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".

Love Van Morrison - Moondance is a classic. Hey have you had a chance to listen to his latest?
3 Chords and the Truth.

My appreciation for The new one has really grown on me with repeated listens.
it’s amazing how much good much he has put out and is still putting out over his long career.

Have not heard Three Chords.  I probably have more Van Morrison than any other artist (well, except maybe Dylan) but not that one.  The latest Van M. I spent a lot of time with was Keep It Simple (2008).  I have Born To Sing from 2012, but little time with it. 

I get in modes (weeks) where I'm listening to a LOT of Van.   I keep going back to Common One, Poetic Champions, No Guru...No Teacher, Back On Top & The Healing Game.  Pulling out Moondance today was the first time in a long time. 

Pretty certain there are other releases along with Three Chords that I have missed since Keep It Simple.  I'll try to remember to check out Three Chords on Tidal tomorrow.  Thanks for the suggestion.  

Van's output is amazing and while the critics haven't liked it all - for me, I could probably listen to him sing the phone book and be happy.   


@ghosthouse, I feel lucky to have seen Van perform live when he was still in Them. It was in a small club in San Jose, California, 1967 iirc, though it may have been late '66. He, Stevie Winwood, and Paul Jones (Manfred Mann) were the best singers of the British Invasion bands.

Thanks for the comments.  Another case of "concert-envy".  Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.  Don't get me started about Steve Winwood.  Agree with you - one of the greatest rock vocalists (and not a bad GITtar player either...not only organ).  Don't know Paul Jones.  Are you positive about the Manfred Mann connection? (aka Manfred Mann's Earthband).  All I can remember by them was Blinded By The Light (that is one Springsteen song I really hate) and Quinn The Eskimo.  Don't remember their vocalist lighting things up for me.  

@ghosthouse, Paul Jones was in only the original Manfred Mann line up, the first four albums, I believe. He sang the early hits like "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", and left the band in the middle of '66.

Manfred Mann was very different from the other British Invasion bands, being distinctly Jazz and R & B driven. Little known fact: Jack Bruce was a member for awhile!
