not without playing you some of his music i can't. he was an amazing songwriter and musician. open your mind and get rid of your expectations and you'll get it. for a man in the twilight of his life to embrace music by nick cave, beck, U2 and nine inch nails is amazing in itself. that the results were as good as they were should speak volumes.

This week:

1) DJ Cam - Liquid Hip Hop (2004) "Premier"
2) Herbie Hancock - Sunlight (1978) "I Thought It Was You"
3) Chi-Ali - The Fabulous Chi-Ali (1992) "Looped It"
4) Run-D.M.C. - King Of Rock (1985) "Darryl And Joe (Krush-Groove 3)"
5) Q And Not U - Power (2004) "Wonderful People"

I recently started listening to Cash's music and the huge appeal to me is he managed to be such a badass but sincere at the same time. His songs carried a lot of resonance. I think when people call Cash country they're doing him a disservice. He really is rock n roll.

WildheartXXX said:

in his autobiography "cash", he even said that he considered his style or "genre" to be "mountain music" moreso than country & western, and that he was disappointed in most contemporary country music. i think of him as his own genre - somewhere between folk and rockabilly and whatever he was in the mood to record at the time. he was far more original than people gave him credit for...and i think he got a lot of credit.

This is really hard. I'll probably change my mind as soon as I post, but here goes....

Sign O the Times - Prince
Listen Without Predjudice - George Michael
Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
Boxed Set - Marvin Gaye (hey, that's allowed )
Revolver - The Beatles (no wait I have to say Lauryn Hill or Al Green)

Can't we choose out top 10 instead??

If you can spare a few $$ pick up one of the dozens 'best ofs' that are out there and just listen...If you can spare more than a few $$$ pick up anything from his 'american recordings', that's all the explanation you need.

He totally transcends the genre of country (he is in the rock & roll hall of fame to) He's elvis, he's dylan, he's tom petty, he's hank...all rolled into one. But more important: he's Johnny *dang* Cash! His music is just so down to earth, like a tree is embedded in the ground, his music is embedded in reality. I know it sounds a bit strange but the feeling i get from his music is like when i worked in the yard all day, your back is killing you, you're covered in dirt, your nails are black...but you know you worked and you know what you did was real (there's nothing more real than making something grow out of the dirt)...that's his music: REAL!
