51. Part 1: “Acknowledgement” by John Coltrane

Year Released: 1965

54. What is Hip? by Tower of Power

Year Released: 1973
Released On: Tower of Power
Nominated by Sir Jon of Pint O’ Comics who says: Tower of Power celebrates their 50th anniversary this year. They will still be asking you, “What is Hip?” at all their performances and you’ll be answering: “TOWER OF POWER”. TOP is still hip and this song cranks it out to remind you. Killer brass with a percussive beat you dig from start to finish.
