Alright, so what's this blog all about?
It's intended as a learning process. I want to know a lot more about music than I already do, I enjoy some history and research, so I figured I'd compile a list for myself of an A-Z of music for every decade. It's not intended as any kind of comprehensive guide - it's just me discovering music and welcoming anyone who's interested along for the ride!
I'm not a professional, just an interested person - so more of this will probably be historical comments and finding things that sound good rather than full on music critique.
Why YYZ?
The first name I thought of was XXY, because I intend on making the entry titles in that format. For example, 30A would be the A entry for the 1930's. Then I thought, why not shift it up one letter and make it more music related?
For those of you who don't get the reference: Rush – YYZ (Spotify link)
Your musical knowledge sucks.
Well, yeah, that's kind of the point. If you want to show me the error of my ways, feel free to leave something in the comments section - this is all about learning! If all goes well, I should know very little when I start at A, and roughly what I'm talking about by the time I get to Z in a decade.
Why would you put both Harold Arlen and Andrew Sterling under A?!
Because I like living on the edge.
