What is Music Stew? It’s ten songs–in this case, all from the 70’s to narrow things down a bit–all bundled together into one ball of confusion. (No, that one’s not in the mix.)
All ten songs start from their beginning.
The clip’s length (about 2:57) was dictated by the length of the shortest of the songs (although it would have been interesting to let the full clip play out as the songs were eliminated from the mix one by one, but that would have been too easy).
List whatever songs you can identify in the comments section. I’ll help by weeding out any wrong answers, and eventually by a group effort maybe all ten will be named.
Here’s a tip: Each of these songs has parts that stand out from the other tracks. Identifying most of them should be a matter of simply listening for the moments when a particularly distinctive musical tone stabs through the cacophony. From then on it’s easy to pick up a single song’s thread. And almost every one of the ten has a very distinctive beginning. Listening to the first few seconds a few times should help you to name several of the songs. Good luck!
p.s. This also makes great background music at work. Play loud!

I’m not getting much here on the first few attempts. Sounds like stew. With mashed potatoes….Will try again. Headphones is a good idea.

Yeah, I was careful in adjusting relative volume levels of each song so that none dominated or was TOO easily discerned.
Guess you could say Music Stew is part of a balanced breakfast.
