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.
