Interesting exercise. Does one pick favourite genres and then appropriate artists? Is it better to go for the artists irrespective of genre? The best might well transcend genres
My opener for one has been discussed here before: Veedon Fleece by George Ivan Morrison. Staggering vocals and a superb consistently high quality collection of songs
Stagger has poor vocals.
The beer drinker's prayerOur beer
Which art in bottles
Hallowed by thy sport
Thy will be drunk I will be drunk
At home as it is in the pub
Give us each day our daily schooners
And forgive us our spillage
As we forgive those who spillest against us
And lead us not into the practice of poofy wine tasting
And deliver us from Tequila
For mine is the bitter
The talent and the footy
Forever and ever
Barmen.
I am not unimpressed with that choice since Astral Weeks is my # 6 (I do have Veedon Fleece) . Of course the bald, bloated, obnoxious tub of lard then released it 36 more times under different titles in increasingly diluted versions of his master piece: but to get it right once is more than most artists do.
