This group is about music from 1946 through 1963, and flooding it with
posts about music from 1964 is annoying. Even though I love 1960s
music, and even though the group that was established to discuss it is
dead, it still doesn't belong here. Unless we all vote to include it? I don't know.

And what is the significant difference in sound between the recently
posted 1964 music and releases from 1962-63?
Or are you annoyed because you're an unashamed pedant? 🙂------------
Have you considered that this could be a very temporary phenomena,-------------
inspired by Roger's post titled "Slightly OT - Fave 20 Femmes From
1964"?
... I think the cutoff should be 1962 rather than 1963...
As a reminder, labels Tamla, Motown, and the group The Satintones-----------
go back to 1959.
I vote to include any music that people want to talk about. Especially
from 1964. There are lots of great records from 1964 by artists that
were a big part of the 1947 to 1963 scene. Although I think the cutoff
should be 1962 rather than 1963. And also other later records by artists
that we discuss here.
I mean, do we really want to stop people from bringing up "Bring It On
Home" by Sonny Boy Williamson or "Sally Was A Good Old Girl" by Fats
Domino because they came out after 1963?

I'm not really an active member here anymore, so I don't think I have a
vote. But I will offer a thought.
I think we have all known each other too long to have "rules" about what
we can say. The point of rules is establishing a culture, and no
newcomers are coming in who will need to have the group explained to
them.
Perhaps, after 30+ years, we are seeing a tendency for our conversation topics to spread. But there will also be a countervailing tendency, that
the topics we all have in common -- the topics that bought us here --
will always end up being the most fruitful.
The two opposing tendencies will find an equilibrium. Trust where
equilibrium lands.

For what it's worth I sometimes include songs from 1964 on ROOTS ROCK
RADIO. I don't mean the British Invasion, but songs that I think fit in
with the other stuff I play. 1964 produced plenty of good surf music,
girl groups, late period doo-wop, blues, early soul....
Which is my roundabout way of saying, I don't mind that stuff being
discussed here within reason.

To me surf music fits in more with the later stuff than with 50s music.
I don't know anybody who grew up in the 50s who is a surf music fan.
It's favored more by the people who like the Beatles and Stones and
Kinks and stuff than by people who like Fats Domino, Joe Turner, Elvis,
Jerry Lee and Little Richard.
