I was surprised to note that in the description of Nat Wills' "No
News...", reference is made to the servant and his master. I don't recall that
was the relationship at all. He was a wealthy man with a hired servant.
Period.

Jim has a good point. Why is the Who in the LOC registry? Are there any
Ventures, Seeds, Strawberry
Alarmclock, Hourglass? Also, as much as I love the Who, they've freely
admitted that their early
stuff was heavily copped from James Brown, Motown, Stax, Duke/Peacock,
etc. Why not put the original
source material in the Registry first? The Who album that belongs in the
all the registries is
"Tommy" and perhaps "Quadrophenia." Those were truly something new and
different.

This is par for course, really. The date for Brown's Live at the
Apollo was wrong before.
Also, any one want to place a bet on how many more British,
Boomer-idol rock stars get theirs before an American punk or metal
band? I find it fascinating that there's plenty of proto- and
post-punk, but no punk. Kinda want to go to Vegas and place a bet
that we'll see "Stairway to Heaven" on the registry before "Blitzkrieg
Bop," "Nervous Breakdown," or "Master of Puppets" (or even "Shout at
the Devil").
