What are you listening to? Part III

[Scepticalscribe]

Have just listened to "Rubber Soul", and yes, it is every bit as good as recent memory suggested, - unfortunately, an under-rated album, - because it was over-shadowed by the albums that immediately followed - namely, Revolver, Sgt Pepper's and magisterial later work of the Beatles.

But, in terms of musical development, Rubber Soul is the turning point and a key pointer as to what was to come. Thank you, @JamesMike, for the timely reminder to pay Rubber Soul a return visit.

Listening to Jethro Tull, and will follow that with Steeleye Span.......

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Now, immersed in Steeleye Span - some amazing and timeless music......

 

[Apple fanboy]

It was mostly Imagine Dragons today. Mostly Smoke and Mirrors Album.

Maxime Saury - Petite Fleur


No kids in the house. Stretching the speakers out. Bliss.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

And more Steeleye Span - this is brilliant stuff....
[doublepost=1503098130][/doublepost]And now - Laetatus Sum - by Claudio Monteverdi.

Swoon. Sublime.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Don't quite know why - or how - I have graduated from Rubber Soul, Jethro Tull, and Steeleye Span, to The Moody Blues - specifically - their album - "In Search Of The Lost Chord"....but, I have....and, it is rather good...

I don't listen to much country, but I love this song:

More Imagine Dragons as we drove around this morning.

Gosh, I'd forgotten how awesome Paul Di'Anno era Iron Maiden is...(the first two albums are the only Maiden I still listen to besides the post Di'Anno song The Trooper.)

and studio version...

I remember being annoyed when I finally got to see Maiden in 1982, Di'Anno was out of the band. Steve Harris was freaking awesome though.

wha...? bruce dickinson hasn't always been the lead singer?

No, sir. Paul Di'Anno was the voice of the band prior to Dickinson joining in late 1981 - early 1982. I also prefer the first two albums for their punk-energy undercurrent.

I remember when barely teenaged me bought Mercyful Fate's debut e.p. at some cruddy record store and the shop owner tried to chew me out for wanting this (not only the subject matter, but the cover featured a topless girl about to be sacrificed.)

He said "You can't buy that!"

Me: "So why are you selling it?"

Him: "But...you..."

Me: "I guess you don't want to make money from me today, huh?"

I walked out with it...

Coldplay first thing. Mostly their older stuff.

Dido now. Suits my mood.

There are days when Coldplay just fits your mood, like a glove.

True. Dido is the same. Not very cheerful but that's okay today.

And, when I am in a mood that even Coldplay cannot reach, I find Philip Glass my only suitable musical companion.

 

[0388631]

I'm partial to a bit of Enya when I need a mood lifter. Loreena McKennitt isn't bad either.

 

[pachyderm]

lol.

there are moments, @Scepticalscribe & @Apple fanboy, when your musical tastes are sublime... then there are moments like now...

 

[Scepticalscribe]

While I will not succumb to silly acronyms, I will admit to a quiet chuckle upon reading your post, @pachyderm.

Anyway, to be quite candid, I am not in a mood to explore Philip Glass just now; he is for those Dark Nights of the Soul......those times when you just need that sort of predictably morbid, musical companion.

Which has rattled your cage?
Coldplay, Dido or Phillip Glass?

I suppose your listening to the stuff Lewis Hamilton is recording before he hangs up his driving gloves?
