This song as the closer to the playlist was the plan all along. In all honesty I can't really give a true Top X songs, which is why I decided to chicken out and do my playlist the way I did. I feel hard enough for these dudes that I was having more trouble narrowing down songs than I had with other favorite groups like Radiohead and Opeth. It is a truly impressive feat they pulled off by calling their shot of doing 12 albums, sticking to it, and having their last album be as strong as this one is. Because that was the plan, it is a tad more emotional than ones before it with songs we've heard so far like Letter to My Son. I think the vibes on this one are a perfect end cap to their career and playlist because it's a fun tune and with the samples at the end the focus is on the two of them and their love for each other vs. shouting out family and friends so I went here. The section when Thes kicks in is some of my favorite of all their music, and it was one of the handful of songs that REALLY made me click with them and want to listen to everything. Perfect stuff for this middle age listener from a middle aged artist:

I'm only here for a short time so lets no confuse it
The goal is simple, yea everybody have fun
Let go of your anxiety you've already won
I mean we've only begun the night is young and we don't stop
So call me pinot grigio yo lets watch a flip or flop
Geez what kind of rapper watches hgtv
This one thes one and some can relate to me
A couple normal guys spreading love and some hiphop
Sincerely the P
P.s have fun and ya' don’t stop


Overall Sincerely, The P isn't my favorite album but it packs a punch as a planned retirement album, even more considering Double would be gone 2 years later. The Sound of a Memory is the last song they recorded and a great send off for the album and them as hip hop duo, but I personally liked a few others more. Others like Reach Out, Streetsweeper, and The Red Onion Wrap were some of the last waves of cuts as I painfully went from 100+ songs down to 31 for you all.

For anybody out there who liked even 1/2 the songs that they heard on my playlist, I can't encourage you enough to try a few albums. These cuts were painful, and could easily list 50 more songs in a playlist I think are every bit as good as what I ended up with on my playlist. The songs and references that clicked with me or made me laugh might be different than what clicks for you.

I focused on 9 albums of their 12, and I would personally rate them something like:

Tier 1: Carried Away, O.S.T, Fun DMC
Tier 2: Stepfather, Question in the Form of an Answer, Sincerely the P
Tier 3: The Next Step, Highlighter, 12 Step Program

Even that is nitpicking and those tiers are REALLY close. The minimum I would rate any of those 9 albums is 8/10. IMO all are top to bottom quality albums, and I can only think of one other band that has a 100% hit rate with me, and that is Opeth. That is quite the combo :lol:. As I posted above, who I have to thank is all of you for creating these weird music adventures and providing a reason to push myself to dig into things that have been hovering in the background for years, but I probably would have never gotten to if not for thinking of artists to present in this format. 2 years ago all I knew was barely one album in the background and now I have found what is probably a top 5-10 artist for me overall in a genre I seem to struggle with. I am not spoiling much as there is 0% chance they are showing up on the album countdown but Carried Away got a top 10 score for me, and I can't imagine not having these albums in my arsenal of albums going forward in life. Truly, thank you all!!!

Sincerely, KP. ;)
 
NOW, time to get serious and even more emotional. For anybody remotely interested in these dudes, I also recommend the tribute album that Thes put out after Double K's passing in 2021. I have listened to a few interviews with them as a duo, but mostly Thes One after Double K's death and they hit me like few musician's deaths have. He struggled for a couple years, but in 2023 he put out an album that was a tone poem and tribute to his best friend of decades. I will link the album and an interview that I recommend for anybody interested in their story and the thought process that he had behind the album below. This absolutely destroyed me when I was doing my initial research, which was the reason the I was dragging my feet to re-listen to it to try to form a decent post about it and them as a duo. Both the interview and album are a tough listen given the context, but I still recommend anyway.

