The M-List #2

So I've made another M-List! This time it's 'Soul for Mods'. Including artists such as Eddie Floyd, Frank Wilson and Otis Redding, the playlist compiles songs from the 'Mod' era of the mid 1960s. The songs would have been played in the likes of Wigan Casino and Manchester's Twisted Wheel, and the more mainstream of those may have been played in general clubs and dance halls across the UK.

Compiling Motown and Atlantic/Stax records' finest artists, the second M-List is bound to get you on your feet, or at least get your toes tapping!

The M-List #1

Okay, so I've decided that I am going to be uploading links to playlists that I have curated on 8tracks. I will aim to post one playlist per week under the moniker 'The M-List'. This week's M-List is based on music from Manchester.

I've always felt a strong connection to Manchester as I am a big fan of Manchester United and the first band to turn me on to guitar music was Oasis. Having discovered Oasis, by my Dad, I delved into their influences and peers to discover The Stone Roses, The Happy Mondays, The Beatles and more. It opened up a spiders web of indie bands and rock bands and I've never looked back!

I owe a lot of my current lifestyle to Oasis' music. They may not be the most technically gifted band in the world, but they will always have a little spot in my heart.

Here is the playlist, full of bands from the beautiful city of Manchester: http://8tracks.com/insidetheodyssey/manchester-la-la-la


P.S. If you look closely, you'll notice that one of the bands might not quite be from Manchester at all!

Enjoy!
