PLAYLIST 6/1/11

BEST ALBUMS

 2010

PART 1

I GOT EVERYTHING I NEED ALMOST

FROM 30 DOWN TO 10 [ALMOST] AND THERE WERE A FEW COMPULSORY INCLUSIONS. HOW COULD I LEAVE OUT HENDRX, THE STONES, DR JOHN AND RONNIE EARL? WELL OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS STAY TUNED. HOW CAN I CLASSIFY THE BLUES FOR 2010 WHEN I CAN’T DO IT ON A WEEKLY BASIS?   WHY SHOULD I SUBJECT MYSELF TO THIS SORT OF SCRUTINY?
