Perfect Examples

[jennythereader]

So what songs do you guys point to and say "This song is a perfect example of what I mean when I say (whatever musical genre)?"

My examples are:
"Turn, Turn, Turn" by The Byrds; Folk-Rock
"Pastures of Plenty" and "This Land is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie; Folk
"They Can't Take That Away From Me" by Ella Fitzgerald; Jazz
"Sing, Sing, Sing" by Benny Goodman; Jazz
"Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix; Psychedelic Rock
"Twist and Shout" by The Beatles; Rock

There are others of course, but these are the ones that are at the top of my head at the moment.

You should definitely check out Pandora (http://www.pandora.com) then. The simplest way to use it is to tell them a song or performer that you like, and then give the player appropriate feedback as songs come up.

I should give it another shot at some point. I kept getting involved in other stuff, and forgetting to give the feedback it needed.

It does work best if you're doing something right there on the computer.
