And WHY?? \u2013 Part 1: History and the 1950s\nFEATURED SONG:\nThe Drop \u2013 \u201cClassical Space Jazz 1\u201d (from Long Held Grudges)\nSTREAM THE FULL ALBUM\n\nThis week I\u2019m kicking off another multi-part series. It\u2019ll focus on the album as art form, and give you my favorites and other notable albums, decade by decade.\nSince this first part will focus mostly on the 1950s, and there were comparatively fewer albums in those decades, I\u2019ll also talk about the history of the album \u2013 why & how it came about, and why it matters.\nAre you an album fan? Or do you prefer to listen to single songs or playlists? Does music hit you differently when absorbed in album form? What are some of your favorite albums from the 1950s? And/or do you know of any pre-album albums from earlier decades? Discuss dammit!\n~~~\n*intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High"\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
