Moka's 250 Favorite Songs of the 50's - A selection.

That's a fun longlist moka, thank you! If yr looking for suggestions for other stuff, there's lots of great miles to choose from </captain obvious>

Another obv one but maybe you hate it: Elmore James - Dust My Broom

Thanks for the Spotify links in these polls Moka, enjoying them

Some recommendations, but if you've already mined the ILM poll, you may have already dismissed these:

João Gilberto - Desafinado
João Gilberto - Chega de Saudade
Lucho Gatica - Historia de un Amor
Connie Francis – Who’s Sorry Now?
Stelios Kazantzidis – Zigkouala
Mukesh – Awara Hoon
Santo & Johnny – Sleepwalk
Johnny Mathis – Misty
Farid Al-Atrash - Ana Willy Bahebo
Tito Rodriguez - Tremendo Cumban
Celia Cruz - Mi Sonsito

NickB: Yeah I'm still missing some huge jazz figures in here. Still a work in progress so many songs I need to listen to. Elmore James I need to listen to!

Le Bateau: glad you enjoy them. I love discovering music through other people's lists! Everyone on ILM should make one of these decade lists haha.

Rudi: "Historia de un Amor" is there. The other recommendations are dope and I'm seriously missing Joao Gilberto, Tito and Celia. There's many latin music I need to consider for inclusion.

Oddly enough I've never liked Santo & Johnny's Sleepwalking. It's a great piece of music but I've never felt particularly excited by it.

heck yeah

From the long list, it would be "Spoonful", then probably "Monk's Mood". From the short list, I'll take "Diddy Wah Diddy". Notable absences: Fats Domino, Ricky Nelson.

" I Put a Spell on You"

― Bee OK

The more I hear it the more I think Jay Hawkins was actually insane.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
