What are the last 3 full albums you listened to?

They can be downloads, CDs, vinyl - just so you heard all the songs.

Mine -

Charlotte Sometimes - Waves & the Both of Us (I like Charlotte Sometimes (real name is Jessica Charlotte Poland). And she also has a unique beauty)

Brooke White - High Hopes & Heartbreak (Doesn't quite have the special quality needed to be a classic like those albums she's inspired by, but one of the best of the year)

Beatles - 1 (they show why they are my favorite band!)

Latest song was "Soldier" by Ingrid Michaelson, which was great. I can't buy the album now and don't do illegal downloading (I just like paying for music, and Ingrid is one of many artists who don't like her albums being downloaded for free - so I'll see if I can hear her upcoming album on one of those full album listening parties.)

I've got eclectic musical tastes

David Bowie - Aladdin Sane
Ani DiFranco - Dilate
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads

Miley Cyrus doing vocals on a new Nick Cave version of Curse of Milhaven. She's nearly the perfect age, after all!

Scoff if you wish, but I would never have guessed that Kylie Minogue was up to the task, either...

:D

Green Day, American Idiot

Snow Patrol, Eyes Open

Various artists, Newbury Comics: The Early Years (tracks by The Skids, Buzzcocks, The Alarm, Wall of Voodoo, The Cramps, OMD, The Specials, Stiff Little Fingers, Bad Brains, Iggy Pop, Blondie, The Stranglers, 999)

:thumbsup:

I'm sure I'd like it, though - I enjoy both new and old Green Day music.

"The Crane Wife" by the Decemberists

Yesterday: "The Moon and Antarctica" (my all-time favorite album) by Modest Mouse

Sunday night: "Source Tags and Codes" by ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead (one of my top ten all-time)

Master Of Reality -- Black Sabbath (I often put this on as a starting point when I'm looking to listen to something and want to listen to something while I look.)

Time Out -- The Dave Brubeck Quartet (The second-to-last album I downloaded.)

Van Halen -- Van Halen (The last album I downloaded.)

Chad and Jeremy, Cabbages and Kings

Village Stompers, Washington Square

(all vinyl)

i had a few 45`s of chad and jeremy...and the village stompers...i have`t heard that name in years.

The Just Joans - "Hey Boy You're Oh So Sensitive"

Scottish folk-pop

The Layaways - "The Space Between"

Indie (powerish) pop

The Sundays - "Reading, Writing and Arithmetic"

Jangly Smiths inspired indie rock.

:hi:

James Taylor "October Road"

Ani DiFranco "Dilate"

I love it, even if his old stuff is hard to beat..

Love his old stuff too. I think "October Road" came out in 2002 or so.

nice shiny vinyls from ebay---all for 15 bucks

1). Miles In Berlin (early live recording of his "Second Great Quintet," Miles / Wayne Shorter / Herbie Hancock / Tony Williams / Ron Carter)



2). Grand Funk Railroad - Good Singin', Good Playin' (final album of the original lineup before the first breakup / subsequent reunions, produced by FRANK ZAPPA, who also plays lead guitar on the track "Out To Get You," stand-out tracks are "Goin' For The Pastor" (Mark Farner lead vocals) and "Pass It Around" (Don Brewer lead vocals)...also a bonus track that wasn't on the original album, "Rubberneckin'")



3). Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks (one of his best albums, period. The song that always pulls me back to this one is "Tangled Up In Blue"...I still think Bob's original is the definitive version).



:toast:

and Bruce Springsteen- Lucky Town......above two on vinyl , and Bruce on cassette tape

1. Mark Isham's music soundtrack to "The Beast."
2. Mark Knopfler's "Local Hero."
3. Mark Knopfler's "The Princess Bride."

Evidently, I was also on a kick for soundtracks by musicians named Mark... B-)

Two Ton Boa Ep




Menomena - Friend and Foe




28 WEEKS LATER Soundtrack - John Murphy

The Lovin' Spoonful - Do you believe in Magic
Big Brother and the holding Company (their first album)

Interesting transition from Jug Band to psychedelic music - I was there and almost remember everything but I discovered 1) The Lovin' Spoonful wasn't spit without John Sebastian. 2) Big Brother had pretty rough sounding guitars and Janis's voice had not yet been corrupted by alcohol and drugs. 3) I still love NGDB's earliest work (I occasionally heard their music in my sleep!).

in that order.. i think.. or maybe reverse.. there was a lot of weed involved.. heheheh.. :evilgrin:

Richmond Fontaine- We Used To Think The Freeway Sounded Like A River


Audible Sigh- Vigilantes Of Love


The Gradual Moment- Old Reliable

Dream Theater: Black Clouds & Silver Linings
張惠妹 (A-mei): AMIT
Ayreon: 01011001

1) Beatles - Sgt. Pepper
2) Moody Blues - In Search Of The Lost Chord
3) Love - Forever Changes

(Yes, I'm on a bit of a late-'60s kick...how can you tell? ;-) )

Miles Davis, In A Silent Way

Powerful in its simplicity-takes my mind off whatever I'm preoccupied with whenever I put it on.

Marissa Nadler, Little Hells

Cool ether-pop similar to Mazzy Star. A contender for my best of the year list.

Tori Amos, Abnormally Attracted to Sin

Two listens in and this one's not really grabbing me, but I may not be giving it enough attention. To be continued.

I'm a Tori fan, but I think the moodiness on her new CD overwhelms her melodies and piano playing.

