Re: [ARSCLIST] New LoC Recording Registry

[Don Chichester <Dnjchi@xxxxxxx>]

I was surprised to note that in the description of Nat  Wills'   "No 
News...", reference is made to the servant and his master.  I don't  recall that 
was the relationship at all. He was a wealthy man with a hired  servant.  
Period.

Jim has  a good point. Why is the Who in the LOC registry? Are there any 
Ventures,  Seeds, Strawberry 
Alarmclock, Hourglass? Also, as much as I love the Who,  they've freely 
admitted that their early 
stuff was heavily copped from  James Brown, Motown, Stax, Duke/Peacock, 
etc. Why not put the original  
source material in the Registry first? The Who album that belongs in the  
all the registries is 
"Tommy" and perhaps "Quadrophenia." Those were truly  something new and 
different.

This is  par for course, really.  The date for Brown's Live at the
Apollo was  wrong before.

Also, any one want to place a bet on how many more  British,
Boomer-idol rock stars get theirs before an American punk or  metal
band?  I find it fascinating that there's plenty of proto-  and
post-punk, but no punk.  Kinda want to go to Vegas and place a  bet
that we'll see "Stairway to Heaven" on the registry before  "Blitzkrieg
Bop," "Nervous Breakdown," or "Master of Puppets" (or even  "Shout at
the Devil").
