Someday when I have more time I'll scour YouTube's library for great pre-rock music, but for now here are some essentials:

The Duke Ellington Orchestra with Billie Holiday, Symphony in Black



Hank Williams, Cold, Cold Heart



Fats Waller, Ain't Misbehavin'



Bessie Smith, St. Louis Blues



And there's a whole lot more where that came from.

Jonathon's clip of Billy Holiday made me think of this sweet Tupac Shakur video. Its pretty nice.

Pigs On a Wing by Pink Floyd



Not just a good song, but also a clean, quick documentary about one of those odd little moments in Rock history.

Two classic Beatles rockers:

Revolution

I Wanna Be Your Man

Thanks a lot BA. Now I have to kill the good vibes put in my head by the Beatles perfect melodies and upbeat enthusiasm by watching Kern's "King of Sex" video and Lydia Lunch's "Dance of the Dead Babies."

One of my all-time favourite blues guitarists in Roy Buchanan, partly because of his sheer daring and originality. I managed to find a few videos of him on You Tube, but I find his rendition of "When a Guitar Plays the Blues" a good illustration of his originality. Oddly enough, mostly because the song is such a hoary old standard and his band mostly plays it as straight as possible. Which in any other context would make it another competently played, but ultimately generic blues song. But it rises above all that percisely because of Buchanan's screaming guitar tone and innovative playing. It's not the best example of his playing, but for the reasons listed above I find it does a nice job of illustrating what an inventive player he was.

Going back a bit, but here's Cab Calloway doing Minnie the Moocher

Oh heck, here's some more Roy, though something more interesting and off the beaten track. His signature tune "The Messiah Will Come Again" and Don Gibson's "Sweet Dreams", with beautiful quavering Telecaster work.

"Blank Generation/Love Comes in Spurts" by Richard Hell and the Voidoids.

Glad to see that you recognize my need to get those damm sugarplums out of my head.

I mostly know about 'ol Roy as the mentor to the Band and really hadn't heard all that much of his work, let alone his solo stuff. But I've got to tell you, that this is one hell of a good performance.

He stroked that axe like a true master.
