Comment:
Something fascinates me about musicians openly admitting that there's a world outside their own recordings. Here are some of my favorites, and I'm sure I missed a few. Note, any and all potential candidates for this mix by Lynyrd Skynyrd or Deep Purple were omitted with extreme prejudice.Feedback:
This was a really cool idea. I managed to figure out the references in most of these, but there are still some I don't know. I'm doing a mix right now that is going to be taking it's title from the Pixies tune...from the reference to the outside artist as a matter of fact. Yeah, this is super cool.
Great idea and great mix.
Great idea for a mix.
In the references department, I prefer "Suzanne" to "In the Garage."
Long may you run was about a hearse.
True, but it does make reference to the Beach Boys and "Caroline, No," one of the prettiest songs ever recorded.
I was actually thinking of doing a mix like this but got too lazy. Good work! Check out "A Drop in Time" by Mercury Rev, another Cohen reference.
