I thought I'd bring in a thread that attracts a lot of post on a music forum I visit a lot.
It has more longevity than 'Who's your favourite artist?'. You can post when you listen to something different.
I'll start...
Over the last few days, I have downloaded and listened in the car to (with great pleasure) an iTunes Essentials collection called The Great American Songbook.

I've Got You Under My Skin
I prepared four of these songs for a private solo function last Friday. I enjoyed putting them out so much I decided I would learn some more when driving around...
...When I can get my younger son to stop playing endless Drum n Bass!... I have to admit I have warmed to BENGA a lot since having it rammed down my ears... The relentless sampled rhythms do drive me up the wall with most DnB...
Since swapping recordings by Transatlantic post with Larrysputnik of our own bands, and discussing some influences and likes in our own written music, I ended up recommending The Stone Roses and Ian Brown to Joe. The chat made me get four Ian Brown albums back on my iPod and I've been driving around in deep joy back and forwards to work. My favourite tracks are Dolphins Are Monkeys, and F.E.A.R.
I had to get a burst of Elton John on my way back from London yesterday so spent a great 90 minutes listening to his last CD The Captain And The Kid, and then a CD from 1992 called The One.
Elton John is not left unplayed for long by me.
I also enjoyed the CD Larry/Joe posted me last week VERY much. An intelligent crew playing TIGHTLY. Neat.