Thes said in that interview that he doesn't know if he will rap again. What he was going for on this album was a story through music he and they loved of him and Double K's life together, from the first time they met through the night he died. He went so far (explained better in the interview above) as to imagine the night he passed and what was going on in the room. It's better from him, but I will still highlight a few things:

  • Double K had been calling around to a lot of people including Thes the week before he passed to check in with his friends. He called it the "homie check"
  • Thes was one of the last people he talked to. In that conversation, he was bustin' Thes' balls for selling off albums during covid. (Thes was trying to get some money from albums during that time and was selling crap online.
  • Thes wanted to surprise his best friend, so he packaged a bunch of those albums up and sent them overnight to Double K, including a sample that he had wanted for years right on top of the pile in the box.
  • Said box was delivered to Double K after he passed and was on the porch untouched as they took his body from the house.
  • On top of that, Thes tells a story that Mike fell asleep most nights to a P-Funk VHS tape from a Houston show (maybe @Uruk-Hai knows this??) most nights, and the night he passed - Jan 29th, 2021, was a night that lights were spotted over LA and he was going to joke with him that the Mothership came for him. What a weird coincidence , and the reason the penultimate song on said album is titled Midnight January 29th, The Mothership comes for Mike. Holy ****, :cry:
  • I can't get through even 10secs of this album before bawling my eyes out because the first thing you hear is Double K's mom talking about them, their relationship, and how it was inevitable.
Again, thank you all!!! , but also also F you all for making me this emotional about about a group, their story, and their albums. ;)

ETA: my daughter literally just came out as I posted all this with tears in my eyes, asking me if I was Ok. Yes, I am OK, but again thank you all for these weird music adventures and driving me to connect with music as strongly as I am I now. This is what it's all about....

Comments - From wiki

Atlantic Records representative Joe Galkin was interested in working with guitarist Johnny Jenkins and proposed to send him to a Stax studio in Memphis. Jenkins, who attended disc jockey Hamp Swain's "The Teenage Party", saw Redding's performance with the backing band, but he was not satisfied with their performance. Subsequently, he offered Redding to help winning the contest; with his help he won several weeks in a row.[5] On the way to a gig, Redding drove for Jenkins, as the latter did not possess a driver's license.[6] Jenkins performed with house band Booker T. & the M.G.'s. When that set ended early, Redding had the opportunity to perform. The first song was "Hey Hey Baby", but studio chief Jim Stewart thought it sounded too much like Little Richard. The next song was "These Arms of Mine", which featured Jenkins on guitar, Steve Cropper on piano, Lewie Steinberg on bass, Booker T. Jones on organ and Al Jackson Jr. on drums

When Redding performed the song "These Arms of Mine" during a session, featuring Jenkins on guitar and Cropper on piano, producer Jim Stewart praised his performance and noted, "Everybody was fixin' to go home, but Joe Galkin insisted we give Otis a listen. There was something different about [the ballad]. He really poured his soul into it.

The performance of the latter song was highly praised; Jim Stewart was so impressed that he offered Redding a contract to record for Stax Records of Memphis, Tennessee, which Redding signed soon afterward. "These Arms of Mine" became Redding's first-released Stax Records single, with "Hey Hey Baby" on its B-side. After a series of unnoticed numbers, the song "These Arms of Mine" became Redding's first successful single and sold around 800,000 copies.

Next Up - FIN
 
The #2s was a fantastic playlist. I really had trouble thinning this down.

Selected Favorites:
Long Train Running - Doobie Brothers. My #1 from them.
Sissyneck - Beck
Stranger - Shack (/Michael Head)
Forget Me Not - Bad English (/John Waite)
Try A Little Tenderness - Otis Redding
The Tender Name - Cornershop
Alone Again Or - Love
Save It For Later - The English Beat
Captain Jack - Billy Joel
America - Neil Diamond

Small spotlight:

The Smashing Pumpkins were one of the bands I knew best coming in, and thus were more likely to be “saved” for near the top of the countdown. And so I’m rewarded with “Soma”, a slow, introspective song that kicks into high gear about halfway through, following up with a piercing guitar solo.

