What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report


I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

@ghosthouse  Yes, you're right. Unfortunately everything is of it's time, and despite the best summer here in decades, this isn't and can't be 1966-9.

Donovan wasn't Dylan but he went places few if any others went. It's as if decided to take Mr Tambourine Man as a starting point and luckily Mickie Most was the right producer at the right time.

I love this compilation. Even my least favourite songs Preachin' Love, and Epistle to Dippy are interesting. As for Jennifer Juniper, Sand and Foam, Sunny Goodge Street, Happiness Runs and the rest - simply magical.

I’ve listened to Cat Power for over 20 years, and that is the one album I could not get into.

So it’s ironic that my fave album of hers is Jukebox.
… But today I’m listening to Bob Dylan‘s 2012 release, Tempest.
It’s studio album #35 for Bob, and it is the intertwining of the beautiful and the macabre in the world, tragicomedy at deep levels, sang with eloquence, such that one feels the pull of life and the push of death. With death being the inevitable end, we are only human, and such is life ...

E.g., The lead track, Tempest, is a 14 minute meandering mostly dedicated to the dying of the Titanic and what that must’ve been like. Just sayin
