So what are you listening to at the moment?

looking though some of my vinyl, i came a cross a picture disk of a band called Darkside. i don't remember buying it or the band in question... just listening to it now...... tripping out man.. not been played before was still in the plastic coating... sat there for 26 years.

guys that were in Spacemen 3.... apparently
 
Anyone listened to the new Rolling Stones album? Its old blues covers, back to the stuff they were playing when they started out. Had a couple of listens today and really enjoyed it.
 
Heard these on Radcliffe & Maconie last week. The most perfectly atmosphericly Christmassy thing I've heard.

it will be on as we lunch chez Nous this Sunday

Trick of the tail. Currently shaking the room with Ripples.

The only album for which I made an effort to get to my local record shop on the day it was released so that I could buy it and listen to it before anyone else that I knew - and it still one of my all time favourite albums - and of course Ripples - Sail away, away

Debating in my mind whether to ask Santa for LLDoB on vinyl as it is the one PG album I don't have - other than a terrible taping, but I think that Leonard Cohen's last album You Want It Darker might win out.

Currently got The Best Of Chris Rea - New Light Through Old Windows on my turntable.

Getting really good reviews on a couple of audiophile forums I read. Hoping someone will give me a copy on Sunday.
 
I saw the Chieftans and with their guest album The Long Black Veil at the Albert Hall about 25 years ago.
The CD is great with Stones, van Morrison, Sinead o'Connor etc.
Rocky Road to Dublin with the Stones is just a joy of musicality.

Blind Melons:o

No Rain ? Brilliant song - the little girl in the video I believe was his sister and was bullied at school so they put her in the video

This was my one and only time at Glastonbury and lucky to witness what a good number still say was the best ever headline set on the Pyramid Stage

Queen playing at Live Aid 1985 must be the best ever live performance. We watched most of it as it happened on TV and recorded it on VHS
Coldplay don't even come close .
 
Phil, if you can remember which bands you watched then you may not have done Glastonbury correctly :D. Like you, only been the once, in 89? 90? Somewhere round there, anyway. No clue at all who I saw!

To get back to the thread, this is what's currently in my car CD player, amazing album (actually amazing box set of 5) and this is a standout track

I was there. Awesome simply doesn't describe it. Was lucky to see Queen three times live and they always delivered.

I'm currently listening to the Dave Clark Five on spotify having caught a documentary about them on Sky Arts last week. Some superb music I@d forgotten all about
