Purpose: To create a repository of entertaining musical/visual experiences that we can readily tap into with a smart phone or tablet and a pair of headphones. Also - To maintain a site for the exchange of interesting musical trivia and personal experiences from our youth. Guidelines: (Open to suggestion, revision, and contribution). Try to avoid the overly exposed groups and songs...Beatles, Stones, etc. Try to mine the older, more obscure material. Careful, for example, when it comes to 80s Glam rock, but dont exclude some of the great performances by groups like Def Leppard (Never sure why it wasnt Leopard, but then theres Def to explain too.) Do exclude throwaway, obligatory ballads that the record labels required of every band in the 80s who did not have enough clout to resist the pressure or who realized the fast buck to be made with glib. saccharine lyrics aimed at susceptible young women. Select the highest quality performance both musically and visually. If there are two worthwhile versions of the same song...post both. If there is only one version available, but its reduced recording quality is offset by other redeeming factors. share it . But absolutely no phone camera posts. There are some early. artistic, well-produced MTV videos that are worth revisiting. But please. unless you can make the case, none of the quick-cut, frenetic. seizure-inducing videos that MTV devolved into broadcasting. Finally, if no video or recorded concert is available, but the song cannot be ignored, post the audio recording. If in doubt, less is more. No sense reassembling Youtube here. Goals: Create a site of densely concentrated, high quality. classic musical performances that can be easily tapped into and enjoyed. Final Note: The group topic covers a lot of musical genres. At some point it may make sense to create a separate group for each musical style.
