This list is messed up.. some have the artist first and others have the song first. It's going to be confusing to read the list that way.

Title is self-explanatory...name a song (not by Prince lol) you feel people "must" hear before they die.

The rules:

1) You can only name ONE song per post.

2) You must wait until 5 other people have posted before you can name another song.

3) No songs by Prince.

4) You must number your songs.

A running list will be kept so you can keep track of what's been listed and what has not.

confuse Is this THE Byron from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen's club?

lol.. here you go.. I think this is accurate. If we could have everyone posting put the song first, artist second, we could keep the list easily readable.

39. Tapioca Tundra ~ The Monkees

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

41) Louis Armstrong - West End Blues

Records “West End Blues” on June 28, 1928, which is today considered one of the most famous recordings in early jazz.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Louis Armstrong’s achievements are remarkable. During his career, he:

  • developed a way of playing jazz, as an instrumentalist and a vocalist, which has had an impact on all musicians to follow;

  • recorded hit songs for five decades, and his music is still heard today on television and radio and in films;

  • wrote two autobiographies, more than ten magazine articles, hundreds of pages of memoirs, and thousands of letters;

  • appeared in more than thirty films (over twenty were full-length features) as a gifted actor with superb comic timing and an unabashed joy of life;

  • composed dozens of songs that have become jazz standards;

  • performed an average of 300 concerts each year, with his frequent tours to all parts of the world earning him the nickname “Ambassador Satch,” and became one of the first great celebrities of the twentieth century.


Through the years, Louis entertained millions, from heads of state and royalty to the kids on his stoop in Corona. Despite his fame, he remained a humble man and lived a simple life in a working-class neighborhood. To this day, everyone loves Louis Armstrong—just the mention of his name makes people smile.
