Pynchon and Music

[Ya Sam]

Another question to the P-listers in the know. I realise that many specific 
references to American (British?) music of 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s etc. 
are simply lost to me, because I am only aware of the most popular and 
pretty obvious samples (I even didn't know about the lollypop song before 
reading GR). So I would be grateful if you could advise me a "must music 
package" for his novels (especially Vineland and GR) in terms of performers, 
groups, albums, songs etc. I am not a complete ignoramus, (Sinatra I know 
:-) but I do realise that I need to do some listening in my spare time to 
appreciate more Pynchon's texts. Thanks in advance.