ALBUM #1: SEA CHANGE
SONG: IT'S ALL IN YOUR MIND

As if I need an emotional 1-2 tonight, but here it is. 0 Surprise that Sea Change is my favorite Beck album. This one is a spoiler for the album countdown, but it got a top 5 score. I ****in' love this album, and this is my favorite song on the album. Once the cello kicks in I am forever hooked. A beautiful, sad, haunting song that nearly brings me to tears whenever I hear it. I know I keep saying I don't pay too much attention to lyrics, but here is an exception that always has stuck with me. One of the shortest songs on the album, but the chorus and 3rd verse has always hit me hard:

And I wanted to be
And I wanted to be
I wanted to be
Your good friend

[Verse 3]
Well, you're all scared and stiff
A sick, stolen gift
And the people you're with
They're all scared and stiff


NEXT: the bar is set really high for me now with MAD31 artists. I need at least 9 albums I love and if not a 100% album hit rate, it has to be damn near that percentage. Not sure if Aimee Mann get to that level, but minimum she gets a 13 of 14 score with me. Time to start painfully narrowing down these songs....

Poison Oak- Bright Eyes
from I'm Wide Awake and It's Morning (2005)

"Poison Oak" is a song Oberst wrote about his gay cousin, who killed himself. This, to me, encompasses what Conor Oberst is as an artist. Amazing, deeply personal lyrics, performed with such great emotion. The song is like a eulogy. Just a sad, but beautiful song.

Thanks for listening... I hope some of you found a connection with at least 1 or 2 songs.

thanks @Zegras11 and @KarmaPolice These music countdowns threads have become something that I look forward to.
 
Smashing Pumpkins #1

Song: Disarm
Album: Siamese Dream

Summary: Disarm was the third single from Siamese Dream and to this day it gets me every single time I hear it. A great memory was seeing the Pumpkins in 2019 where Billy opened the show playing Disarm on his own with only an acoustic guitar. It was an amazing experience hearing it played in a pitch dark stadium that was silenced by such a simple performance.

Billy: “The reason I wrote Disarm was because I didn't have the guts to kill my parents, so I thought I'd get back at them through song. And rather than have an angry, angry, angry violent song I'd thought I'd write something beautiful and make them realize what tender feelings I have in my heart, and make them feel really bad for treating me like ****.”

Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
 
1. When I See You Smile (Bad English, 1989)

And so we end the countdown on a high note. When I See You Smile reached #1 on the American and Canadian charts.

Full writing credits go not to anyone in the band and rather to behind-the-scenes Svengali of M-AD countdowns, Diane Warren, who has written for alums Chicago, Whitney Houston, Meat Loaf, The Pointer Sisters, Susanna Hoffs, and new members Belinda Carlisle, John Waite and Bad English, and the Doobie Brothers' own Michael McDonald.

Despite a second album that Rolling Stone preferred to the first, Bad English broke up and John returned to performing solo, a welcome change as he stated in later interviews that he was uncomfortable with the band's "corporate rock" image. From 1995-2011, he worked sporadically but also steadily, releasing 6 albums in that time. As these all came out during a period of change in my life (namely being 'born again', getting married and raising a family), my priorities had shifted away from keeping track of my favorite musical acts and I didn't know about any of these albums until researching this list. TBH, if you've listened to his songs from this countdown, you've gotten the gist of his work and a fair assessment of this period of his material is that it's typical John Waite, low-ceiling/high floor quality honest music that only moves the needle for his most ardent fans.

He still tours to this day, and fans of his from back in the day still enjoy his performances.

As a bonus track, here is his cover of a song few people would expect from him.

