What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report


I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

Jesus Jones - "Doubt"  

I haven't listened to this CD in about 20 years. Brings back memories of good times......

Andy Timmons Band,  Resolution - I really like the album a lot. Not available on Spotify for some time, but played that one a lot before it got removed.


Savath&Savalas - Apropa't

Savath&Savalas - The Rolls & Waves EP

Savath&Savalas - The Predicate (Dub Version)

Savath&Savalas - Folk Songs for Trains, Trees and Honey

Savath&Savalas - La Llama
Well Of Mercy by Michael Kelsh. Produced by Bill Halverson (CSN&N, Clapton, Cream, Hendrix, Chuck Berry, The Beach Boys, Albert King, Keith Jarrett, Bad Company, The Texas Tornedos, Ravi Shankar. Damn!), and executive produced by Rodney Crowell (a good sign, and what lead me to the album), it is full of great songs and singing in a low-key, almost all-acoustic style. I love it!
jafant, I'm going to revisit Danzig! Loudly!

It's kind of dark and rainy here today so I toned things down somewhat. 

Sting, Ten Summoner's Tales
Gamalon, Aerial View

Duran Duran, "Come Undone" excellent effort by these guys. Perhaps their best.

Beck - Sea Change
Beck - Morning Phase

Strong song-writing throughout: achingly beautiful melodies and soul-stirring lyrics; arrangements that are some of the best I've ever heard in popular music.  Two great albums regardless what certain aging drummers might think of Beck's talents...but maybe that was just the arrogance of old age talking.  

Well! ;-) I have heard Beck only superficially, live opening for Dylan (eh), live on TV (not good), and playing on record store sound systems while I browse (I haven’t been "engaged"). I know songwriters who like his stuff, so who am I to disagree? At least regarding his recorded work, which I have not investigated. Some people are better live, others on recordings. Perhaps Beck is the latter.

They say the best is the enemy of the rest. I liked The Beatles version of "Money (That's What I Want)" until I heard Barrett Strong's version, theirs thereafter sounding like a bunch of kids. Same with The Yardbirds version of "Train Kept A Rolling" until I heard the incredible version by The Rock 'n Roll Trio (Johnny Burnette). What I look for in a songwriter and/or singer may not be what Beck does. He apparently DOES provide others with what they crave. That's great; not everyone likes the same foods either.

Another vote for Beck !

He moves a bit awkwardly? You have got to be kidding. That spastic routine is part of his shtick. Part of his charm. Joe Cocker. Now, there’s a guy that moved awkwardly! 🕺
Agnes Obel "PHILHARMONICS"

reminds me of Feist but a bit less commercial sounding

quite good
The Cars - Self entitled

George Michael - Symphonica / This is a bluray audio disc a friend loaned me. I'm not a GM fan so no comment.

The Notwist - Neon Golden / Not for everyone, maybe even not for many, but the SQ is off the charts!
Rod Stewart, Every Picture Tells a Story

And a Holiday favorite, "Red-Suited Superman"

Happy Holiday's!

Nutty,

Rod Stewart's - "Every Picture Tells a Story" is one on my all time favorite albums. It's darn near perfect. Was even rated #1 rock album of all time by one publication (sorry, can't remember the author). Not sure it's #1, but it is certainly in my top 5. It's a really, really good album.


Another +vote for Rod Stewart. He is my fave male vocalist.

"Every Picture Tells A Story" is a must-own, Top 10 all-time album.

Happy Listening!

reubent, jafant,
I agree with you guys. It never disappoints!
