Mashables:
The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences on Tuesday revealed the new inductees into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The 27 recordings inducted bring the total in the hall to 960, including albums and singles that span from Hoagy Carmichael’s “Georgia on My Mind” (1930) to Run-D.M.C.’s cover of “Walk this Way” (1986).
Like most lists of “Best of…” this one is likely to cause at least a little controversy. Which of these songs do you think don’t belong in the Grammy Hall of Fame?
Uh, a list that contains Mary Poppins and Run-D.M.C. has certainly not been created by what they call a “focus group”…
Glad Gil Scott-Heron is on there, Young and Harrison are obvious choices, Parker and Davis, too. Don’t care for all that musical and country stuff though.
You don’t have to like every one of these to keep from recognizing their importance. Almost all Western music is related in some way, if only structurally.
