ideas have been all used up.GrundleStiltzkin said:Props to @YellowSnow for shoutout to Daptone Records. RIP Ms. Sharon Jones.

There's a documentary on either Amazon or Netflix about The Funk Brothers, the studio musicians on all the great Motown songs. Very cool.YellowSnow said:

There's another doc on The Wrecking Crew, the studio musicians on all the great tunes out of LA in the 60's and 70s. Good watch.
