Send us a text Forty tracks. Forty years. One song per year, reshuffled again. Episode 3 moves from 1950 to 1989 by way of honky-tonk confessionals, jump-blues swagger, tape-loop miracles, devotional electronics, dub as architecture, and pop that accidentally invents the future. Some records were global hits, others barely escaped the room they were recorded in — but all of them say something about where music was, and where it was heading.

Welcome to the first episode of 40 Years of Schoolin’, a journey through four decades of recorded sound — one song for every year from 1950 to 1989. This isn’t a history lesson; it’s a wandering path through the strange, brilliant corners of 20th-century music — the hits, the misses, and the forgotten experiments that shaped what came next.