Closing thoughts:

My original intention for this countdown was very ambitious; I was going to add some flavor to the write ups by describing what my life was like during the time each of the songs on the countdown came out, but I quickly found that was too time-consuming and honestly superfluous to spirit of the countdown, so I dropped that after a few songs, and instead let he truth of John's music speak for itself. He has more talent than many, to be sure, but his career didn't lie about the quality of that talent, as his biggest songs were always written by someone else, while the better ones he wrote were enjoyable yet forgettable at the same time. Ultimately, he punched above his weight class, though I'm not sure he's ever recognized it.

Anyway, I'm humbled by the passion and knowledge of the write-ups and grateful to you all for sharing. I was reminded yet again of how little of the music world I've explored. I don't know how many songs from these lists I have added to my Spotify playlist, but I know that whenever one of them plays, I'm glad I added it.

Finally, thanks as always to @Zegras11 and @KarmaPolice for all the legwork. You guys are the engine that makes these threads go. :thanks:

1. A House Is Not a Motel
Album: Forever Changes (1967)

I bought Forever Changes based on reputation without having heard a note of it. "A House Is Not a Motel" was the song that grabbed me first and has remained my favorite from Love ever since.

The hardest-rocking song on Forever Changes begins with an insistent 12-string acoustic guitar riff and a vocal melody from Arthur Lee that conveys gravitas. The bass and drums propel the song briskly and an electric guitar shows up after Lee ends the second verse with a scream. After the lyrics are done, there is a drum break followed by a glorious dual-guitar battle, with Lee interjecting random vocal noises throughout it. (I don't know if lead guitarist John Echols played one part or both, but either way it's one of his greatest performances.)

The song is one of Lee's most prominent antiwar tunes, with the lines about blood being mixed with mud referring to people dying in Vietnam. Some have interpreted the "motel" of the title as being the scary world at large, where awful things like war happen, and the "house" as being the sanctuary from it, possibly an actual church. I see overtones of Lee's personal demons creeping in as well. He was deathly afraid of being assassinated by racists; "at my house I've got no shackles" likely refers to protection from that.

At my house I've got no shackles
You can come and look if you want to
In the halls you'll see the mantles
Where the light shines dim all around you
And the streets are paved with gold
And if someone asks you
You can call my name

You are just a thought that someone
Somewhere somehow feels you should be here
And it's so for real to touch
To smell, to feel, to know where you are here
And the streets are paved with gold
And if someone asks you
You can call my name
I hear you calling my name, yeah
All right now

By the time that I'm through singing
The bells from the schools of wars will be ringing
More confusions, blood transfusions
The news today will be the movies for tomorrow

And the water's turned to blood
And if you don't think so
Go turn on your tub

And if it's mixed with mud
You'll see it turn to gray
And you can call my name
I hear you call my name

"A House Is Not a Motel" was the B-side to "Alone Again Or" on its initial release (but not its 1970 reissue), so when I took "A House Is Not a Motel" in the jukebox draft, it meant I got "Alone Again Or" as well.

Musikexpress named "A House Is Not a Motel" one of its 700 greatest songs of all time, and it was also named to "Best songs of the '60s" lists from Uncut, Treble and Hipersonica. Robert Plant, a huge fan of Love, has covered their songs quite a bit over his career, but he plays "A House Is Not a Motel" most frequently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3lqnAXTaQg. Michael Head's Shack also covered it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZxAesC7ocw, as did Yo La Tengo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlhiuNiVyVI, The Autumn Defense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgT5nzTSDMk and The Raconteurs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSi7KJ2nGV8. As well as a bunch of bands I've never heard of.

Not surprisingly, given its importance in the band's catalog and the guitar fireworks that happen in it, "A House Is Not a Motel" is one of Love's most-performed songs, even though there are no known live performances of it before 1992. It was played at both of my shows, and I remember being bemused at my 1994 Asbury Park show that Lee played tambourine and left all of the guitar work to Das Damen's guitarist. It continues to be performed by The Love Band with John Echols, including at their shows this spring. My recommendation is the 1996 version linked below.

Thanks for indulging me and I hope I have made a good case for the brilliance of Arthur Lee and Love.

Here is what happened at my two Love shows.

