I must have been absent the day this was decided because I don't ever remember it being put to a vote!!!!

You missed the fine print!

[quote=Pete;252732]Very recently I have been playing the heck out of Alan Parsons Project's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination Edgar Allen Poe" It is an absolutely brillant album. quote]

Truly.
And the term "project" was never more appropriate.
He had something like 300 musicians for that album.
I'm going to have to play The System of Dr Tarr & Professor Fether now.


Lately I've been listening to Jeff Healey - Mess O' Blues, his last album before his untimely death, and his recent return to the blues (he'd been doing a lot of jazz).

I'm listening to a jazz music at this very moment, and it makes me dance while preparing something healthy to eat.

[AllanMcPherson]

My wife. And BDL, of course.

Speaking of where is BDL haven't seen him around lately?

[Peachcreek]

Portishead, David Byrne, OAR, Nick Cave, Michael Franti. A bunch of new stuff lately. New year, new music.

[shroomgirl]

he's around....

I've gone back to listen to Diane Rheams 12/31 show with Maya Angelou, my josh that woman is a national treasure. Inspirational. Krista Tippett's speaking of faith has a series right now on virtues that is also inspirational. Now to incorporate some of those virtues into everyday life.

There is a little classical I have but I can't name anything off-hand that I listen too on a regular basis

[OregonYeti]

I love Allan Parsons Project, and Dark Side Of The Moon (Allan Parsons produced it).

I listen to a lot of jazz, new stuff like Derek Trucks, Green Light, and Jeff Babko. I listen to Acoustic Alchemy a lot, some Yellowjackets, Weather Report,Spyro Gyra. . .

Sometimes I'm in the mood for classical--Chopin, Saint-Saens, Mozart.

Gino D'Auri plays some great Flamenco, his own compositions.

[shroomgirl]

did any of you see Christina Vicky Barcelona?......the music was outstanding....and it was one of Woody Allen's best, imo.

[chefhow]

The changer at home currently has Jack Johnson, G Love with Special Sauce, Rush, Pantera, Black Label Society, Harry Conick Jr, Micheal Buble, Sinatra, Neil Diamond, James Taylor and Gordon Lightfoot.

I listen to a lot of jazz... some Yellowjackets,

Had the pleasure of cooking for the Yellowjackets back in '93, prior to Live Wires recording, then again in '99. Fantastic band! Amazing music! Saw them for the first time in '89 in a club the size of a small living room... changed my life.

[SDesforges]

Been listening to a lot of Buddy Guy, BB King, and something new (new to me, amyhow)...a bluesman named King Ernest Baker. ...and, as always, plenty Stevie Ray Vaughan.

I'll throw in some Sarah Vaughn and Bille Holiday from time to time. I regularly add a bit of Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. I like some of the Big Band era stuff, too, like Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman. Stan Getz gets some play, as does some New Orleans jazz stuff like Kermit Ruffins.

Hey ChefDrizzle!
Glad to know someone else is into Michael Franti and Spearhead-love 'em. Fun with politics!
Since you're in Rochester, have you been to Mountain Jam?-they play there just about every year.

Since I've been doing a lot of baking for work, I've been listening to Cake a lot-fun. It helps inspire the male child-unit who got an electric bass guitar for Xmas. Now if I can just keep the walls from vibrating.

Included in the mix is some old Traffic, Black Keyes, Keb Mo and Taj Mahal.
