skipped over it since my compilation isn't marked by year in my library. but i think Oh Pretty Woman would be an HM

need to dive deeper in his catalog all ive heard is a 20 track greatest hits comp

Lmao, Space Oddity aside, 60s Bowie contains some of the worst music you'll ever hear

But not every artist starts out original tho, look at these Buddy Holly knock-offs

Lol the song I posted above that video is actually not bad better than I thought he was way back then

I'm talking about stuff like this circa 1967, genuinely can't make it through a full listen

Pulp Fiction probably introduced most of us to Chuck with this '64 classic (his only rock hit of the year that wasn't a recycled melody from his old stuff)

yeah definitely one of his best too imo and probably more deserving than Promised Land of my HM. shoutout Emmylou Harris whose cover I heard this week. cant remember what it was but I also heard another Chuck cover by a country aritst, cool to see him get that respect

Promised Land definitely a rewrite but it just slaps. and no particular place to go and little marie to a slightly lesser extend

Elric

yeah No Particular Place is just School Days again while Nadine is Maybelline (remix) why not

Yup that why I was surprised he wasn't bad in '64

Got to catch his final tour in my early dust days btw life changing

Thoughts on this being considered Spectors opus of '64? It's pretty tremendous, Hal Blaine going crazy on that bridge

Also expected Four Tops

For 1964 it's gotta be A Change Is Gonna Come, I don't see how you could beat that
Devastating miracle record, one of the few songs that can make me weep like a baby

for future years a good category to include might be the best covers of the year
