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".

Thanks for the entry Pokey (and everybody).  I been hearing about The Rembrandts for years and know squat about them.  Guess I should get acquainted.  Will have to check out Glimmer and the Wishing Tree recordings.  Don't know those either.  

In my CDP tonight (well, music streamer...but it's still digital), just got done with Weather Report, "Sweetnighter".  Now listening to The Original Fleetwood Mac.  The Mac back when they were a real blues band.  Great sonics not to mention a simplicity and purity to the music.
Blue Suede,  "Hooked on a feeling".

the great thing about "electric rock music: is the genuine affection the singer has for all the freaks and losers he sings about--they all keep their dignity. plus the melodies are always there.

 ,

Could not agree more. Ass Ponys were special. I agree that Wussy is not a modern day Ass Ponys. I like them, but it's not the same. However, they are good live and I'm going to see them again on April 23.

I'll check out your recommendation too.....


i've heard wussy, who robert christgau praises irrationally, but don't like them as much as the ass ponys--too dark and less melodic. the great thing about "electric rock music: is the genuine affection the singer has for all the freaks and losers he sings about--they all keep their dignity. plus the melodies are always there.
from the same era, check out "united kingdom" by american music club, which is quite brilliant in an angsty sorta way.
@loomisjohnson ,

It makes me happy that there is someone out there in AudiogoN land that is familiar with this album. Ass Ponys were a local band here in Cincinnati and I used to go out often to hear them play in local bars. The band's leader - Chuck Cleaver is now co-leader of the band - Wussy. Also great.

"Earth to Grandma" is classic, but my favorites for the album are "Wall Eyed Girl", "Banlon Shirt" and "Gypped". I agree, the whole record is brilliant.
ruebent, i'm with you on electric rock music--it's brilliant. "hey grandma" might be the best song ever written. (ok, a little hyperbole)
Ass Ponys - "Electric Rock Music". Please! Listen to the whole album. It's a gem if you like hard rocking' alternative music.
Pokey77,
The Nils Lofgren is outrageous, right?!!
Paul Kossoff was a member of Free also. And was ranked 51 best guitarist by Rolling Stone at one time. I have to tip my hat to arcam88 for recommending him. Glad you eenjoyed it.

Nils Lofgren - Live  (reference quality)

Odetta - Blues Everywhere I Go  (also reference quality)

Pinback - Blue Screen Life

Motion City Soundtrack - I Am the Movie

Owsley - Self Entitled (RIP 2010)
Nutty:

"Back Street Crawler". Found a gem of a track with Paul Rodgers on vocals. "Molton Gold".  -What a great tune. Paul can sing like nobody's business and great guitar work as well.
Hey Nutty,

+1 on the Nils Lofgren  - Live CD. That is a reference class CD.

Also, +1 to Son Volt. Have had the privilege of seeing them many times. Never got to see Uncle Tupelo though.
Just dropped in the "NEW" Lucifer's Friend, "too late to hate". CD.
Brand new music with the original lineup! 36 years in the making.
Sounds Fantastic!

Also just received my new copy of Lucifer's Friend "MIND EXPLODING". CD
My personal favorite is "Fugitive". Check the bass line if you dare.
