Terrific choice.
My father's favourite was Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No 2 (which I also love) and I will admit that I am rather partial to Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No 1 as well.
I love all four of them, though the 2nd and 3rd are the greatest to me (3rd is my personal favorite, especially for the finale movement and the cadenza in the first movement, which is the pinnacle of musical expression as far as I'm concerned--as thrilling as any guitar solo). Rachmaninov was the master of piano concerti.
Have The Who's album 'Tommy'playing in the background while I read my new book 'The Concrete Blonde', a Harry Bosch series.
Wow.
"Tommy" is a classic, - I love the song 'Pinball Wizard' and that album by The Who brings back memories.
A few from The Beatles, two old, perhaps under-rated, but still brilliant albums: Rubber Soul, and Revolver.
And more from The Beatles: Sgt Pepper's followed by the 'White' album.
At their best, they really were very very good.

yep. 4 of my favorites from them.
To my mind, those albums in particular have aged very well.
not watching the Hungarian GP?

Let It Be as well, imho.
Sadly no. I'm out. But it's on record. First thing I'll do when I get home is hit play! So no spoilers. I had to look away as I passed all the big tv's in John Lewis!
Well, it is good to be out, occasionally.
And enjoy watching the Grand Prix when you get back.
Well, @balamw, today's post delivered a CD by a group you recommended - the 'Brooklyn Funk Essentials' - by the name of 'In The Buzzbag' which I shall listen to, over a drink or two, later n this evening.
Have you any further recommendations that you may wish to share?
Been listening to Bootie mashups for many years now. They are fantastic. I highly recommend "Royal Losers" by DJ Tripp.

An example of ineffable 'cool' from the 60s: The theme from (the TV series) The Persuaders, by John Barry.
Right now I am really digging Hellyeah's - Blood for Blood. What a kick butt album this is. I can't believe I missed it when it came out. I think I have posted this one before. But man I am really digging it!
Hope you enjoyed it. My own music collection is huge and varied. So what I listen to depends heavily on my mood.
For some reason I can't quite fathom I recently went on an Alan Parsons Project kick.
