The Library of Congress has revealed the latest National Recording Registry inductees.

ABBA's "Dancing Queen," Blondie's era-defining Parallel Lines, The Notorious B.I.G.'s landmark Ready to Die, Green Day's Dookie, The Chicks' "Wide Open Spaces" and Lily Tomlin's comedy are among the inductees.

Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden named 25 recordings as audio treasures worthy of preservation for all time based on their cultural, historical or aesthetic importance in the nation's recorded sound heritage. The 2024 class of inductees also includes Gene Autry's "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," The Cars' debut album, Perry Como's "Catch a Falling Star" / "Magic Moments," Juan Gabriel's heartbreaking "Amor Eterno," Hector Lavoe's salsa hit "El Cantante," Kronos Quartet's "Pieces of Africa," Johnny Mathis' "Chances Are," Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy," Patti Page's "Tennessee Waltz," and Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine."

The recordings selected for the National Recording Registry bring the number of titles on the registry to 650, representing a small portion of the national library's vast recorded sound collection of nearly 4 million items.

The latest selections named to the registry span from 1919 to 1998. They range from the recordings of the all-Black 369th U.S. Infantry Band led by James Reese Europe after World War I, to defining sounds of jazz and bluegrass, and iconic recordings from pop, dance, country, rock, rap, Latin and classical music.

To listen to many of the recordings, the Digital Media Association compiled a list of some streaming services with National Recording Registry playlists, available at https://dima.org/national-recording-registry-class-of-2024/.

In a recent interview with The Standard promoting her BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Sounds series, "Courtney Love's Women," Courtney Love slammed Taylor Swift, saying "she's not important" and "not interesting as an artist."

"Taylor is not important," Love said. "She might be a safe space for girls, and she's probably the Madonna of now, but she's not interesting as an artist."

It's not known why Love has a contrarian view about Swift now after having wished her a happy birthday in December 2021 via Facebook. She called Swift an "aspirational huge role model for many young women" at the time. The post also featured a photo of Love and her "occasional hair twin/neighbor."

Courtney also spoke about Lana Del Rey and Madonna during the recent interview with The Standard.

"I haven't liked Lana since she covered a John Denver song, and I think she should really take seven years off," she said. "Up until 'Take Me Home Country Roads' I thought she was great. When I was recording my new album, I had to stop listening to her as she was influencing me too much."

About Madonna, Love said, "I don't like her and she doesn't like me. I loved Desperately Seeking Susan, but for the city of New York as much as her."