The Fast Lane, Asbury Park, NJ 3/5/94

Arthur Lee was backed by members of Das Damen. There is no official setlist posted anywhere on the internet, so this is the best I can do from memory. I remember he only played three songs from Forever Changes and they were all together toward the end. I remember he opened with "7 and 7 Is" and closed with "Stand Out" (by request). I remember hearing "Your Mind and We Belong Together," "Singing Cowboy" and "Everybody's Gotta Live" for the first time, as they were not in print in the '80s and '90s.

Lee was backed by members of Baby Lemonade. Unlike the 1994 show, Forever Changes was featured prominently, with 9 of its 11 tracks performed. (Lee would do the entire album in order the following year in Europe.) He also seemed to be in a much better mood than he was in 1994. At this show, the band performed "August" for the first time since 1975.

The English Beat Family Tree #1

Mirror in the Bathroom

Artist - The English Beat
Album - I Just Can’t Stop It (1980)

I mentioned with my last writeup that the tiebreaker that pushed this to the #1 spot was that to me this song was one of the defining New Wave songs of the 80s and one of my favorites of the era.

Everyone always thought the song was about cocaine, and Wakeling used to complain that people (especially in the US) would always come up to him and say this song was their “favorite” with a wink and a nose tap.

Wakeling actually wrote this when he got up to work one morning after having way too much to drink the night before. He was looking at himself in the bathroom mirror questioning how he got to that point - locked in the bathroom with only himself and his thoughts and the mirror facing back at him.

The bass makes this song for me, but the sax and guitar play anre awesome too.

Echoing this as well, thanks so much! This was also my favorite round so far and I really appreciate being exposed to new artists. New playlist days are a bright spot as I am fortunate enough to have a job where I can crank them up. Looking forward to the next round, whenever that might be.

I will also be doing a final post of some Pumpkins songs that might make other's lists but missed mine.

Some have interpreted the "motel" of the title as being the scary world at large, where awful things like war happen, and the "house" as being the sanctuary from it, possibly an actual church. I see overtones of Lee's personal demons creeping in as well. He was deathly afraid of being assassinated by racists; "at my house I've got no shackles" likely refers to protection from that.

At my house I've got no shackles
You can come and look if you want to
In the halls you'll see the mantles
Where the light shines dim all around you
And the streets are paved with gold
And if someone asks you
You can call my name

You are just a thought that someone
Somewhere somehow feels you should be here
And it's so for real to touch
To smell, to feel, to know where you are here
And the streets are paved with gold
And if someone asks you
You can call my name
I hear you calling my name, yeah
All right now

By the time that I'm through singing
The bells from the schools of wars will be ringing
More confusions, blood transfusions
The news today will be the movies for tomorrow

And the water's turned to blood
And if you don't think so
Go turn on your tub

And if it's mixed with mud
You'll see it turn to gray
And you can call my name
I hear you call my name

"A House Is Not a Motel" was the B-side to "Alone Again Or" on its initial release (but not its 1970 reissue), so when I took "A House Is Not a Motel" in the jukebox draft, it meant I got "Alone Again Or" as well.

Musikexpress named "A House Is Not a Motel" one of its 700 greatest songs of all time, and it was also named to "Best songs of the '60s" lists from Uncut, Treble and Hipersonica. Robert Plant, a huge fan of Love, has covered their songs quite a bit over his career, but he plays "A House Is Not a Motel" most frequently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3lqnAXTaQg. Michael Head's Shack also covered it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZxAesC7ocw, as did Yo La Tengo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlhiuNiVyVI, The Autumn Defense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgT5nzTSDMk and The Raconteurs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSi7KJ2nGV8. As well as a bunch of bands I've never heard of.