Scocha--folk/rock from Scotland
Iz--Israel Kamakawiwo ole
Les Choristes--soundtrack

all beautiful vocals.

2. Fever Tree-Another Time, Another Place
3. Lightning Hopkins-Mojo Hand.

and Simon and Garfunkel in Central Park

Underneath the Stars by Kate Rusby.

And I am blanking out on the third most recent. I think the one before that was John Gorka's Out of the Valley.

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Nursery Crime
Selling England By The Pound

Bitches Brew
Fables of the Reconstruction
Remain In Light

:-)

Also Gogol Bordello's Super Taranta and either MIA's Kaya or Levon Helm's Electric Dirt, can't remember which one was last.

Hi, SteppingRazor! Have heard of Levon Helm but have not listened to him yet. :hi:

As for Levon, you might be more-familiar with his work in the 60s and 70s with a little group called The Band. :)

They were good. Thought his name was recognizable.

Hugely underrated as a drummer. Anyone who can do a kick-ass job on the drums while also singing lead melodies is superhuman, imho.

thought a fan might like it. :hi:

Is it deep blues? I respect that genre a lot, but it's not something I usually buy. I usually buy more pop stuff like A Fine Frenzy, The Corrs, Kay Hanley, Girls Aloud, New Pornographers, Green Day, Michelle Branch, Kelly Clarkson, Tinted Windows, etc. But I definitely like The Band, so not sure I should rule out buying the album based on the samples.

like I said in my last comment, I'd get his 2007 comeback album, Dirt Farmer. Especially the title track and "The Mountain." They're not what I would call "poppy," but they are good tunes.

"Dirt Farmer" indeed sounds closer to my taste. :hi:

Yeah, me either, because I spent about 7 hours playing music. :)

last three on my Songbird (which is just like ITunes, basically)...

Cheap Trick - The Latest (The song When The Lights Are Out is too catchy by half. For each time I listen to it it plays another 10 times in my head.)

Ed Hall - Permission To Rock...Denied (One of my all time favorite bands. I knew they had an unreleased CD from right before they changed into a different band named Pong, but we had never gotten ahold it. Even as friends of the band we couldn't get it. I found it yesterday on a Russian site by pure chance. YAY!!!!)

Akron/Family - Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free (Just a bunch of friggin hippies, by their own admission. Interesting stuff, and not my usual fare.)

They are still going extremely strong! The album's a bit ballad-heavy, but when they are that good, nothing wrong about that. :hi:

Which of course throws me, as the more guitar the better (there was band called Superconductor in the 90's that had 9 of them...it was awesome, especially live!). I bought it on Monday so I've only given it a few listens so far, and it is growing on me, as everything they do tends to do. I still think Zander has one of the best voices in music.

:hi:

I guess I'm so much of a fan that the lack of guitar didn't bother me. The ballads, especially "Miracle," are kind of McCartney-ish. :hi:

Probably the closest I've heard to them. The music is often different, but the harmonies are right there. :)

As you know, the Beatles are my #1 artist. Corrected the spelling to "McCartney"; was in a rush.

Have a great day! Maybe sometime soon I'll create a top 10 of female singers, male singers, and band/duos (putting newer and older of each into separate categories.) :hi:

Radiohead - In Rainbows

Oingo Boingo - either Good For Your Soul or Nothing to Fear... they're both on one CD and I'm not sure which one's first.

The Wallflowers-Bringing Down The Horse

Tom Petty-Wildflowers

The Cult-Dreamtime

Stand Up- Jethro Tull
Benefit- Jethro Tull

All on vinyl.

Opeth-Blackwater Park

Opeth-Orchid

Opeth-Deliverence

Shadows Fall-Art of Balance

Five Finger Death Punch-Way of the Fist(been jamming on White Knuckles/Devils Own lately).

:)

A little taste for the uninitiated...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm3XZeRyTHg

Magica - Dio
The Devil You Know - Heaven & Hell
Richie Blackmore's Rainbow - Rainbow

Yes, there is a discernible pattern here.

:)

(CD's I had in my car during a road trip)

I dig the blues and I have a special place in my heart for The Kinks (and Arthur is my favorite).

Mark Knopfler, Shangri-La
Mark Knopfler, Sailing to Philadelphia
Harry Manx, Mantras for Madmen

:hi:

band called Bluegrass Express and Alan Jackson "Here in the Real World".

Twin Peaks: Season Two Music and More
Antonio Carlos Jobim's Finest Hour

Listened to these on a long drive in the car.

Lady, GaGa Fame ( I know but it rocks!!!!!! Dont judge me!!) LOL

Pink, Funhouse

Greenday, American Idiot

U2 Achtung Baby

Metallica the black album

ummm... can't really think of another album where I just sat down and listened to everything. I usually listen to singles on youtube or last.fm.

I'm pretty sure the last time I listened to a whole album straight through was on a road trip in 1996.

On edit: I have a creeping suspicion that the third album was either Enya or Black 47.

You should hear some of the stuff I'm into. You'd feel a lot better about your choices. ;)

Can't recall when I listened to a music CD from start to finish. I tend to cherry pick and jump around and shuffle... and listen more to audiobooks.

Of course, that doesn't stop me from buying CDs and stuff...

I'm losing it.

Pictures at an Exhibition - Mussorgsky, Vladimir Horowitz
Still Got the Blues - Gary Moore

Desire...Dylan

Angel Clare...Art Garfunkle

Shut up and play your guitar....Zappa
