Let The Music Oracles Speak: The January Vinyl Spin Challenge Thread

January 19: Keith Richards
Keef!
I have a bunch of Stones on vinyl, but went with this Sopranos soundtrack because of Thru and Thru, which Keith sings. He also has another track on this comp as well.

Also, Thru and Thru was used on the season finale of The Sopranos S2, and it's just awesome. Just watching this makes me think I could watch that series yet again.

The Clash - London Calling

My high school years were full of ska punk, which led me back to one of the first bands to fuse punk with ska and reggae, the Clash... which eventually led to listening to some original ska and reggae. To be honest, I still could learn a lot more about the genre.

Beyond her extraordinary musical talent, Tina Turner's life story became a source of inspiration for many. Her autobiography, "I, Tina," and the biographical film "What's Love Got to Do with It" shed light on her journey, resilience, and triumph over adversity. Turner's impact on the music industry is immeasurable, and she is rightfully recognized as the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll." Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Tina Turner's enduring legacy extends far beyond her chart-topping hits, reflecting her indomitable spirit and contribution to the cultural landscape.
