Between the 1920s, 1959 through 2003, this would be an 8 DVD-R box set, I'm guessing.. nothing too unmanageable. (Now, we just have to wait til they make DVD-R CD players)

(I'm working on getting out copies of 1978, 1988, and 1991 to those of you. Sorry for straggling)
Mainly, I'm beginning work on the site (now that I'm on vacation). I wouldn't expect anything for a while here, but for those of you who asked to do a year and haven't gotten it done yet (*AHEM* various 60s years, 1971, 1974, 1975, 1983, etc.) and still want to, I'd start now. Because once the site is up, submissions from the public for any year will be allowed, and this means whoever gets the comp for an undone year done first gets the first slot (i.e. has the default page for that year.) First come, first serve.

So, yeah, this was a long time ago. But I started a CDRGO 1971 way back then, and then a child's birth, a dissertation, and a couple of jobs intervened, detracting from the sort of focus one needs to do such a project. But now a PhD, a better job, and a kid who can entertain herself, and I'm finally done.

The main goals were "flow" and trying to cover nearly all the sub-genres and mixed-genres that were important, so I included paranoid soul, Motown, blue-eyed soul, jazz-rock, power pop, bubblegum, glam, novelty, jazz-pop, funk, spoken-word, jazz-funk, country-funk,pop-country, outlaw, folk-country, English music hall, art/prog rock, free jazz, MOR jazz, hard rock, heavy metal, art-soul, moog, K-Tel, singer-songwriter, countrypolitan-AM pop, bubblegum soul, blues-rock, avant-blues, Memphis soul, soundtrack, "world", reggae, gospel, and Krautrock.
I regarded anything on the '71 charts, a 71 album, or a 71 single release as fair game. Cheats: UK release of "Sweet Jane" as '71 single, and '72 single version of "Roundabout" rather than the (8 minute) album version. I just used whichever mp3 was available, and when 149 songs fit, rounding to 150 real songs seemed logical.
I included songs I don't particularly care for, but I judged representative. I probably wasted too much space on middlebrow jazz (Bassey, Severinsen, The Doors), but to me that seemed a substantial part of the era's sound. The Sweet song is not particularly strong, but I wanted to make an argument about bubblegum and glam. My knowledge of 1971 Jamaican and synthesized music is pretty thin, so those are probably poorly represented. I could only take so much of the countrypolitan backwash into the AM charts, so those choices ("Sooner or Later," "Don't Pull Your Love") were almost random and interchangeable ("Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling," "Do You KNow What I Mean"). Later samples and covers were probably pretty influential on some of the choices (cf. Boutique, Paul's).
Purposeful omissions: "The Day The Music Died," Van Morrison, James Taylor, "Joy To The World."
Close-but-not-quite: Alice Cooper, "Chick-A-Boom," "Standing In For Jody," Slade, Carla Thomas, The Stovall Sisters, Tommy James, Tommy Roe, Lester & Mac, "People Make the World Go Round," Brainticket, "Cousin Norman," "She's A Lady."
My playlist duplicates 21 selections from disco violence's 100 song '71 list.

Songs were chosen for album or single release in '74, or substantial chart action ("Jolene," "For The Love Of Money," and "The Joker," esp.) in that year. Got a little greedy, and all the mp3s would be 160 or 128 kbps. Flow was very important for order, but this time tried to include cross-genre affinities rather than segregating genres entirely. (E.g., matching gospel-y moments from country and soul music; avoided lumping all reggae together.) Again, I tried to get a selection from all relevant genres and sub-genres.
Intentional omissions: Steely Dan, Odds And Sods (Cozy Powell for your Who fix!), Lou Reed (see Andy Kim for "Sally Can't Dance" done right), Gram Parsons (real country is preferable, thank you), ABBA, "How Long", John Lennon (see Smyle), Grand Funk (they don't always suck, but '74's covers did), Randy Newman, Carly Simon/James Taylor, Sparks (I've got Queen, no?), Dave Loggins, Genesis, Ray Stevens, and some I'd reserve for '73 ("Show And Tell," "Smokin' In The Boys' Room," "Ballroom Blitz," "Tubular Bells").
Regretted absences: Herbie Hancock "Palm Grease" (if I coulda found a single version...), Blackbyrds, Dawson Smith "I Don't Know If I Can Make It," David Ruffin "No Matter Where," Jimmy Castor Bunch, Joe Farrell "Upon This Rock," Mel Tillis "Stomp Them Grapes," Moments & Whatnauts "Girls," Mud "Tiger Feet," Novi Singers "Five, Four, Three," Gary Stewart "Drinkin' Thing," Rasputin Slash "The Devil Made Me Do It," Sweet Sensation "Sad Sweet Dreamer" (high quality sap), and Ultrafunk "Kung Fu Man." The biggest disappointment was no soundtrack (at least that I could find) to Soul Power (the documentary that is basically an out-take version of the Zaire '74 concert shown in When We Were Kings), particularly the soukous (and other African) material.
Epiphanies: That the doomy strings that are characteristic of early '70s soul migrated into disco rather than actually disappearing; that "Old Black Water" is a really offensive tune; Shuggie Otis and Hot Chocolate are deeply weird.
Hardest calls (picking a band's representative song): James Brown (assuaged somewhat by "cheating" with Lyn Collins, Fred Wesley, and Maceo), New York Dolls, Isaac Hayes (many good, but not great, instrumentals), and Loretta Lynn ("Trouble In Paradise," oh my God, her voice).

these would be cooler if there was links to stream them

Did anyone ever compile DVD-Rs of this whole thread? Just wondering; there are still mixes here I'd love to hear sometime.
