MR. KISS KISS BANG BANG |

THE BRITISH INVASION |
|
| The British saved Rock'n'Roll. The usual rap goes that there is a gap between the implosion of the first Rock'n'Roll stars (1959) and the phoenix nova of The Beatles (1963). In this pop wasteland,... Posted by TYM STEVENS on Sun, 02 Dec 2007 07:58:00 PST |

YOU DONT OWN ME: Part 1, The Uprising of the Girl Groups |

| "Girl Groups" really means girls grouped together because they are girls. It's nice for alliteration but not illumination. It's too often a quiet dismissal, trivializing female pop as 'teenage trash'... Posted by TYM STEVENS on Sun, 02 Dec 2007 07:54:00 PST |

SHES SO FINE: Part 2, The Eternal Influence of the Girl Groups |

The Pedigree of PETER GUNN |

The Legacy of LOUIE LOUIE |
|
| Sometimes a single song is the refrain. You can group music by genres or eras, but one song can tie all of them together. Or even one riff. In 1957, Richard Berry created one of those. His ode to Jama... Posted by TYM STEVENS on Sat, 01 Sep 2007 04:07:00 PST |

Bo Diddley |
