Thanks.But you forgot to mention the competition and prizes.
The 12 best lists sent to stletters@primediamags.com with the subject line "Cultural Literacy" each will win something from Stereophile's online store. Deadline: May 1, 2007.
In the context of the theory of cultural literacy, inclusion is not so much a matter of having been "influential" as of being content that today's content creators will assume their audiences are familiar with. So, a musician can be very influential on other musicians, but, if their stuff does not get "recycled," it is less important for cultural literacy.
Not the best explanation possible, but a pointer in the right direction.
Ironically enough, today's mail brought a pre-release review copy of a new SACD release of Rhapsody in Blue. Wish it had been here three months ago.
Cheers,
John M
