Last week I asked readers to choose a number between 1 and 7000 to help me mark the appearance in the previous post of the 7000th song to be featured on the blog.
Six of you kindly did so. These are the songs that correspond to those numbers on my spreadsheet (on which songs are listed alphabetically by artist and then alphabetically for each artist where there has been one song from the aforementioned artist - for those of you taking notes).
The Big 6 have come up with a pretty cool playlist. Of course that would not have been possible if I hadn't been cool enough to share the songs in the first place. Collectively we're a pretty cool gang. Bonus points go to C and her ESP for picking a number with the word "number" in the title.
"Wild Mountain Thyme" - Marianne Faithfull (Walter - 1893)
"Something On Your Mind" - Karen Dalton (Charity Chic - 1314)
"Peculiar Number" - The Abyssinians (C - 15)
"Sister Carol" - Barrington Levy (Spence - 3535)
"On A Saturday" - Keith West (The Swede - 6666)
"Dark Eyed Sailor" - Folkdove (Pete From Minnesota - 2026)
Walter chose 1893 because it is the year the mighty VfB Stuttgart were founded. While I'm always happy to hear the young Marianne Faithfull singing old British folk songs - and similarly happy to hear a bunch of Breton hippies doing the same on Pete's selection - I can't help wishing Walter's team had been founded just a year earlier. If it had been he would have selected what I consider the greatest mash-up of all time. Here it is.
