VA - Singer Songwriters, Readers Poll Selections Vol. 1 - 15 (A Butterboy Compilation) (15 x CD's) + Bonus
Its been 3 weeks since the last Readers Poll suggestions for greatest singer/songwriters tricked through. I want to wholeheartedly thank everyone who contributed to this list. There are some wonderful tracks here. There are 365 tracks identified (one for each day of the year). Every track you suggested will be included, with exception for multiple tracks, in the compilations that support this readers Poll choices.
It took some time to decide the best way to compile these tracks. I have settled on compiling them in the following manner. Year written and Artist (alphabetically , and Title alphabetical if more than one track by an artist in a given year).
When you hear some of the tracks put forward you will probably not be too surprised but I assure you that when you listen to the compilations created you will not be disappointed. The mix is terrific and anyone interested in music will enjoy these; your selections. I hope I have not omitted any of your choices, If I have please forgive me and please drop me a comment and I will generate a bonus CD accordingly.
Even though some artists were previously included in the two sets of Butterboy compilations all of your suggestions will be included in these new compilations. Where the same tracks were identified several times it will only be included once. (Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" was suggested 6 times...).
In whatever the order these appear they are all wonderful tracks that will enriched our listening pleasure. And what Gems they are. If you haven't heard a particular track, be prepared to hear something beautiful and rewarding. Again thank all for you support and contribution.
The following 15 x 25 track compilations + I Bonus CD, Readers Poll Selections represent your selections. Enjoy!
Note: The Contributing Artist description in the tagged files actually refers to the Songwriter. and the Artist is the performing artist.
A special mention to Aging Child, who came up with the initial idea. Thanks my friend. It was worth it.

VA - Singer Songwriters, Readers Poll Selections Vol. 1 - 15 (A Butterboy Compilation) (15 x CD's) + Bonus
Its been 3 weeks since the last Readers Poll suggestions for greatest singer/songwriters tricked through. I want to wholeheartedly thank everyone who contributed to this list. There are some wonderful tracks here. There are 365 tracks identified (one for each day of the year). Every track you suggested will be included, with exception for multiple tracks, in the compilations that support this readers Poll choices.
It took some time to decide the best way to compile these tracks. I have settled on compiling them in the following manner. Year written and Artist (alphabetically , and Title alphabetical if more than one track by an artist in a given year).
When you hear some of the tracks put forward you will probably not be too surprised but I assure you that when you listen to the compilations created you will not be disappointed. The mix is terrific and anyone interested in music will enjoy these; your selections. I hope I have not omitted any of your choices, If I have please forgive me and please drop me a comment and I will generate a bonus CD accordingly.
Even though some artists were previously included in the two sets of Butterboy compilations all of your suggestions will be included in these new compilations. Where the same tracks were identified several times it will only be included once. (Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" was suggested 6 times...).
In whatever the order these appear they are all wonderful tracks that will enriched our listening pleasure. And what Gems they are. If you haven't heard a particular track, be prepared to hear something beautiful and rewarding. Again thank all for you support and contribution.
The following 15 x 25 track compilations + I Bonus CD, Readers Poll Selections represent your selections. Enjoy!
Note: The Contributing Artist description in the tagged files actually refers to the Songwriter. and the Artist is the performing artist.
A special mention to Aging Child, who came up with the initial idea. Thanks my friend. It was worth it.

Thanks,

You're welcome Mike,
DeleteHappy New Year.
Cheers.
I like this. Thanks for reposting for more to share. It shows we are a "village".
ReplyDeleteHi Lemonflag.
DeleteI like to think so.
Cheers.
What a wonderful collection - thanks BB and to all those who contributed.
ReplyDeleteHi Dr Robert.
DeleteThanks, is all to the readers who participated.
It's a great selection of tracks. Enjoy.
Cheers.
Great collection, thanks. Lucky it's not a leap year! Interesting the 'top' decade was the 70s (followed closely by the 60s admittedly). Was the 70s truely the greatest decade for music (as suggested by many) or a reflection of your audience, BB? The 70s was the decade when I started listening to and buying music seriously (6th form, university, working & too much drinking before marriage in 1980!). I find myself spending more of my time listening to 70s music nowadays! Thanks again, Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteHi John,
DeleteI don't know what the greatest decade for music was and I guess it depends on one's age and what their musical influences were. I think every decade has its share of fantastic tracks. I think the contributors came up with a magnificent set and a truly great listening experience. Enjoy.
Happy New Year.
Cheers.
Will be throwing away my 300lb Wurlitzer Juke Box today. I've found a great replacement. Thanks very much for this varied and eminently engaging compilation. What a century for music!
ReplyDeleteHi Richard Bock,
DeleteDon't get rid of the Wurlitzer...
This set is very enjoyable. Have fun listening to the readers picks.
Cheers.
Thanks for the re-up.Much appreciated.
