What Are You Listening To Now?

[Blaarev]

And now Leonard Cohen. This whisky business is making me maudlin.

Listening to The Czars in the car today and I have to say that they are NOT a band you want to listen to in a car! I'll give them another chance, probably one evening with a dram and the lights out so I can concentrate on the lyrics and tunes and that glorious voice!

Blaarev - I'll give you a frank review once I have listened under the right conditions.

Definitely not one for the car that's for sure :icon_bigg

Pale Green Ghosts doesn't work well in the car either unless I play it REALLY LOUD!

I thought you were having a purge?

 

[SwedeFox]

Gilbert O'Sullivan. One of my dad's favourite singers. He's also a big fan of BJ Thomas and Peter Cetera. Back to drawing board, spion.

I am. It's just that I'm starting with the REALLY crap stuff :icon_wink

This may explain why the youngsters on this forum take the piss out of me. I'm a child of the (early!) sixties so am bound to have slightly elderly tastes more suited to peoples dads :icon_bigg

Back to drawing board, spion.

Not finished purging yet!

You're the same age as me, that is no excuse for your godawful playlists.

 

[spionfox]

You're the same age as me.........

I have always pictured you to be mid-thirties.

Just goes to show :icon_bigg

Now listen to some Beethoven symphonies. All the way through, not excerpts. His 6th and 9th are my favourites.

Crikey. First Hector and now Webbo. You are both attempting to compromise my musical preferences by introducing the classical element.

I will give all of these a listen over the weekend and give my considered opinion afterwards.

I don't want to fall into the same trap as last time though. Can I take it that Sir Simon Rattle is again not the preferred conductor to truly appreciate Beethoven?
