As I start my 70th revolution around that giant yellow ball of fire in the sky, I was tempted to post an ode to that source of life with a song from Brits 93MillionMilesFromTheSun

(SONG 865)

Then I thought the song should recognize that it is, the longest day of the year today with “25 Hours” by the incomparable guitar whiz JOHNNY MARR 🇬🇧

Then I thought the obvious choice would have been a track from the opus “69 Love Songs” by STEPHIN MERRITT and his outfit MAGNETIC FIELDS 🇺🇸

(SONG 867)

But while those are three topical choices that fit the spirit of this special day, that wasn’t the way we roll at gwilliamrexunderground365!

[Ed. Note- No, that would be too easy and predictable for rex.]

I thought it fitting to start a new series called, you got it, 70 REVOLUTIONS AT 33 RPM.

Here is Chapter 1- containing the 70 artists that have most influenced me since my obsession with Indie Music commenced in 1979.

Enjoy almost 6 hours of personal faves…
