Sorry if I screwed something up, just trying to give a nod to a great American classic.
but just prior to the bit you copied he specified 1970 as a start point so that it would be relative to our generations. what's the point of trying to create a new book if it's going to repeat the old one?

there's no denying Georgia On My Mind is great, though I prefer Blue Skies for the same mood.

i also think it's kind of ridiculous to just refer to catalogs as well. whatever, let's see what Big3 says about this. it's his idea after all.

just refering to catalogs? What?

Anything since 1970. Yes. It also have to be able to translate into differnt styles, I'm a little curious about V&F's suggestion of 7 nation army.

YouTube is littered with 'Seven Nation Army' covers. You should check some of them out.

like - everything by Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen. yeah i understand their significance but they do have standouts.

also it's just shy of 1970 but seriously - Castles Made of Sand.
