Never I was too much in Jazz. Perhas I never took the time to dive into it though. Agree with you, Ella and Louis are not to be forgotten. have some of their work on tape still. Let me go a little bit later in time, the 70s. Electronic Music. After the kinda first steps in the 60s, perhaps even 50s, a range of artists emerged who are considered pioneers by today's artists such as Klaus Schulze, Kraftwerk, and Brian Eno. The first album by Brian I link here.

One of the earlier albums by Kraftwerk is the iconic Autobahn

What do you think of electronic music? Something you listen to sometimes, or more than sometimes?

A range of artists shall be on your list, from the Beatles to Jerry Lee Lewis to uhm ... All the oldies basically (lol) ... Owww what about Marlene Dietrich? And Edith Piaf?

Sort:  

Definitely they were pioneers in electronic music. Eno with experimental electronics and alternative rock.

I am not a big fan of electronic music, but there are some really good things out there. I listen to it from time to time. I hope to be able to collect many of the classics, although some may be left out. Haha Edith Piaf I love her.

I am so happy to read you.

Somehow I was pulled into the rabbit hole of el😆ectronic music back in 1988 when two things came on my path:

  1. I was gifted my first HIFI system including CD
  2. A shop around the corner where I lived, renting out CDs

This rental place ordered everything their customers wanted, ie when an artist wasn't on their shelves; I simply asked for it; They ordered it. They just started when I moved there (and no, I didn't select that home because of that shop, or did I not? 😆). Had the change of going through so many genres, styles and whatnot. Discovered tons of artists and albums. Rented 4 to 8 CDs a week. Somehow I stuck to the more electronic side of things, well, perhaps the music without lyrics. Perhaps because not too many peeps liked such. Nothing of such in the top 40 to 100. Not on TV. Not on radio. Anyways, ones in that rabbit hole, it is might difficult to get out of it... Kinda like a black hole perhaps? 😅

Classics: well Elvis must be getting in your list! And a bit older, Shirley Bassey. Owww the movies, Fred Astaire hahaha

I understand the feeling, something similar happened to me. Surely you didn't choose the accommodation because of the store??? I would have done it hahaha. Ufff you consumed a lot of music for that time. Those were good times. I also remember my first approach was with a cassette player that I found around the house when I was very young that had some Billie Holiday songs, I will never forget it and some by the Beatles, I would not let go of the cassette player, I was always glued to it, until my grandfather noticed that I liked it a lot and at night he would take out some records he had and tell me about the artists and their history until I fell asleep, I will never forget this. Until I grew up and technology developed and well, now it is quite easy to have music at everyone's fingertips. But I will never forget those nights of stories and good music that my grandfather gave me.

I'm going to leave you the link for day 2 https://ecency.com/hive-193816/@froesmari34/dynamic-day-2-of-365?referral=froesmari34here so you can tell me what you think and today I will be uploading day 3.

...because of the store??? I would have done it hahaha

you would've? 😆😆😆 I also, but it was pure coincidence pffff 😆

But I will never forget those nights of stories and good music that my grandfather gave me.

It's great to have such memories, they will forever stay.

...now it is quite easy to have music at everyone's fingertips

True. Though to find the hidden gems is even more difficult today than it was before the digital era started 🙃

owwwk daily thingy indeed, I'll now race to 2 and 3 🎶
