MusicThatDoesn'tSuck
Description:

List is Modified Often.

This list features honest, authentic, genuine, real folk music of every kind, such as Metal, Punk, Big Band Swing, Blues, Funk, Reggae, Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Bluegrass, Bebop, Hardbop, drum & bugle corps, international, indigenous & the classical masters, of course.

It’s frustrating some need links, so it’s nice if you add them.






If you're reading this & are currently feeling like a lost kitten if you there's no download to what you want, send me a pm & I'll help. May or may not have it, but it doesn't hurt to private message. I really will share & make a post just for you.

Sometimes (but not always) the only accepted link providers for this domain are Archive.org. Vimeo, Dailymotion & the accursed corporate yootoob. If perchance that’s the way it is, then use your search options & good luck to you in finding treasure from the playlists.

This list isn’t a portal to a toobsite. If you dig thase sites, go there. Use their search to find what you want & stay. This list is for actual downloadable movies & tv shows. Videos that cannot be found easily. This list doesn’t exist to generate traffic for invalid sites like that. Care is given that anything listed is connected to a DOWNLOADABLE post.


Toob site link hijacking should be disabled since linking to a toob site will guarantee that posts from a valid DOWNLOAD host will NEVER appear on the front page- preventing fans from knowing when brand new posts are made. It's not rocket science. Linking to toob sites is wrong.

This website is currently accepting link requests, so now’s the time to go the forum & do that. If links aren’t found here, then DuckDuckGo is your friend. Or try Mojeek. It’s new. It has it’s own bots, so unlike DDG or Brave, it’s not a front-end. It’s a TRUE search engine.

Archive.org is also a good place to dig around for stuff. Playlists like this will have some links, but are also useful as a reference, not unlike IMDB or TVmaze.







Due to the rarity of availability of actual real music, all other non-corporate sincere world musics that never got equal time in the press, radio, tv, etc are added when found, including films about musicians & music or where music figures into the film in a significant way or is made by a musician. ♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫

There’s not a lot of good stuff to be found. The best is mostly just not available. Yet for what can be found, it’ll be listed.


This list is fun to sort by Date to group musical eras, and by Title too.

It’s important to say what is NOT here just as much as what is: Ergo, if you’re looking for the heartless, soulless, corporate cookie-cutter assembly line formulaic copycat filth assembled on a computer in a board room with “focus group” data for trashy tv shows that can be found all over Westernized media- or the abomination known as 80’s Hair Pop, or False Metal, where they wear their instruments rather than play them- that’s not here.


Authentic Metal of the 80’s was Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Sabbath, Venom, Bathory, Kreator, Coroner, Vader, Sodom, Deicide, Slayer, Nuclear Assault, Sacred Reich, Dark Angel, Death Angel, Voivod, Death, C.O.C., Napalm Death, Pentagram, D.R.I. Metallica before Cliff died, etc. And NOTHING that was on radio or mtv- NOT that cheap manufactured Hollywood boyband hairspray crap. Not here.


The only jazz recognized here is SWING- not that bland awful out of tune elevator muzak junk that calls itself jazz by stealing the name- You can call it jazz all you want, that doesn’t make it jazz.


IT DON’T MEAN A THING IF IT AIN’T GOT THAT SWING! Artists sought after here are the likes of Louis Prima, Louis Armstrong, Louis Jordan, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Ziggy Elman, Harry James, Tex Beneke, Marion Hutton, Martha Tilton, Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey, Edyth Wright, Lionel Hampton, Gene Krupa, Teddy Wilson, Snakes Powell, Buddy Rich, Louis Belson, Jo Stafford, Kay Star, Chick Webb, Peggy Lee, Connie Haines, Vic Schoen, The Andrews Sisters, The Boswell Sisters, Dick Stabiel, Paul Whiteman, Jack Teagarden, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Count Basie, Billy Eckstein, Johnny Hodges, Charlie Barnette, Stan Kenton, Charlie Spivak, Les Brown, Johnny Mercer, Xavier Cugat, Glen Grey, Casa Loma… only the true swing masters who invented & perfected authentic jazz… none of their failed pupils who took all the fun out of jazz & bruised it & stole the name. Fact is, all music is about freeing yourself, and all music is identifiable by a rigid discipline that one can freely fly within. The moment it doesn’t sound like that anymore, it isn’t that anymore.


-The music here was born in the garages & sidewalks of the world, not in a Madison Avenue office.


This list is about MUSIC & MUSICIANS who work collaboratively, not self-deluded solo act singers who have no talent, can’t play an instrument or write their own material, but yet look good ONLY due to the labor of uncredited musicians & market saturation. That’s not music. That’s noise.




Aren't you tired of the bland homogenized cultural treason defecating all over media? Have a GOOD TIME! Choose GOOD MUSIC!



Louis Armstrong said there’s two kinds of music: Good, & then that other stuff.

Music is defined as that which is pleasing to the ear. Noise is that which is not.

This list is for people who like music rather than noise. You're welcome.





A note: Some films have no photo or maybe no synopsis but do indeed have links.

● Contributors cannot magickally have links for everything just because a page for it exists since contributors don’t make the pages. Software does that, not people, since it is mirroring IMDB & TVmaze. Software makes the pages, posts the pics, it does all the work. It’s automated.


ALL PAGES ARE PLACE HOLDERS when created.


● Only later are links placed WHEN POSSIBLE. Some things are very rare & hard to find. If you are unwilling to contribute the link yourself, then you’re out of luck.

✔ Requests are currently accepted in the website forum. Sometimes that isn’t the case which is too bad, but that’s the way it is at times, so it’s best to suck it up & move on.

Included are exclusive interviews with Katia Samutsevich, the Pussy Riot member who was released; families of the women; famed Russian journalist, Masha Gessen; artists; and dissidents.

From civil rights to the anti-war movement to the struggles of workers, folksinger Phil Ochs wrote topical songs that engaged his audiences in the issues of the 1960s and 70s.
