In reply to Duke Ellington or Black Sabbath?, posted by curtm on July 11, 2006, at 11:54:21

Both are important, but neither touches me enough to be regular listening. I guess a black American man whose best work was in the 30's and 40's, versus a white English group whose best work was in the 70's is an interesting choice. Maybe time, place, race aren't even factors.

Hank Williams or Kraftwerk?

I'll go with Black Sabbath. I love jazz, but electric guitars are my first love.

But if it was Coltrane or Zeppelin, I'd go with Coltrane. Who knows exactly why. I guess counting records and being honest about how often I listen is the only real criterea.

In the great historical scheme of things, Ellington might be more important, he is clearly a better musical mind.

Helping to bridge the racial divide in America with music that first entertained then later enlightened the popular audience versus giving a voice to the unvoiced underclass city youth of early seventies white america and england.

I'm thinking way too much.
