Come on AJ, loosen up. Unlistenable? Pah! Take it on its own terms - manufactured pop with faux folkie touches, often played by some of the best sessions and jazz guys of the time and based around terrific, well-crafted pop songs.
Faux Folk Hall Of Fame
NCM - Green, Green
Rooftop Singers - Walk Right In (boy, they sure made Gus Cannon's twilight years pretty easygoing ...)
Kingston Trio - MTA
Gale Garnett - We'll Sing In The Sunshine
Trini Lopez - Lemon Tree
The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You
Verdell Smith - Tar And Cement
Barry McGuire - Eve Of Destruction
Serendipity Singers - Beans In My Ears
The Cyrckle - Red Rubber Ball
Springfields - Silver Threads & Golden Needles
Johnny Rivers - Where Have All The Flowers Gone
Sandy Posey - Single Girl

God bless you Kenny! On the subject of sublime folkpop I might add Mammas and the Papas (not all of it admittedly!), the Weavers (a little more folk than pop), the early Simon and Garfunkel. Kingston Trio I only heard for the first time last year, after hearing them bagged endlessly for many years, most probably by other people who had never heard them....
my list for this week:
Abdullah Ibrahim and orch african suite - bit of a disappointment, really
Muddy Waters original chess recordings wow
Mingus Ah Um still one of my all time favourite jazz records
Hendrix Are You Experienced
Ade Monsborough Recorder in Ragtime and special on 3CR - RIP Ade, and thank you!!!
Australian birdcalls
Music of the intifada (traditional palestinian music) as moral support for the much abused people of Lebanon. Please speak up people!!!
Miles Milestones
Ellington Latin American Suite

Just heard Chindamo on Dig jazz, had forgot just how brilliant he is, got out Joy of Standards and Good Lttle Ploy, the guy should have a much higher international regonition than he does so far. Amazing dexterity, brilliant technique, phenomonal harmonisation what a blast, Through away your preconceptions and open your ears.

Apart from technique and harmony, what about groove, sound and interaction? These are always at the top of my list. But whatever rocks your boat...

Captain, like the guy said, open your ears and throw away your preconceptions. You'll find those things there too.

That's cool I just find that usually the music that has 'great technique and harmony' is usually lacking in those other areas, the aspects that attract people to Jazz in the first place.
Once somebody told me that they like Dave Douglas because 'he plays cool chord substitutions...' wtf?

I can dig a cool substitution.
... of course, there are plenty of other reasons to like Dave Douglas, if that's what you're getting at.
