Ep. 43: The "Play Me 5" Game - Bob Seger
from RockPopandRoll · host rockforward
We play just five songs from an artist's catalog - from all the albums, the singles, the live albums. The music game is called "Play Me 5". Five songs that do two things: 1. Give a representation of the artist - the musician - the band - the singer. 2. Find songs that reveal a bit of the magic of the performance or the musicians. Or both. Can that work? I don't know. That's the idea and intent. Can we hear a band or performer in five songs, and find the reason - a bit of the understanding - as to why they are who they are and why they matter in the rock and roll continuum? That’s it. Let's go. We are going to start with Bob Seger. Why does Seger, a journeyman rock and roll singer from Ann Arbor, Michigan, and by extension, Detroit, hold a place in rock and roll history? Five songs. It's not enough, but that's the rule. Agree or disagree as you please. Just turn up the rock and roll as you do.