Not surprisingly, given its importance in the band's catalog and the guitar fireworks that happen in it, "A House Is Not a Motel" is one of Love's most-performed songs, even though there are no known live performances of it before 1992. It was played at both of my shows, and I remember being bemused at my 1994 Asbury Park show that Lee played tambourine and left all of the guitar work to Das Damen's guitarist. It continues to be performed by The Love Band with John Echols, including at their shows this spring. My recommendation is the 1996 version linked below.

Thanks for indulging me and I hope I have made a good case for the brilliance of Arthur Lee and Love.

What a great 1-2 punch to open Forever Changes. Those would've been my #1 and #2 songs by Love, probably in the reverse order you listed them, but it's close.

Yo La Tengo does a nice cover of this song. I don't know if we are choosing our MAD6 artists here, but, unless I missed someone else choosing them, I'd like to rank Yo La Tengo songs for the next round.

Hey Yambag, why isn't "X" on your playlist?

Here are some songs that I strongly considered but for reasons given, did not make it. These are in chronological order:

-Rhinoceros from Gish: Widely considered a favorite not only from Gish, but overall. For whatever reason, it doesn’t do much for me. I feel it’s a bit long, repetitive and kinda meh.

-Hummer from Siamese Dream: Another highly regarded song by fans. For me, I maybe unfairly group this with Mayonaise and Soma, two of my absolute favorites, and felt it just doesn’t compare.

-Starla from Pisces Iscariot: I really try not to include overly long songs on these playlists unless really deserving. I absolutely love this song, but it’s also a bit reminiscent of Drown to me.

-Here is No Why from Mellon Collie: I found out this is one of KP’s favorites during our discussion about creating a 1 Disc version of the albums. To be perfectly honest, I have never liked this song as it seemed too simple and different sounding for me.

-The Aeroplane Flies High from the Boxed Set: Simply amazing live, only reason I did not add it was as mentioned before, I try to limit long songs on these playlists.

-Eye from the Lost Highway Soundtrack: Just missed the cut (I kept moving it down as I tweaked the list). Very different than anything before it and a sign of what was to come with Adore.

-Ava Adore from Adore: Great song, but imo not worthy of top 31

-Try, Try, Try from Machina: Another that was in consideration, but eventually slipped off the list

-Edin from Aghori Mhori Mei: I think if I had more time with it, this might have made the list, a return to form and was amazing live.

A favorite of mine that hasn't been mentioned is For Martha. The guitar parts are absolutely haunting.
 
Ava Adore would have been in my top 5

As mentioned up thread, this is my number 1 for Corsten, it's his breakthrough single (under the System F name), created a huge amount of hype at the time, I don't think it was his highest charting track when push comes to shove, but it's universally regarded as a seminal piece of trance. I get this isn't the most loved genre here, but if you listen to one track I've picked, make it this one

MA-D Round 5: Metallica
#1: Fade To Black
Album: Ride the Lightning (1984)

(Youtube version) Fade To Black (Remastered)
(live version) Metallica - Fade To Black Live Moscow 1991 HD
(live version2) Metallica: Fade to Black (Lincoln, NE - September 6, 2018)

Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone

—
There’s a temptation to say that I put “Fade to Black” and “Hit the Lights” in their places strictly out of theming. Well, it’s pretty true for the latter. But “Fade to Black” is sincerely my favorite Metallica song, and probably has been most of the time since I first heard it. It’s hard to pin down why, for more than one reason.

Though, to delve into that, I should talk about the song. So yeah, trigger warning as much as you need it, but in the song, the narrator is committing suicide. They don’t give any particular reasons, seemingly with nothing to blame but themselves. Still, there’s a sense of desperation, of loneliness in lines like “no one but me can save myself”. Though by the time we reach that point in the song “it’s too late”, and soon after the narrator gives his goodbye as the last lyrics.

Then guitars happen. “Fade to Black” is a rare song with an instrumental beginning and end. The start is soft, subdued and emotional, taking up about 1:30 of the (studio version of the) song. The latter’s mostly another incredible, powerful solo that lasts the last 2 minutes or so.

