Listeners respond: what songs would you preserve in the Library of Congress?
Yesterday, we told you about the Library of Congress’s latest list of “significant” recordings that it will preserve. Bill Cosby, Tupac, Little Richard, and Patti Smith all made the cut, among others, but we wanted to know what you thought. If you were in charge of making the Library’s list, what songs would you choose?
Takeaway listeners had lots of creative ideas?and a few of them even show off some hidden talents.
