Mulligan Stew Jan 11th 2020- 50 years of #1 Albums-Neil Peart

Episode Notes

Ran across a headline that reminded us/me that we have just gone through a music time warp.

As 2019 turned into 2020 and a new decade ..it also became 50 years since 1969 became 1970.

Here’s a list of artists and albums who made the transition from one decade to another. FIFTY  FREAKING YEARS AGO.

And they didn’t just transition – they became #1 albums that changed lives and made history.

The biggest was The Beatles  Abbey Road – #1 for 11 straight weeks

Led Zeppelin 2 – #1 for 6 weeks

Simon and Garfunkel – Bridge over troubled water 10 weeks at #1

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young – Deja Vu #1 for a week

CCR – Cosmo’s Factory – Their 4^th #1 album.  In a Row

Santana – Abraxas was #1 for 6 weeks

Paul McCartney had a #1 solo album for 3 weeks

And The Beatles had Let it Be at #1 for 4 weeks.

It was an amazing time in music.

The Stew will be saluting and playing all those albums and more Saturday 5-7.