So I want to say there’s simply a connection here with me. But I don’t want it thought that it ties to the suicide part. I mean, I was depressed as a teen like pretty much everyone else. Heck, even as an adult, intrusive thoughts happen. But it never got (nearly) THAT bad for me. I mean, the song was inspired largely by the band having their equipment stolen, with the sense of loss and helplessness being an universal emotion. And something it’s the strongest emotion we have. But other times, we press on. Metallica went on from that. From losing Burton. From more problems that I have time or space to list. Call that hope if you will, or determination. There will always be struggles. May you always find a way to keep on keepin’ on.

Anyway, thanks for being part of the journey. I’m sure it was a mixed bag. I don’t know if it was as high as the 4th favorite (out of 5) M-AD list from me for some of you, but it’s not like it didn’t get love. Plus regardless, it was something I needed to do, given how some of these albums and songs are ingrained in me. Probably should’ve done back in M-AD #2, but didn’t. Ah well. I’ll get a chance to talk about some of these albums in another thread.

Thanks to Zegras and KarmaPolice as always. Thanks for listening. For those wary, sorry that the playlist is 4 hours and 15 minutes. For fans, sorry that it’s that short. Going 31-1, but preceded by my last 10 out:

Eric Clapton #1

Derek & the Dominos - Crossroads

"Cross Road Blues" (commonly known as "Crossroads") is a song written by American blues artist Robert Johnson. He performed it solo with his vocal and acoustic slide guitar in the Delta blues style. This song is about the bluesman's struggle, invoking the image of standing at a crossroads — a symbol of choices and desperation. The song has become part of the Robert Johnson mythology as referring to the place where he sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for musical genius. This is based largely on folklore of the American South that identifies a crossroads as the site where Faustian bargains can be made, as the lyrics do not contain any references to Satan.

Johnson recorded two takes of the song. One was released in 1937 as a single that was heard mainly in the Mississippi Delta area. The second, which reached a wider audience, was included on "King of the Delta Blues Singers," a compilation album of some of Johnson's songs released in 1961 during the American folk music revival. Johnson’s original version was slower and more sorrowful, but Cream’s version injects it with a rock 'n' roll energy and a speedy, fiery delivery.

In 1986, Johnson's "Cross Road Blues" was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in the "Classic of Blues Recording – Single or Album Track" category. Writing for the foundation, Jim O'Neal said that "Regardless of mythology and rock 'n' roll renditions, Johnson's record was indeed a powerful one, a song that would stand the test of time on its own." In 1998, it received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award to acknowledge its quality and place in recording history.

In early 1966, while still with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Clapton adapted the song for a recording session with an ad hoc studio group, dubbed Eric Clapton and the Powerhouse. Clapton wanted to record Albert King's "Crosscut Saw", but producer Joe Boyd preferred to adapt an older country blues song. Their attention turned to Robert Johnson songs and Boyd proposed "Crossroads", though Clapton favored "Traveling Riverside Blues". For the recording, Clapton developed an arrangement that drew on both songs. This version was slower and more blues-based than Cream's version.

With Cream, Clapton envisioned it as a rock song. He simplified Johnson's guitar line and set it to a straight eighth-note or rock rhythm. He and Bruce on bass continuously emphasize the riff throughout the song to give it a strong and regular metric drive combined with Baker's drumming. Clapton does not adapt Johnson's slide guitar technique or open tuning; instead he follows the electric guitar soloing approach of B.B. King and Albert King. This is widely thought of as Clapton’s best Cream-era guitar solo performance.

I chose Derek & the Dominos' performance of this song from their 1970 "Live at the Fillmore" album. It s widely regarded as one of the greatest live performances in rock history, and justifiably so. Clapton’s guitar work is legendary, and it helped solidify his status as one of the greatest guitarists in the world. Clapton continues to be associated with the song, and has used the name for the Crossroads Centre he founded on Antigua to help people recover from addictions, and the Crossroads Guitar Festivals he organized to raise money for it.
