Sun and Summer

While researching for other things, I came upon this list. On 20 June, 2012, New Music Express released its top 100 songs of the last 60 years, well since its first release in 1952. Below is the top 20 of which I’ve selected 16. The Beach Boys appeared on last week’s list, The Dizzee Rascal tune is rubbish and didn’t feel like including the Sex Pistols.

Beach Bots, Pet Sounds

Playlist by Algernon

Recently the Rolling Stones celebrated 50 years together as a group. The Beach Boys first formed in 1961 and released their first album in 1962. Their most prolific period was the 1960’s. Pet sounds was arguably one of their best and significant albums.

Here is a selection of their music, and in particular Pet Sounds. For Chicago and Elton John – look out for the backing vocals

To know him is to love him – Amy Winehouse

“Spector, famed producer who has worked with talents such as The Beatles, The Ramones, The Teddy Bears, and The Righteous Brothers, had his world turned upside down on February 3rd, 2003. Lana Clarkson was found dead in his home in California. Spector was arrested for her murder but his trial was declared a mistrial. The retrial for Spector began in late 2008. On April 13 2009, Spector was found guilty of 2nd degree murder. He was sentenced to 19 years to life making him eligible for parole in 2028. Considering he is 70 now, I don’t think we will be seeing Spector outside the walls of prison before his life is over.” http://myfivebest.com/five-famous-people-currently-in-jail/
