I mentioned in a recent podcast about musical snobbery, and so I thought we might explore elements of this topic today. Why do many people consider the Classical genre to be the pinnacle of achievement? Why is pop music thought of less seriously? Is there an argument for a musical hierarchy? In this show, we will compare and contrast different genres, and consider the merits in each case. I will also leave you with a collection of 10 pop records which I rate as examples of high art within the genre.

Simon & Garfunkel: Kathy's Song

Joni Mitchell: Woman of Heart and Mind

Neil Young: Harvest Moon

Kate Bush: This Woman's Work

Bob Dylan: Don't Think Twice, It's Alright

Etta James: I'd Rather Go Blind

Fleetwood Mac: Sara

George Michael: Cowboys and Angels

Elton John: Someone Saved My Life Tonight

Dinah Washington: Mad About The Boy
