Definitely a major undertaking with some of those acts!

Could also have been tough to keep going if you'd maybe decided you didn't enjoy some of the material, perhaps if they'd had a patchy career. Some good broad choices.

My recommendations for 2023 would be Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix.

For Hendrix I'd urge you to include listening to the posthumous release First Rays of the New Rising Sun. Although he died in 1970 and this wasn't released till 1997, it's basically a compilation of the material he'd been working on and had intended as his almost complete fourth studio album. The tracks are even presented in the sequence he'd been planning. The delay was mainly down to legal problems with who owned the intellectual property rights.

Would also add Villanova Junction. It's fantastic.

I’m a deadhead, but a lot of their albums suck. Live shows is where it’s at.
