You do know what that means, right?

I never really thought about it, just googled it though.

The way you phrased it was too much of an open goal to resist. Sorry

Hah, just realised what I typed.

Just discovered the band Failure and their album 'Fantastic Planet' is really very good.

I moved into the 21st Century yesterday and was listening to Tool, still undecided on them, some if the stuff I heard was good but I wasnt taken with everything

What I have really been enjoying this week is not music but comedy, I have started listening to Mark Steel is in Town on BBC sounds, I had heard snippets in the past but am going through the series, it is often laugh out loud goodness.

My daughter put something on the wifes car stereo the other day via her mobile apparently saying to mum....this is a great song...you wont have heard of the band.

Oh how I laughed when my wife told me.

So I thought I'd dig out the album and, having the house to myself this afternoon, Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Welcome to the Pleasuredome has been played....loud!!!

(the song my daughter played was "Relax")

Random and a bit of a throw back but been listening to The Streets and a bit of Amy Winehouse

Over 25 years old.

There is great music being released every week. Why does hardly anyone on here realise that?

Already in 2026 great albums by Dry Cleaning and Lucinda Williams.

It's not bad but Lateralus and Aenima are peak Tool.

I recall going into my school Art Dept at start of my 3rd yr (I think) and the album was on display framed as a prize for an art competition being run. I was amazed by the cover. I hadn't heard of ELP and at the time didn't buy many albums, and certainly not rock or pop (I hadn't yet gone all in for Genesis). But I had the opportunity to borrow a copy from a friend and it became a favorite of mine and still is. I taped it and was so taken by the cover art I copied it for the cassette insert, and still have it. Welcome back my Friends....

Koko Taylor’s version of I’d rather go blind, what a voice.

Great band. One of my favourite songs of all time is Life of Riley.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Cos it popped up in my YouTube feed last night...right this minute before setting off to the club...Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird. I've not heard it for ages - and this is a live version I'd not seen or heard before. Of course most of us will know it...

Supposed to have been sorting out my old CD collection but spent more time listening to them than sorting them. One thing that struck me was that all Trance producers that released studio albums from around 2002-2012 all had at least one ambient track on them. Some, admittedly, better than others.

But then remembered probably one of the best ambienbt tracks to be included on such album and had to listen to it a few times to re-appreciate how damn good it is. Armin van Buuren teamed up with the superb Nadia Ali.
