How do you pick a favorite?
I’ve always been bad at that.
You ask me for one favorite, and I give you a list of them.
Or you ask me for a favorite, and I give you one, only to amend it two months later.
I do this often with albums. I have a favorite song, and then one day I’m driving along, and something about a different song strikes me.
It doesn’t mean that I no longer have that favorite, just that I have a new one.
That’s the cool thing about music, it’s a constant state of discovery. Even when things are so ordinary, so familiar, I still find something new, something redemptive. Music’s ability to preserve our history will never cease to amaze me.
I love old German music, swing music from the 40s, music from eras like the 50s and 60s, even the 90s! Songs, like those I have posted below. Please make sure you give that Rock Hall of Fame song a listen, it features what likely is one of the best Prince guitar solos EVER!
