Spent the last couple of days assembling mixes of live music from 1974. You can check them out here, in six volumes. Download the bunch or just try out one or two.
Are they a mix of different artists playing live, or do each of them focus on a single band?
Let me see...I'm clocking it at about 36 artists in total across the set. Basically went through the archives and selected top live cuts from that year and tried to arrange them in some kind of coherent fashion.

Cool. I'll check some of it out.

Nick Cave - Premiere Musical Philosopher
Offline
I saw Cave talk about this in a separate interview and he gets it completely right. In that exchange he defers that maybe it's possible down the line AI will be able to make a Nick Cave song as good as he can. Maybe one day, it will even make a better song than he can ever do.....but that isn't the point. The point is not the product. The point is the process, not only for the artist, but also the listener. The awareness that what has been made came from somewhere. Was forged by the imperfect hands of a man. You remove that struggle to create, and all it is is a fucking song. Maybe pleasant to some degree, but ultimately irrelevant.

Can we get back to I Feel Fine?
It's a Beatles song I would probably consider as a Top 20 for me, except I always forget about it.
It deserves to be forgotten about less.

I tend to feel the exact same way about "No Reply". At least I Feel Fine is included on all of the compilations - 62-66, Greatest Hits, One, etc.

No Reply is just a case of straight up neglect. Stands up alongside any of their early singles. Those first three songs on (I think) that Beatles 65 odds and ends record (No Reply, Baby's In Black, I'm A Loser) are all killer. But No Reply in particular.
I Feel Fine was at least a hit. But there is an extra sense of historical neglect when even this wasn't enough to keep it in the limelight.

I don't know about influence on the Strokes, but this is an early one that no one ever talks about, but has always been a favorite of mine.
