Holiday Music Challenge

Home for the holidays...music for the memories. So here's a little game to occupy the mind today or at least give the relatives something besides politics to debate:

Make a playlist that's sums up the musical history and pride of your home town. A time capsule for future listeners to uncover that will let them hear the evolution of the sound of your town.

Here's mine for Philadelphia:

• John Coltrane - Blue Train
• Chubby Checker - Let's Twist Again
• MFSB - TSOP (Soul Train theme)
• Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - If You Don't Know Me By Now
• William Devaughn - Be Thankful For What You've Got
• The O'jays - Love Train
• Todd Rundgren - Hello, It's Me
• The Three Degrees - When Will I See You Again
• Hall & Oates - She's Gone
• Elton John - Philadelphia Freedom
• Labelle - Lady Marmalade
• The Hooters - And We Danced
• USA for Africa - We Are The World (from Live Aid)
• Meek Mill - Dreams & Nightmares
• Dr. Dog - The Truth
• The Roots feat. Erykah Badu - You Got Me
• The War on Drugs - Under The Pressure

Cheers,

Spencer
