Baroque Pop 2

This is part two of the Baroque Pop pick. More Beatles. More Beach Boys. More Zombies. More Left Banke. More Turtles. More Love. And some newer bands as well. It didn't just end in the 60's. I told you I would tell you about the cover. Originally, I got a classical music cassette from an old girlfriend. She played violin.  And she also liked some very cool music. Made some cool cassettes for each other and this one was called Go For Baroque. All baroque music of course. And I thought of that cassette when I made this one. So part of the cover is a scan of that cassette. Part is all digital design of mine. But the idea of notes and the words over it were hers. I always did like it. Coloring scheme stayed the same. Some day I will track down all of the original classical music she used (I have all the songs, but not all of the same conductors) and redo that one and post it up here. But that isn't now. Now is time to comment and leave your favorite Baroque Pop songs for me below.

Baroque Pop 1

I am not sure what song inspired me to make this pick, but I have loved this genre since before I knew it was a genre. I just knew I liked these songs. So most of these two volumes is just my favorites mixed in with some of the best of the genre according to multiple lists all over the internet, a couple of books and a magazine article on Baroque Pop. I love all these artists, although I might not have picked these exact songs as my very favorites, they are great examples of the genre. Part two will be tomorrow and I will tell you about the cover.
