This is the 50th episode of Rock, Pop, and Roll. In honor, here are, of the 100's of 45's I owned, the 16 that I think shaped my musical journey.
It's what resonated. The building blocks of what I liked. Straight emotion - with no judgment of what was cool.
It's what made me move. Made me think and feel stuff I didn't quite yet understand. Bubble gum. Rock of the 50s and 60s. Some 70s country. A lot of hits. A few that weren't. And records I bought because I heard them on AM radio.
Really, it's the 16 songs that shaped what I would like for the rest of my life.
Come along for the ride.
Rob
